BERLIN, February 11.-If the
United States is not to be- repre-
sented at the Genoa conference.
much of Germanys hope in the
gathering dies.
America would have an amelio-
rating influence at the conference.
The discussions would be on
broader planes and the conclusions
reached might accomplish some-
thing toward the restoration OF
peace and the reconstruction OF
Europe.
With England and France in
their present temper. 1t IS dilncuit
to see how much can pc accom-
plished without the influential IN
teryention of power like the
United States.
France Threatens Conference.
France even now Is threatening
to wreck the conference and may
succeed IA doing SO II the United
States holds aloof. 1t was hoped
by the better elements In Germany
that the United States might see
in the Genoa conference q chance
for underworld service. for as
have said before. European con-
terence of the scope planned for
Genoa, with Germany and the Rus
sian soviets attending, has
meaning for America as well as
for the distracted countries ana
peoples of Europe.
Europe needs the common sense
of America in her counctlsI The
Washington conference was able
to accomplish much for the tram
uuillity Of affairs in the far east
only because Of the American In
fiuence.
On the other hand, America
needs Europe. She must have an
outlet for her excess goods.
1t was thought here that new
order in the far east would be the
price of American cooperation IN
healing Europes sufferings.
Russia Pivotal Point.
It has been thought here that
the gigantic problem of Russia
might bring the United States to
Genoa-Russia. which has so long
been treated like a mere epidemic,
with quarantine and disinfection:
For Russia is one of the CHIEF
problems Of the world economic
situation. 1t would make a vast Diff

PARIS, February 1.-THE news
that the United States will not par
ticipate in the Genoa conference has
ready complicated matter. and no one
now believes that the conference will
meet March as planned.
This, affair Is the best illustration
of the inextricable misunderstanding
caused by recent interallied meet
ings.
Former Premier BRAND declares
that when he left Cannes for Paris
to resign the Genoa program was un-
determinde. and hence the invitations
to the powers to participate should
not have been sent without furtner
conference. But Signor Bonomi, who
also has resigned, sent the invitations
Immediately, together with q program
which BRAND claims was purely ten
tative.
Declared Dangerous Purpose.
This program contains the danger
ously vague phrase:
1.-The establishment OF the european
peace on firm bases. :.
Either this means nothing, or II
means that the treaties of 1919 are
null and void
1t is true another article on the
Genoa program insists that those
treaties must be respected. but this
leaves contradiction which the
French government rightly wants
dissipated before proceeding further
to commit itself to the conference.
But another big obstacle arises
The Genoa conference is being de-
Tended on the ground Of the need Tor
solidarity in the worlds economic
reconstruction. But on the one nano
south America is omitted. and that
means many important trading ma
tions have been left out completeiy
On the other hand, we learn tnat
North America, while approving the
principle of the Genoa conference
will not participate.

LONDON, February 11.-Mr. Balfour
and his colleagues of the British dele
cation to America are nearing their
home shores today, and the Wash
ington conference has passed into his
tory. Its decisions will, in due course
Of time. be dealt with by the United
States Senate and by the various
ratifying authorities of the partlci-
pating states.
In it's recommendations as well as
in the motives which inspired It, the
Washington conference has revived
hopes Of real peace and world set
tlement 1t is true that many in Eu-
rope would rather have had the con-
ference convokea py an ail-embracing
league Of nations, and most of us still
hope for such a conference In the fu-

Regarding the first of these it is true
that it relegates England to position
inferior to that which many Of our
people had come to regard as hers by
prescriptive right. 1t has been tradi-
tional with US that Britannia should
rule the waves" And in truth Britain
! has policed the seas. But all of that
| was a condition of things inconsistent
with the growth Of American wealth
and population.
We shall welcome the cooperation OF
| the United States in carrying out task
! which had become heavy to bear. and
we are confident that the navies OF
| England and the United States will
| work hand in hand, not only for the
interests of the of the respective
countries. but for the right Of all
nations to legitimate freedom Of the
seas. And the new ALLEGATION of sea-
power brings an immediate relief from
