child and Premier L-oyd-Georse
conferred again Thursday evening
concerning the American attitude on
The Hague conference and again
hope was expressed among AN the
delegations that the United States
VIII finally decide Co participate.
After formally adopting the plan
OF The Hague meeting and sOlemnlv
affirming the continuance Of the
truce throughout The Hague dis
cuesions and for four months there
after. the economic conference did
no other business Thursday The
delegations are packing and pre-
pairing 90 lease soon after the Tle-
nary session Friday. which viii be
devoted chiefly 20 experimenting
Interest centers especially tn the

Russians Leave Monday.
The Russian delegation viii not
leave here before Monday. There
are MANY rumors that the sov!ets
may conclude other agreements be-
fore they proceed TO Berlin. Sew
cral members OF the bolshevid dele
cation intend 20 remain in Berlin
until 30 IS time 70 go 20 The Hague
and important developments are
expected fin Russian relations within
The next few weeks.
a review Of the conference shows
that 81 never WAS quite able 20 re-
cover from the shock Of the separate
treaty Germany and Russia con-
Guided on Easter sunday. A col
lcctive agreement with Russia was
one or the great aims of the Genoa
deliberations. and the sudden an
nouncement that Germany had ne
rotiated an agreement alone with
Russia enEendesed suspicious among
tho powers which have never been
removed
Americas absence from Genoa
Increased the difficulties IN obtain
ing Immediate results and Americas
refusal 90 participate i'm The Hague
conference has disappointed those
who expected big things from that
conference
Nevertheless the Genoa conference
has served the gerat purpose OF get
ting 60 countries Of Europe better
Acquainted with one anOther's prom
lens. and has given birth 20 a spirit
OF cancellation. tolerance and under
standing To has been responsible
for The H4guo meeting 10 take mp
concrete Russian matters credits,
debts and property and finally, has
created the military truce for
Europe and Asia
III has. therefore I'm the opinion
of tho great majority here justified
lts existence and 10 people and gov
ernmeuts. rs Mr. Tfoyd-Georce put
70. can only learn On mind their own
business. then 81 IS the belief Of
the delegates that there is hope for
che gradual reconstruCtion OF
Europe. including Russia. and for
that period Of absolute tranquility
which Europe So drely needs.
