Delegates'Train Darkcned

RIGA, March 20 BY The Associated
members Of the Russian Soviet deega-
ton to the Genoa conference, headed
by George Tchitcherin, the Bolshevik
Foreign Minister which arrived here
this morning The Russians immedi-
ately began making arrangements for
the next leg Of their journey TO Italy,
which will take them across the Lith-
uania-Polish corridor into Germany
and then to Italy, where they are hope
full of realization of some of the
Soviet's aims for the future.
The first day spent by the delegates
on foreign soil was a most interesting
one, for some of them had not been
outside Russia for years. Their pro-
gram was a large one. 1t included ap-
pontments which took up all Of the
morning; then there were luncheons,
visits to the Baltic conference, social
functions, the receiving of callers or
the dodging of them, and the giving of
Interviews to the newspaper CORE
spondents. The well-trained secreta-
lies accompanying the delegation
handled their end of the program to
perfection.
The Soviet party. IN addition to NJ,
Tchitcherin, consists of Maxim Litvi-
noff. chief Of Soviet legations abroad;
Adolph Jotfe; M. NorovsKy, Soviet rep
resentative in Rome; Christian Rakov-
sky, president OF the Ukraine Soviet
government; NJ Midivanl; NJ. Marina

1t was said by some of the Soviet
delegates to-day that Nikolai Lenine
may yet go to Genoa If he feels better
than at present, and if it is decided
that his presence at the conference is
necessary.

ports having gained circulation of

it up.

All the Soviet delegates wear a red

noticeable this morning that. most of
the members of the delegation had on

Tax Relief for l.. S.
Miners in Mexico
Speeds Recognition
Action Is a Result of Par
leys Looking to Signing
of Treaty Binding Repub-
lie TO Firm Guarantees

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 29.--Out Of
the conversations now in progress be
tween American Charge d'Afaires
George T. Summerin, at Mexico City
and Alberto Pani, Minister of Foreign
Affairs of the Mexican government, e
solution of some of the problems .hat
have prevented the extension of recog-
milton by the United States may re-
suit, it was officially indicated to-day.
The Summertime PAM negotiations are
"going on all the time one Admins
tration official said, in indicating that
q serious attempt is being made by both
governments to iron out their differ
ences.
The developments thus far. however
DO not warrant an announcement by
this government on the extent to which
Mexico is willing TO meet the American
guarantees as outlined during the early
days of the Harding Administration.
1T is known, however, that the negotia-
tions have got beyond mere procedure
and that questions of principles are
being discussed.
The Admjnstrati takes the posi-
ton that extension Of recognition with
out complete and definite understand
ing by Mexico Of her obligations may
tend to make the relations between the
two governments temporary, whereas
permenant solution of all the problems
in the shape of a treaty is held to be
most desira bile.
The State Department TODAY an
nounced the passage by the Mexican
government Of decree relieving own
ers of mining property there from the
payment of penalties arising out of
failure to pay taxes on these proper
ties during the recently disturbed con-
ditions in Mexico. Its issuance has
been informally sought by the United
States forsome time. -
This action by the Mexican govern
ment is one of a series of agreements
reached by the two governments in
their efforts to resume cordial rela-
tlons. Several months ago the State
Department lifted the passport restric-
tlons on the border, which extends to
MeXlcans the privilege of coming into
the United States without interference
A short time later the embargo on arms
into Mexico was lifted, which enables
the shipment Of small arms into Mexico
from this country. These two actions
now have been followed by Mexico
officially decreeing that relief from
taxation is to be granted to American
owners of mining property
