GENOA, May 1.-THE United States
has been invited to share the task OF
reaching an agreement with the Rus
SLAMS on Premier Lloyd Georges inh
tiative. After an all day meeting al
Mr.. Lloyd Georges villa the inviting
Powers to this conference decided to
postpone the task of negotiating with
the Russians until June Is, when
mixed commissions Of allied experts
will meet at The Hague, to which
meeting the United States has been
asked to participate.
According to the plan the Russians
are not to be represented at the early
meetings until June &c, when an cf-
fort will be made to include them.
These commissions are to confer for
period not to exceed three months.
Anxiety over u. S. Reply.
Overshadowing all the bitter
trouble making combinations which
seemed imminent here is the anxiety
to learn what tho United States will
answer. II is frankly hoped. and 1t
is believed, that the invitation hiss
been couched in terms that will make
1t clear that The Hague meeting will
be shorn OF those political character
istics which Secretary Hughes as
signed as the reason for refusing to
attend the Genoa conference.
The Importance Of American par
ticipation is vital for the following
reasons which have not yet appeared
on the surface at Genoa: The Rus
slams say they cannot settle without
a very much larger loan than the
Allies memorandum offered. They
have argued that they need nearly
Sc, 900 100000 for reconstruction. and
they are now intimating that they
cannot accept less than $1,000, 000, 900.
There is no such sum in any Euro
pean pocket, and this more and more
is being given as the real reason why
Mr.. Lloyd George and Foreign Min
lister Schanzer Of Italy failed to in
duce Tchitcherin to make a reason
able answer to the allied memoran.

French and British Differ.
Despite the optimistic British an
rouncement by Sir Edward Griggs
that everything is settled" there
are substantial differences tonight
between his account of the agreement
for meeting at The Hague and
that from French sources.
While Barthou seems to have as.
sured the British OF his acceptance
of Premier Lloyd Georges proposals
there is a wide difference between the
French and British accounts of what
both the proposals and the accept.
ance mean.
Barthou's acceptance means
merely that he will recommend the
acceptance to Paris IL the Bolsheviki
delegates accept, and there is every
indication tonight that the Bolshe.
Wiki delegates will not accept IL, as
the French plan, the commissions of
western Powers, In which IL is hoped
the United States will be included,

not get in touch with the Russians
until June &c.
British Explanation vague.
Sir Edward GrigEs in his descrip-
ton OF the proposed Hague machinery
spoke Of panels of experts and then
added: "Of course. we won't do any
thing unless VIC sit with the Rus
SLAMS" but he failed to make clear in
his response to several questions Just
whether there were to be two panels.
aud if so how they would be brought
together. IT is just such differences

that caused the worst Anglo French

promise a certain liveliness.
