FRANCE AND ENGLAND CONFER LONDON, England, Nov. 7. Diplomatic wires buzzed from one European chancellory to another today as Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax laid the groundwork for their forthcoming visit to Paris, a journey that may swing France still further to the right. The new Anglo-French conference will be held in the French capital beginning November 23, according to an official announcement issued, while the British government conducted soundings on numerous fronts, including an attempt to line up the European democracies against Japanese domination of the Far East. In Paris Chamberlain and Lord Halifax will discuss with Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet a tentative plan for appeasing Germanys desire for colonies. Under this scheme it was reported Britain, France and Belgium may be called upon to yield some of the Africr.n territories to the Reich. These and other echoes of the Munich accord will come up for a thorough airing, but according to well "informed diplomatic quarters a major question before the Paris conferees will be that of communistic agitation in France.
