THE GENOA FARLEY ENDS
Fine Crops" Gathered, Lloyd George
Says in Valedictory.

Genoa, May Io.-The Genoa eco
nonlic conference adjourned at IL;
O'Clock this afternoon.
Prime Minister Lloyd George Of
Great Britain in his valedictory
speech to the conference, said the
conference had gathered fine crops,
namely the meeting to be held at The
Hague, the non-aggression pact and
the reports of. the finance, transport
and economic commissions, which he
said alone justified the holding of
the conference.
Mr.. Lloyd George called attention
to the bad effect the Russian memoir
andum had on the world, and warning
the Russians that if they desired Sue
cess at The Hague it would be bet
ter for them not to enter eloquent
presentations OF the doctrine OF re-
pudiation of debts. Such a course
was unwise when one wanted to Dor
row more money, he remarked.
Europe, he said, was anxious 10
help Russia, but Russia must &C
cept the code of honor which Europe
had as an inheritance from centuries
of hard working honest people.
These results must be incorporated
into living practice, howeve:, the pre-
n':er added, in order GO I'D in restor-
ing European vigor and prosperity.
1--WE are not at the end of the
most remarkable conference ever held
in the history of the worid..' ne said.
"rhe Genoa conference will forever
De an inspiring landmark in the path
way of peace"
The British premier warned Rus
sia that Europe was gradually filling
up the gap left by Russia's decline,
trt was sad to see millions OF Rus
SANS in despair and starving.
When a man sells goods, Lloyd
George declared, he expects the buyer
to pay for them; when man lends
money he expects the borrower to re-
pay, and when man asks a second
loan, he must repay the first one.
He argued that "the RYssin tornado"
had not uprooted .l.cse basic laws OF
the worlds business, and declared the
Russian must accept them if they
wished the worlds cooperation.

PRESIDENT TELLS. RAIL
HEADS RATES MUST BE CUT
Discusses Question With 40 Road
Executives at White House.


Washington. May 2o.--Pfesident
Harding Saturday night told 20 rep
rescntatives of the largest railroads
that they must expect considerable
reduction in freight rates on basic
commodities.
The railway executives were guests
OF the executive at dinner. They rep
resented directly or indirectly prac-
tically every transportation system in
the country.
The long expected decision from
tic interstate commerce commission
announcing decreased tariffs on coal,
iron and steel, agricultural products
and other basic materials, expected
Sunday at the last moment, was
withheld. This action was taken. in
order that the president might Sc
cure voluntary pledges from the rail-
way managers for reduced rates.
The executives were told by the
president that the country was only at
tho beginning of rising tide OF pros
pcr;ty that would insure increased
business that would sweep greatly
augmented revenue into the Golfers
OF the railroads.
The present high rates, the presi-
dent said, were the most important
barrier to general business stmula-
tlon and the railway magnates were
asked to cooperate in preparing the
way for complete return to normal
conditions.
The president expressed belief that
ii the railroads reduced rates consid-
erably on basic materials, industry
would Immediately show a healthy
reaction that would mean, in turn, in
creased buying and augmented reve-
nrcs. This, despite the reduction i'll
rates, in the end, would yield as large
Il net revenue as the roads now re-
ceivc under higher tariffs.
