British Premier Gives Teu-

Treaty or Withdrawing
SITUATION IS TENSE
Paris Temps Warns Pact is Prepara-
tion for War-BOlsheviki Ready to
Submit Their Answer.

Genoa. April 2O.-Affairs at the
Genoa Economic Conference appear
to be nearing crisis as a result of the
situation arising from the Russo-Ger-
man treaty.
Premier Lloyd George. of Great
Britain, has informed DR.. Wirth, the
German Chancellor, and Dr.. Rattle
nau, the German Foreign Minister,
that there were only two alterna-
tives for the German delegation can
collation. of the agreement with the
Bolsheviki or withdrawal OF the Ger
man representatives from the COM
mission of the conference studying
Russian affairs.
When Lloyd George insisted an
early reply, Dr. Wirth intimated that
Germany would make known its de-
cision today.
The German delegation, while pre-
senting an apparently sollG front IN
the dispute with the Allies, is said
to be divided, one section urging cam
collation. of the treaty with the Soviet
the other preferrinC TO stand firm
and take the consequences.
In Paris, Premier Poincare after a
hurriedly called meeting of the Cabl-
net, sent instructions to the French
delegation at Genoa to demand I'M
mediate annument Of the treaty
French official circles appear to be
thoroughly alarmed over the agree
ment, as it indicated by the Semi-ot-
fetal organ, Temps, which regards
the treaty as preparation for war,
with the Germans and Russians
aligned against the Western powers.
The complete economic absorption Of
Poland is regarded as inevitable II
the treaty is allowed to stand.
The Russian delegation is expected
to submit its reply today to the Allied
demands as exemp!itied in the pro
gram drawn up by the experts IN Lon
don.
Japan. from which little has been
heard since the conference met 10
days ago. is preparing TO make its IN
hucnce felt in the proceedings, espec-
tally where Russia is concerned. a
member Of the Nipponese delegation
is quoted by a correspondent as say
ing that Japan will side with France
against effort Of the British or any
other power to inject the land disar-
mament question into the discussions.
Japan also will object to any move To-
ward having the Siberian question
taken up by the conference, prefer
ring to settle it with the Bolsheviki
Independently.
