PARIS, Nov. French. Italian and Belgian premiers wilt meet Prime Minister Bonar Law in London at th end of next week for a discussion preliminary to the Brussels financial and reparations conference.

If Premier Polncare has his way. the silled statesmen will go direct from London to Brussels and the conference there will open by December IS. The view In French official ctrcTes Is that public opinion In France will not stand fofTtfrther postponement of the Brussels meeting and that every day's delay makes the situation djvorae. The provisional moratorium granted to the Germans at the Paris conference ends on December II, another reparations payment Is due in January on the old schedule, and the French government is unwilling to accept any temporary makeshift. Theie is a disposition in France to consider favorably a settlement whereby Germany would be granted more time In which to pay, provided she would give guarantees of good faith.

The general opinion In political circles Is that M. Polncare has committed himself so far to a program of vigorous action that, in the absence of such guarantees, he will be obliged to act or resign. The plan of penalties discussed at the recent meeting, in the Elysee Palace, although new only In th details of execution. Is also likely to come up at the London meeting. The regret of th government at the full publicity given the Elysee meetings Is said to be due to the fact that It wished to reserve the first full statement of the subject for Mr.
