GENOA, April 20.-The Russian men,
crandum in reply to the allied experts
report, prepared in London on the eve
of the Genoa conference, was dis
cussed tonight by Christian Rakov-
sky, president of the Ukrainian Soviet
republic, from whom THE NEW York
HERALD correspondent gathers it will
be a formidable document.
Referring to Mr.. Lloyd Georges
contention that Russia had caused the
Allies stupendous losses by accepting
the Brest-Litovsk peace. M. Rakovsky
asserted that. on the contrary, the
Bolsheviki had ended the war by SOW
ing revolutionary seeds in Germany,
thus possibly saving the Allies from
defeat. He defended the Brest- Litovsk
peace on the ground that it was nee
essary as it was physical impossi-
bility for Russia to continue the war.
citing the numberless reports OF the
allied Ambassadors in Russia as proof
| M. Rakovsky said the report Of the
allied experts was a direct contradiction
to the Cannes resolution. by virtue of
which the Genoa conference was called.
The Cannes resolution. he said. stated
that there was to be no interference
with internal affairs. whereas the ex-
perts wished to make Russia pay bill
| ions and to establish In Russia foreign
control OF Russian debts, like the Otto
man debt commission In Turkey The
Cannes resolution provided that there
was to be no interference with econom-
ical and political affairs, he said.
whereas the allied experts would inn
pose a system of control. reducing Rus
sia to the level of Turkey in its relation
TO the Allies.
VIII Uphold RapaIIo Treaty.
The Ukrainian delegates said The Boil
shevik would not admit the Allies right
TO force them to annul the Rapallo
treaty with Germany. Other nations
had concluded treaties - Jugo- -Slavia,
Rumania and others-why should not
Russia or Germany have the same right?
The Russian memorandum contained,
he added. a report by great Russian
economist proving that 1t would be i'm
possible for Russia to accept the bur-
den the experts proposed to lay upon
her.
The Soviet delegates are receiving
protests from anarchits in regard 10
the Imprisonment of anarchists by the
Bolshevihi in Russia. One such pro-
test has come from Communist group
called the Chicago martyrs" affiliated
with the Italian Anarchist Union. Att
other has been filed by the Russian
Anarchist Syndcalist Federation III
Rome.
Representatives of The International
Federation OF Trade Unions and Labor
lists. under Albert Thomas, director OF
the labor bureau.of the League OF Ma
tions. also have grievance against tne
Bolsheviki for the imprisonment OF
Socialists. Edo Fimmen, secretary OF
the federation, is violently opposed TO
the Red Internationale.
Anarchists Against Lenfne.
The anarchists are angry with Lenine
particularly for his detention of great
numbers OF Russian anarchists. social
revolutlonaries. Mensheviki and other
Such is the intensity of feeling here
that before the conference is over
Messrs. Tchitcherin. Litvinoff. Joffe and
Krassine may be glad they are guarded
by 400 italian soldiers.
The Husndnitd Nova, an Italian an
archist organ. Is busy denouncing Le-
nine In language as strong as that which
ii used in speaking OF the Car ten
years ago. To-day's issue says:
4srst.
fllckered out, and W. see nothing but
smoke The revolution has stopped Oh
a route that might have been glorious
and have led Toward liberty and justice.
A new despothm has arisen in Moscow
A great enemy to individualism ami
liberty has COME into existence, and is
now grinding down the Russian people
under It's terrible laws of repression.
Now that representatives OF this
Government have met Mt Genoa with
representatives OF the bourgeois gov
ernments " talk about peace and re
construction, we protest: and we de-
mand that our companions shut UP In
Russian prisons be set at liberty. The
new Government Is az tyrannical and
despotic as tho Government 1t over
threw"
Several anarchist newspapers speak
OF making q great protest and demon
stratio on Nav |. The italian troops
in Rapallo may have TO be reinforced
on that date for the protection Of Italys
Bolshevist guests.
GENOA, April 20 (Associated Prcss) -
Albert Thomas, director OF the Inter-
national Labor Bureau, has submitted to
the economic conference a resolution
adopted BY the international Cooperative
Alliance. comprising 25.000.000 families
OF all countries. which declares that the
Genoa Conference is proof that politics
having failed, the reconstruction OF the
world can only be reached through eco
nomic measures OF an international
character.
The resolution urges the concession of
credits to countries whose economics and
production have been damaged by rea-
son OF the war. and proposes the for
nation OF a world organism. which, taxi
ing the place OF both creditors and debt
ors. should insure punctuality In the
