DEMAND THAT AGENDA BE CLEAR AND SPECIFIC Sentiment in Europe Is That U. S. Participation Is Necessary / to Success. BY N. 0. MESSENGER. | Ofcial sentiment is said to be' divided on the question of the United | States joining the Genoa economic | conference, the differences of opinion extending even to the cabinet. Pres- entation of the agenda is awaited to clarify judgment in the administration council. Foreign comment as reported in cable dispatches appears to regard the participation.of the United States as essential to success, and the be-| lief overseas is that if the United States stays out the conference will be barren of practical results. The principal fear seemingly en-| tertained in this country is that by some hook or crook the conference might divest itself of its.solely eco- nomic zim and take on u political aspect, invelving ‘the politics of Europe—whereupon Uncle Sam shows signs of shying violently. The ap- prehension is also recorded here that in some way the conference might haye an edge on the Washington con- ference, although that should seem to be disposed of by the general ex- pectation that the arms and far i [ i TREAT GERMANS FIRMLY | IS POINCARE SLOGAN| Platform of New French Premier Stirs Ovation—For Strict Execution : Of Treaties. By the Ansociated Press. PARIS, January 19.—Firm treat- ment of Germany and strict execution Of the peace treaties were demanded by Premier Paincare today in pre- genting his new cabinet to parlia- ment and reading its statement of policy in the chamber of deputies. Ttis platform, as the premier voiced it, brought out an-evation from the chamber approaching the enthusiasm Clemenceau was wont to arouse in the ddrk days of the war, The chamber was crowded, while outside lingered a throng outnumber- ing those who succeeded in gaining | aamission. Premier Poincare accepted an im- mediate discussion of Interpellations, this delaying the appeal to the chumber for a vote uf confidence. The ministerial declaration de- clared that the problem of repara- tions dominates all others and that if Germany fails to fulfill her under- takings upon such a capital question the French parllament{ must, after consultation with the reparations commission, examine measures to be adopted to enforce fulfillment. The first of these measures, the premier declared, will be the establishment of serious and_ efficacious control of Germany’s budget, her issuance of paper money and her exports. he declaration emphasized that other clauses of the treaty of Ver- sailles, such as disarmament and punishment of those guilty of war crimes, must be fulfiiled. Text of Declaration. The declaration as to reparations says: ask nothing but observance ° | of the treaties which the parliament has ratified—treaties bearing, along- side of Germany’s signature. the sig- natures of France and all her allies. | We ask nothing but payment of what is due us. Unon such a vital question how can France ever recede? “The government considers that an essential consideration to general / participation in the league of na- tions. The results already obtained cnable one to measure the service the world may expect from it.” Of the ‘Genoa economic conference, the premlier's statement says: “We insist that the conditions of the Cannes protocol be accepted or rejected by the delegates \prior to any discussion, so that nont of the stipulations of the treaties can be delated, even indirectly. Unless we have precise guarantees on this point we shall be compelled to retain our [liberty of action.” Dealing with the proposed Anglo- French treaty. the statement declares: ! “We would be very happy If a pact| | destined to consolidate peace soon could | be signed between England and France. and we do not doubt, inasmuch as | both countries will bs benefited, that| | one will be concluded betéveen them on | ia basis of perfect equality. Neither do | we doubt that the guarantees, present ! {or future, that the treaties accord us { will be integrally maintained.” - Try te Prevest "’l.

CHICAGO, January 19.—Results of an operation performed to re- move a bullet from the brain of Benjamin Buckner, serving a life term In the Joliet state peniten- tiary for murder, which trans- formed him from a “bad man" to a model prisoper, will be put before the state board of paroles and par- dons in an effort t obtain his re- lease, it became known here today. Buckner was sentenced in 1905. Upon his arrival at the prison he began a reign of terror. engaging in fights Swith other prisoners and refusing to obey orders. He con- tinued to unmanageable until recently when he complained ot severe headaches. He told physi- cians that years ago he had been shot in the head and the bullet had not been removed. The bullet was found near the base of the brain. Its pressure, physicians said, was the cause.of his outbréaks.
