states by the allied powers In an on
Leavor to induce that country to take
part in the meeting OF the commits

IL. The inviting powers-England,
japan. France. italy and Relgium-
held meeting this afternoon to con-
slider the matter further.
The French delegates are anxious
Ia have the closing plcnary session OF
the economic conference on Thursday,
but this is considered impossible, as
there Is no disposition to hurry she
I;ussians in making their final reply
regarding The Hague conference, and
it seems likely that tho closing see-
sion will not be held before Satur-
day or Monday. Tomorrow morning
the Russians will reassemble with
the subcommission on political af-
fairs to discuss plans for Tho Hague.
Tho inviting powers decided that
the Eastern Galician and Lithuanian
boundary questions would not be con-
sidered Mt this time. Lloyd
George declared that these two ques-
tious were great source OF danger
to Europe: one could not say whc,h-
err there might bc trouble this year
or next. but the questions must be
t.,eated eventually, although II was
inadvisable to press consideration
now. as there was the probability Of
truce. He hoped the Lithuanian
question. which had been referred 10

NJ. Chltcherin's clash with Wis

attracted much attention. and there
Is some speculation as to whether II
will be continued when the same sub
commission reasSemhcs with the
Russians tomorrow. Chitchcrin Is

side OF the controversy. which was
provoked by his declaration that
Russia never would permit the Far
Eastern republic to be converted in

allied republics against foreign at

Charges Jap Provoked Clash.
The discussion opened with tho
question OF Interpreting what "the
present boundaries" means in the
proposed agreement for The Hague
meeting. in which the powers agree
TO preserve the existing status quo.
NJ. Chitchcrin said that the proposed
agreement referred only to Russia,
but he wished ii understood that IL
