Russ to Get Another Chance.
Genoa, April 27.-There have been
so many thrills in rapid succession at
the economic conference that every
body, delegate and layman alike, today
is wondering what will come next.
The italian statesmen, as sponsors
of the conference, were joined by Mr..
Lloyd George, M. Barthou, NJ. Theunys
and the leaders of the lesser states in
fervently hoping that the sensations
had ended and that something might
really be done about Russia, the SUI
preme remaining subject for discus
sion.
! To that, Of course, should be added
Lloyd Georges ambition for the birth
Z IF an oil Europoou aooorJ thot +ha no
lions shall not attack one another or
commit any aggression which should
j excite attack.
/ Ihe allied and neutral powers seem
/ determined to give the Russians an
/ other chance to come 10 terms, and
4 there is hope that the crisis brought on
/ by the Soviet's latest demands viii
pass. Mr.. Lloyd George particularly
| appreciates the difficulties in the way
/ of the Russians relinquishing the prac-
4 tical doctrine of the naturalization of
/ property, which incarnates the very
! fundamentals of the bolshevists' teach
ings, and efforts may be made to settle
the question of the status of private
property in Russia so that the COM
mnnist leaders may save their faces
on their pet principle
Genoa's population has lost none of
its gayety and none of its lively inter-
est in the sessions of the conference.
The absence of disorder has Gained
the apprehensions of the authorities,
and no longer are heavy bodies Of
troops to be seen in the streets, al
though reserves are conveniently near
at hand, being stationed on troopships
moored at the water front.
Not Like Washington.
On the main thoroughfares Italy's
imposing carabineers stand guard, one
every fifteen feet. Americans who at
tended the Washington conference in
stinctivels eSaGpare this picture with
the absence of both the military and
police which was remarked at Wash
ington.
Poland Claims Reservations.
Genoa, April 27.-Poland officially
denied that she ever recognized soviet
Russia without reservations"
Tchitcherin, the soviet foreign min
lister, was handed a note from the Po-
iish delegation in reply to the one he
dispatch accusing Poland of violat-
ing treaty rights.
In reply the Polish government
states that recognition was never ac-
corded soviet Russia without reserva-
TONS" and furthermore that the treaty
referred to by the soviet foreign min
lister was In reality only a protocol
and an exchange of views.
