peetcd to arrive at Genoa next Tuesday
Tor Wednesday.
Karl Bergsnann. the German delegate
70 the Allied Reparations Commission
arrived here to-day.
Conditions in the Saar Valley, CON
troll of which was awarded to France by
the Treaty of Versailles, are to be
called to the attention of the economic
conference by delegation composed
OF prominent financial and other resi-
dents Of the Sasr Il is reported. The
French occupation. the deputation will
declare, has caused q grave situation.
IL also will present numerous formid-
able accusations against the French
troops
Delegates from several countries
represented at The conference remarked
informally to-day upon what seemed to
.le5n a changed atts.dde on the part
of France toward Russia,
They declared that Barthou appeared
20 be specially cordial and conciliatory
in his manner toward Tchitcherin, lead
or of the Russian group. in public
meetings. They interpreted this IA in
dica;ing that France is now disposed
to go a far as possible toward reach
ing an understanding with Russia.
Russia Resents Control
Another remark by a leading repre-
sentative was that Russia doubtless
VIII oppose any attempt OF the con-
ference 10 impose Europes will upon
her as if she were a helpless child
and that Russia. like China, will bitter
ly oppose any project involving inter
national control or any kind of world
protectorate.
Similarly. it was predicted among
some of the delegates. that Bolshevik
Russia would oppose the international
consortium plan, just as China hither-
% has failed to ratify.the consortium
arranged for her.
"The present Russian idea. as we
gather it, said one chief delegate to-
day. els that she will insist upon ~
RICH. of dealing with individual coun-
tries and not with Europe as a whole.
In other words, she is apt TO maintain
that blanket dealings with Europe are
tantam cunt to the loss of her sovereign
rights. Moreover. the contemp plat cd
consortium can hardly be effective wiz
out participation by the United States"
The Russian delegation was stag
.gered and amazed at the sweeping
political changes in the Soviet govern
ment suggested in the report Of the
Allied experts.
Blow to Communism Seen
The demand would. in the opinion
Nl INC tSuSslan UeieSdtiOn. wipe out
communism utterly and impair the
sovereignty Of the Russian govern
ment.
Belief was expressed by some dele
gates that the Bolshevik courts would
be one OF the greatest obstacles to
settlement. The European nations. it
was said, would insist upon salts
factory adjustment OF this question
before they would be willing to en-
courage their nationals to go 20 Russia
and engage in trade.
The report submitted by the British
experts insists That there must be a
division Of executive and judicial
authority in Russia before normal rela-
tons with that country are possible;
IN ctner words, that trials shall be
open and in courts so organized that
the judges will be free from executive
pressure and that prisoners are al
lowed proper counsel.
This recommendation strikes at the
Cheka. which the Soviets say they have
abolished TO large extent. While
the Bolsheviki argue that this is an
attempt to interfere with the Russian
political system. the Allied contention
is that the conference is not trying to
interfere with the Soviet regime, but
IS merely stating the terms upon which
Europe would be willing to send her
nationals 70 Russia to engage in trade.
No Cheer in Experts Report
The German delegation appears to be
about as unhappy as the Russian dele
gates over tho London experts report,
and contend that it is highly discrimi-
natory against Germany.
ne report recommends that all fac
tory properties in Russia held bv for
eigners III 1917 shall be restored to
them. German factory properties in
Russia were not held by the Germans,
but were in the hands OF the Russian
government at that time; consequently.
the Germans would not be permitted to
recover them under the report If
adopted as it stands. Nor would Rus
sla be allowed to claim reparations
from other countries, but would be ner-
mitted to collect from Germany. thus
increasing Germany's burden.
Inc Bolshevik delegation, upon fur
tner reading of the London expertn' re-
port are apparently more dissatisfied
than ever with it. One prominent Rus
sian declared: at carries capitula-
tons and tyrannical domination over
finances
