GERMANY ACCEPTS
ALLIES PROGRAM
NOTE IN REPLY TO uLTiMATuM
NOW READY FOR DELIVERY
- ITALIAN GOVERNMENT
Conditions as Imposed by the Allles
Are Acceptable to the German
Delegation at the Genoa
Conference

Genva.--The German reply 70 the
allied ultlmatum accepts the condition
that the German delegates be barred
from participating In the further dis
cussions Of the Russian question by
the Genoa conference, the Russo
German treaty signed at Rapallo be.
ing allowed to stand.
The German note 10 longer than that
from the allies. and begins by ack-
nowledglng with painful SURPRISE
the protest received, which is consld.
cred undeserved. The note then re-
penis what DIR. Rathenau, German
foreign minister. has stated on sew
eral occasions-that negotiations for
the conclusion of the Russo German
treaty had begun long ago, were
known to have been in progress by all
the European governments and had
lately been suspended out OF defer
ence TO the conference.
But the exclusion OF Germany from
the negotiations held by the allies
with the Russians at tho villa de Al.
ertis gave TO the German delegation
he impression that the allies were
trying TO conclude arrangements VITA
the soviet government without Ger
man participation. perhaps to Ter.
many's detriment.
AT certain moment. perhaps
through Misunderstanding. the Ter.
man delegation received the impress.
sion that the allies were about 10
conclude I'M agreement with the Rus.
slams. therefore the Russo German
negotiations were resumed. and re-
suited In the signing OF the treaty ut
Rapallo Easter Sunday.
The German delegation believes
that this treaty does not violate the
spirit Of the conference. and indeed
contributes TO its supreme aim-paci.
tcation OF the world and the re .on.
struction OF Europe.
The n0tet admits that, after the
conclusion OF this treaty, the Germun
delegation has no reason to participate
n the work Of the first cofftiiission,
dealing with Russian affairs, but says
II Will willingly participate In the
other work of the same commission
dealing with European and German In.
forests.
The delay In delivering the note wns
due chiefly TO differences OF opinion
among the Germans themselves as 10
the best attitude to take. some fear.
ing the repercussion It might have In
French quarters. as the French dele
gates had kept themselves severely
aloof during the whole Incident. The
stntsmsnt made by Premier Lloyd
George OF Great Britain before the
Journalists at the meeting in the royal
palace. however. was interpreted TO
mean that France was in perfect
agreement with the other allies.

ate Republicans in party conference
The vote was 80 to o ON motion
onered by Senator Lenroot. RepublI.

The conference resolution, as made
public. follows
III Is the sense of this conference
that the senate should at this ses.
SION pass soldiers bonus bill and
that the Republican members of the
finance committee be requested In
report such a bill within a reasonable
time"
Inc conference also decreed that
the senate should proceed 10 the con.

uouslv.
There was some discussion as 10
the form the bonus bill should take,
but with divergent views developlnr.
no effort was made to reach a deei
sion. This will be left to finance com
mittee Republicans, majority of
whom Is reported to favor the house
bill with possible elimination or
amendment Of the land settlement
option.
Chairman McCumber OF the finance
committee was due to return here late
wednesday or early Thursday TO
take charge Of the tariff bill ON tho
floor. He is anxious to get the bonus
bill before the senate and ia expected
to call the committee majority to-
gether to discuss the measure soon
after his arrival.
Decision of the conference to press
the tariff bill without delay is in
line with the expressed desire OF
President Harding that this measure
be put ahead of the bonus. With o
long fight over the tariff In prospect,
however, that bill, under announced
plans of Senator McCumber, would be
laid aside temporarily for SENATE CON
sideration Of the bonus.
The senate Republicans OF the ag-
ricultural bloc have been called to
meet, TO discuss rates In the tariff
bill which are not quitet as high as
they had requested the finance com
mlttee majority TO write. Senator
Gooding of Idaho, chairman of the
bloc. said he did not think an effort
would be made to reach decision
on American valuation. The bloc has
presented only such questions as II
was unit on and Senator GOoding
said there was some division over
American valuation.
