Genoa. May b.--(By A. P)-
Prime Minister Lloyd George OF
Great Britain and Foreign Minister
Sehanzer OF Italy addressed today q
strong appeal TO the Russian repre-.
sentstives at the conference hefe.
urging them 10 accept the allied
memorandum in its main points and
promising Russia an international
loan. with the understanding that ths
lending countries would thus provide
funds Tor the reconstruction OF Rus
sia.
The allies would claim the right to
make sure. however. that the money
loaned was actually invested in the
work Of Reconstruction.
II was asserted that altogether the
proposed loan would amount TO 800
100000 gold fancs. II has been de-
clared the Russians were asking for
5000, ,000, 900 gold rubles. or Is times
as much as the allies offer.
Soviets Issue Statement.
The Russian delegation had
previously issued a statement de-
nouncing the efforts il alleged France
and Belgium had made TO wreck the
conference. The statement called at
,cntion to the fact that these powers,
which were predicting that Russia's
refusal TO accept the memorandum
would break the conference up. had
not themselves signed the mcmoran-
dunn.
1t will be impossible for Russia
to answer the allied memorandum
until it has found out exactly what
powers stand behind the document
and what real authority it has. NJ.
Litvinoff of the Russian delegation
declared to the Associated Press
this afternoon.
Although the Italian parliament is
in session, Premier Facta returned to
Genoa from Rome this morning, ac-
companied by. Signor BertCne, called
here by the gravity Of the conference
situation.
The fifth week OF the conference.
opening today. will see the end~ot-
the conclave, it is generally believed.
Gloom Previls.
An atmosphere of gloom pervades
conference circles in view of the ap-
parent irreconcilability of the posi-
tions of England on one hand and
France and Belgium on the other
over the terms under which the re-
construction of Russia would be un-
dertaken.
Those who predict breakup
think it will take the form of an ad-
journment.
France has announced through its
chief spokesman, M. Barthou, that
it will not go on with the negotia-
tions unless the Russians give a cate
gorical answer to the memorandum.
A dilatory reply, one which meant
merely playing for time" said M.
Barthou, would bring the instant
OF France.
This action would include refusal
to consider the nonaegression pact
by Mr.. Lloyd George, a.
such a pact would be impossible un-
less there was an arrangement with
Russia.
The soviet reply is expected with
in two dayy.

Attack
on
R;::.'..' =.
Senator Walsh Cow III,
Decision to Prove Pro-
vision Of Measure
Unconstitutional.
McC Defends Plan

Washington. May s-An attack
on the flexible tariff plan proposed
by the senate finance committee on
the recommendation OF President
Harding was launched In the senate
and in the course OF the iour-hopr
debate. Chairman MeCumber. IN
charge OF the tariff bill. announced
that some OF the objections raised 10
the plan would be considered by the
committee before final senate action
on il.
Senator Walsh. democrat. Mon
tana. opened the discussion with the
delivery OF prepared address in
which he cited many authorities and
court decisions to support his arRu-
ment that the provisions were un-
constitutional. Senators Underwood
OF Alabama and Simmons OF North
Carolina. the democratic leaders,
joined him. arguing that for the first
time in the history OF the country,
il was proposed to protce, the profits
OF American manufacturers.
Defend Plan.
Chairman McCumber and Senator
Smoot OF Utah, ranking republicans
OH the finance committee, defended
the plan, the former insisting that il
the American producer raised his
price to an cxorbitant figure il was
not contemplated that the president
would increase tariff duties to protect
him. Senator Smoot expressed doubt
that the president would have TO act
in more than one case out Of thou
sand and added that the rule laid
down under which he could act was
so plain that there was no doubt
about its constitutionality.
Senator Walsh told the senate that
the constitution specifically reserved
to congress the power to lay and
collect taxes and import duties, and
that congress could not delegate this
authority. He also attacked the flex-
ible plan on the ground that no pro-
vision was made for judicial re-
view OF the presidents action in
changing rates or classifications and
contended that the rule laid down
under which the president was to
act to "equalize conditions Of COM
petition in trade was so indefinite
that the president could take into
consideration many elements aside
from production costs"
No Investigation Made.
In this connection the speaker said
debate on the question had disclosed
the committee had made no investi-
CATION into the relative cost Of pro-
duction in this country and abroad
but had been governed largely, il
not wholly, by prices Of domestic
and foreign articles in the American
market.
Replying to Senator Walsh, Sena-
tor McCumber said the president
would be authorized to take into
consideration every angle bearing on
the question and these factors might
include exchange, labor costs, freight
rates, export duties and laws and
regulations in the country of origin
and any other matters affecting
equality in the markets Of the United
States.
American manufacturers, he de-
clared, "are not much interested IN
what an article costs abroad, but in
what it is being laid down for i'll
the American market"

ity Of Pckin, was being attacked from

Tientsin. May 8.-(By A. P)-
Gen. WI Pci-Fu, who came to Tien.
tsin from Pekin in purprit OF the
Manchurian general, Chang Tso-
Lin, was ordered yesterday by the
allied military commanders here to
leave the city, as his presence was
held to be in violation Of the 1901
protocol. He refused to leave or
the ground that he was the acting
governor Chilli province and would
remain as long as necessary Tor his
purposes.
The bridges between this city and
Taku, on the south side of the Hun
river estuary, we're burned by the
rctrcating members Of Chang Tso-
Lin's army. Two thousand OF
Chang's soldiers were reported yes
tcrday in Tangku, on the north side
of the river, where their demands to
convoy them to Mukden were fruit
less, no locomotives being available.
Frequent attempts at tclephonic
communication with Tangku last
night we're unsuccessful.
Should WI acccde to the allied de-
mands to leave he would have to
move back toward Pekin, as rail
to the east and north
has been severed by the burning OF
the bridges and Japanese destroyer
is preventing the dispatch of his
forces down the river in barges.
The situation, therefore, is that,
while Chang Tso-Lin had uninter-
rupted use of the Mukden railway
for two weeks during his offensive
operations, his pusuer is now unable
to use the road to complete his VIC
tory.
A tug conveying the commander
Of the British cruiser Curfew to this
