Clear Economic De.
mands.

ROME, April 4.-Russia will insist
upon complete recognition at the Genoa
conference, according to a statement
made today by Vatslav Vorovsky, a
member of the Russian delegation, who
is in Rome. In an exclusive interview
Vorovsky said:
"If the allied governments decide at
Genoa to enter Russia with credits they
will have to recognize the Soviet govern
ment.
mo one Of US expects much from the
Genoa conference, however. The most
we hope for is agreement for other con-
ference Of trade experts for discussion
of programs.
but to tell the truth we are no
longer worrying very much about the
trade agreements, because we are al
ready trading with nearly every country
in Europe.
1--WE do not expect hostility from Italy
in the Genoa conference and we believe
that if Italy had only herself to consider
she would recognize the Moscow gov
eminent, but Italy probably will have tc
follow the lead Of her ally, France.
The whole matter eventually will re-
solve itself into the necessity OF com
mercial arrangements between Russia
and the governments of other nations
The solution is through friendly entente
! through which credits and recognition oil
