DISSATISFIED
Failure of Delegations to

Ev Associated Press.

by Associated ETess.
GENOA, April 25.-Soviet Russia
contributed another sensation 10 the
economic conference Tuesday by
sending a note 10 the Polish delega-
ton demonstrating against Poland S
action in joining with the allied
powers in protest against a separate
treaty between Russia and Germany.
Russia claimed that the peace treaty
between herself and Poland covers
all relations between the two cOun-
tries so that Poland. like Germany,
should not participate in the discus
sion of Russian affairs, even intimat-
ing that Poland by her present &C
ton in the conference has abrogated
the treaty signed at Riga on March
rs. 1921
Russia has a strong Red army en-
camped near the Polish border and
for this reason the Russian remon-
strances arc regarded by some of the
delegates as equivalent to almost
threat against Poland.
Experts i'm Session.
The experts on the Russian ques-
ton sitting without the soviet dele
gates Tuesday compared notes on
the new proposals presented by the
Russian delegates at Mondays ses-
sion and decided 10 forward their
report 10 their respective govern
ments. 1t is expected that when the
answers are received from the vari-
Gus capitals the powers will submit
counter propositions to the soviet
couched in firm language in an en-
deavor to reach a working basis for
an accord.
We cannot stay here forever"
said a French delegate Tuesday
night.
The French are disturbed over the
manner in which the English have
interpreted Premier Poincare's ad-
dress. The French spokesman made
II clear that all Frenchmen are
alarmed over future military posi-
bilities of the Russo German treaty
and that NJ. POincare was merely
voicing Frances genuine disquI-
etude. There are certain indications
here that France with her dwindling
population is fearful of the con-
stantly increasing German popula-
ton united with mighty Russia. The
French attitude toward Russia is
described as like that OF Japan to-
ward China-each wants an organ
lied and prosperous neighbOr. but
does not desire that that neighbor
be so strong as to loom up as pos
sible menace.
The road between Genoa and Ra-
palo continues TO be guarded by the
police, who fear for the safety OF
the Russian delegation. All motor
lists are liable TO be asked TO give
an account of themselves.
The latest victim was Chancellor
Wirth OF Germany While he was
riding along this road a Gardiner
ordered him to malt. but since nei-
Their DIR Wirth nor his chauffeur
spoke Italian and the Gardiner
spoke no German. the chancelloi
was invited TO make his explanations
at a police station. The police COM
missioner was profuse in apologies
but Dr. Wirth cut him short, say
ing the carabineer had done no more
lhan his duty.
