RurthOu Demands ActiOn:

GENOA, April 10 by The Associated
Press ss).-Louis Barthou, representing
France, said in the course of his ad-
dress to the conference:
Il bring TO this conference, from
which may result n new orientaton for
the world, the considered views and

Lloyd George at the Cannes Confer

gave him immediate adhesion. and if
she did make request for adjourn

usefully employed-she only did so

GENOA. April 10 CBy The Associated
Press Premier Facta Of Italy, in
opening the Genoa conference, said it
was an international humane organiza-
tlon which had met to remedy all the
evils from which Europe was suffering,
"There are no longer enemies and
friends" he continued; there are
neither vlctors nor Vanqulshed. There
are only men of one nation and another
who wish to unite all their energies to
reach together very noble end. We
must first rc-establsh peaceful rcla-
tions between the nations, that they
may coordinate their national ener-
gies. which have been entirely destroyed
by the war. We must also study the
whole series of economic and financial
problems, and you may rest assured
that Italy will carry out any resolution
likely to guarantee lasting peace and
stability among the nations"
AT Washington we saw the dark
cloud of the Pacific vanish. At Genoa
we must work for the peace OF Europe.
SO far as the economic aspect is con-
cerned Italy is ready to remove all OBJ
stacles which are putting hindrances in
the way Of development Of commerce
by a policy Of prohlpl1lon or protec-
ton
LAS regards financial questions italy
will appreciate any solution calculated
to reduce the imitation OF paper money,
to stabilize exchanges and to make pos
sible the collaboration Of the stronger
states with the weaker. The intcrna-
tional community can be saved only if
independence, autonomy and severe gn-
ty are equally guaranteed to the vari-
Gus states. Without that it would be
vain to hope for reconstruction and
the resumption Of normal commerce.
at is therefore under the shield Of
the principles of equity, justice and
solidarity between the nations that this
conference is opening"

Russia and Turkey.

Evidently sharp and dangerous
corner has been turned at the Lau.
same conference between the powers
on the near eastern problem. The
Turkish nationalist government has
declined to be guided and In policy
controlled by the Russian soviet in re.
spect to the freedom Of the straits,
and thus difficult obstacle to settle
ment has been overcome. For time
it looked as though the influence OF
Russia would dominate the Angora
government. Ar. alliance between the
two has heretofore been effected in a
treaty. But 1t has remained for the
western powers to recognize that
treaty. and their refusal to 90 so has
faced Turkey with the necessity Of
choosing between isolation with Rus
sia and acknowledgment by the powers.
Evidently Kemal Pasha and his asso-
ciates have realized that the allied
powers are more essential to the new
Turkey than the bo,sheviks. Yet there
are in Russian Turkestan 100000
Turks who consequently are, as one Of
the Turkish correspondents wires to
his Constantinopie paper. to-day ruled
by an iron hand under the blight Of
bolshevism.'
Anxiety to settle the straits problem
in a way to give the greatest assur.
ance Of near eastern peace has led the
powers represented at Lausanne to in.
sist that there should be no such recog-
milton Of the Russian soviet as to give
the Moscow government any claim
upon the straits. or any lien upon the
favor Of Turkey. The stabilizntton Of
Turkey and the settlement Of the
status Of the Ansora government in
Europe present difficulties grave
enough without the addition Of the So
Wet question. Eventually Russia must
be dealt with by the powers. From
time to time soviet representatives are
admitted into conferences, as at Genoa
and at Lausanne. but save for the

the Implications and overlapptnss, the
Wasteful lack OF concentration, the

hoped that one CT the first steps Of
postwar reorganization would be the
clearing up Of these complexities and
the adoption Of i consistent plan Of

y comprehensive measure has been
prepared to this end. Differences OF
opinions have arisen on various points.
with some jealousies Of departmental

is a problem that G large business Or

The saving Of one million dollars in

would get better service. Retention
