Refusal Of U. S. to Enter the
Genoa Economic Conference
Was Not Surprise to Some. |
GREAT BRITAlN'S PLANS
HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED
Russia Holds Out Great Hope
For the Future as Result of
Econ omiC Conference.

LONDON, March 81. n. So
Keen disappointment was expressed
in official circles over the refusal of
the United States to participate active
ly in the international conference at
Genoa next month. The attitude of
the United States is not completely
unexpected. The officials, however
expressed surprise over the reasons
given by the American state depart
ment for not participating in the con-
ference. They declared the confer
ence was called to adjust conditions
of which the United States COM
planned.
WASHINGTON, March ga. P)
The refusal of the United States to
participate In the Genoa economic
rehabilitation of Eprope, said high
official of the American government.
1t should not be regarded, he said, as
an indication of the United States de-
sire to hold aloof from the grave
problems confronting Europe.
LONDON, March ga. PD-
Great Britain's plans for the Genoa
conference were not affected by the
United States refusal to attend The
British believe the other nations invit-
ed will participate.
MOSCOW, March 9.-U. P)-All
classes in Russia except the great mass
of ignorant peasantry. look forward
to the Genoa conference as the first
step towards a reunion with the out
side world. Merchants, college pro-
fessors, army and newspaper men all
see in the approaching conclave a re-
lea. e from the isolation imposed on
Russia since 1917, They regard better
times as approaching, according to a
Russian dispatch today to the United
Press from Edwin Hullinger, Moscow
correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March Cd. \
S)-The Genoa economic conference
may be postponed or called off alto
gether as result of the somewhat
curt refusal of the United States tc
participate, according to views eX'
pressed privately in official and diplo
matte circles.
While they expected the United
States would refuse to take part, there
. was no expectation that the American
note would throw so much cold wate'
on the whole proposition.

S|NGH-0LS0N MATCH
IS SCHEDULED FOR
TOMORROW AT ALTA
Affair is Being Handled by
City Boxing Commission
and Should Be Thriller.

Bassanta Singh, the Hindu, and
Charlie Olson, middleweight wrestling
champion of Canada, will meet In
their second match here tomorrow
night at the Alta theatre. The contest
is being handled by the City Boxing
commission All profits derived from
the contest will go toward a city in
digent fund, according to members OF
the commission.
Pendleton Is considered lucky in
having the opportunity of seeing these
two wrestlers In action again as their
services are in great demand Offers
have been received by both for bouts
In La Grande, Walla Walla and other
cities. Singh Is scheduled to meet
Oscar Butler, Portland middleweight
wrestler, next Tuesday night in Port
land. Singh and Butler recently
wrestled two hours to n draw This is
significant as Butler has never been
defeated by u middleweight wrestler.
Olson, who won the last match here
last Friday night, Is considered one of
the best In his class. Both men are
fast and aggressive and a good match
is promised.
The commission are arranging four
good preliminaries. They hope to
make the card entirely wrestling but
may have one or two matches of box
ing in case they are unable to find
good wrestling material.
The City Commission, who have
been vanity looking for reliable pro-
moter for the last week, are handling
this affair themselves. They gain
nothing for themselves but hope to
make the sport stronger in Pendleton.
