ALLIES PLAN STAND
TO TAKE IN EVENT
GERMANS DETECTION

Genoa, Apr. 26-(By A. PAN
nouncement by the British delega-
ton that a meeting of the signatories
of the Versailles treaty will be held
in Genoa within fortnight to deter
mine upon action in the event OF
Germany's failing to meet her rep
aration obligations at the end of May
was the chief feature of today's
conference activities. This call for q
meeting of the allies was inspired by
Premier Poincare's Bar lie Due adj
dress intimating that France was
prepared to act alone If the allies
failed to support her in enforcing The
treaty.
Poland replied to Russia's protest
charging the Poles with violating
treaties with Russia and seeking TO
undermine Russian sovereignty. The
Polish reply asserted that the Poles
were trying to assist in the recon-
struction of Russia and had no
thought of violating their treaty
agreements with Russia.
While the leading statesmen as
sembled in Genoa were consulting
one another on what kind of a reply
they should make to the Bolshevik
counter proposals and what would be
the probable scope of the non-ag-
erosion pact which it is proposed TO
submit to the conference, the experts
here from many lands were hurry
ing on with their technical wNrk con-
nected with economics, finance and
transport.
The transport commission held a
final session and recommended the
urgency of the powers adopting all
possible measures in concert to i'm
prove the transport system or Eu-
rope. The league of nations was
asked to invite the nations, whether
members or non-membcrs OF the
league, to work together on technl-
cal matters furthe ring the cause OF
transport.
The experts insist that important
things have already been done at
Genoa in the way of improving con-
ditions. These have largely taken
form of arranging for future cohNeH-
tions, but it is pointed out that the
present convention including 81
states has brought about knowledge
OF actual conditions in Europe. which
is certain to prove beneficial for fu-
ture amelioration. Much is expect
ed from the currency and genera
financial meetings which will be held
at London and Paris.
The exact form of Mr.. Lloyd
Georges proposed pact has been the
subject of grave discussions among
the leaders, as they wish to introduce
a measure strong enough to be gen
timely effective in reducing to mihi-
mum the chances of war. The Wash
ington four-power pact is frequently
referred to as an example on which
this project may be based.
