ID USSIA'S reply to the proposals OF
IN the allied nations represented at
the Genoa conference, awaited with
greatest anxiety for days, was handed
I'm last Thursday, and proved to be
not a real reply but a long controversi-
al document.
"Wholly unsatisfactory" was the
verdict of the French and Belgians, but
N. Barthou and his colleagues awaited
word from Paris before withdrawing
from the conference.
On the other hand the British,
though far from satisfied with the an
swer of the soviet delegates, professed
to see in IL a chance for further nego-
tiations which might well lead to an
amicable settlement. They called the
Russian note distinctly conciliatory.
Concerning the crucial clauses of the
allied note dealing with the restora-
tion of foreign property confiscated by
the soviets, the Russians made the gen
eral proposition that all financial mat
ters between Russia and the powers be

mission of experts. but they rejected
the proposed mixed commission to de-
termine the payment for nationalized
property because 1t would make the
sovereignty of the Russian state
plaything of chance" Since the other
powers refuse the immense loan the
Russians demanded, the latter with
drew their renunciatiOn Of counter
claims based on allied help given the
various anti-bolshevik leaders.
Lloyd George was hopeful that, If
the financial questions were turned
over to a mixed commission, the con-
ference might be carried along until
his nonaggression pact is made
reality. The Italians are supporting
him, while Japan shows signs Of stand
ing with France and Belgium in de-
manding immediate and definite reply
by Russia.

NAGGED by congress through a
! Y resolution for an investigation Of
Attorney General Daughertys failure
to proceed legally against those who
have been robbing the government in
war contracts, that official made a
report to President Harding in which
he blamed the delay on congress.
The attorney general laid the blame
for failure to prosecute upon congress
and promised an energetic campaign
against war profiteers as soon as nee
eSsary legislation is enacted. He
called for prompt action on the meas
ure creating twenty-three addition
al federal judgeships, the bill estab-
fishing a special grand jury in the
District of Columbia to grind out in
dictments against accused contractors,
and an additional appropriation OF
$5OO,OO0 to enable the department of
Justice to continue its inquiries.
Mr.. Daugherty called attention to
the fact that nearly all the transac-
tions in question took place during
the preceding administration and that
naturally little was done then to bring
them to light. He promised that he
would soon make public the names OF
influential personages who had knowl-
edge of the transactions but were per-
sonally interested in concealing them.
