GENOA. April 22--The crisis in the
economic conference, raised today by
the French objection to Germany's
reply to the ten power note, suggest

ing.
The ten power delegates are meet
ing tomorrow to draft this supple
mentary note to the Germans, but it
was not certain tonight whether the
French would agree to this action, as
they are extremely suspicious of the
German document and apparently. the
French delegation at Genoa is being
driven hard by Paris to have it re-
vised. The French also raised OBJ
jections to the voluminous bolshevilli
document which became public yes
terday, in which Russia made a long
reply to the London experts report on
the restoration of Russia.
NJ Barthou said the French could
not sit with the Russian commission
again until this document was dis
cussed. The soviet experts explained
that this document comprised merely
their own arguments and was super

Premier Lloyd George, appeared
much annoyed over the French
bubble. He declared he had only
read three lines of the document,
which had never been officially pre-
scented to the conference and was
patiently part of the normal bolshe-
Wiki propaganda. He also annoupced
that he was getting tired of Crises
which were being foisted upon the
conference TO The great dctriment of
work. and wished to say on behalf Of
the delegations of the British en-
pire that IL these crises and constant
delays continued he would be forced
TO explain who was responsible for
them
The British delegation has not yet
received the protest which the French
government Is reported to have sent
out from Paris 10 the powers sigma
tory to the Versailles treaty in
which France is said to maintain that
the Russo German treaty is in vio-
lation of the Versailles treaty.
When the experts met today to dis
cuss the Russian question, the
French representative explained that
he could not remain, so long as the
misunderstanding created by the
Russian memorandum was not
asserted, was in absolute contradic-
tion to the soviet's answer TO the
allies accepting the allies conditions.
The French delegate then withdrew
from the meeting and the Japanese
did likewise, breaking up the meet
ing. 1t is to smooth out this matter
that the sub commission on Russian
affairs will meet tomorrow. Neither
Russian nor German representative
will attend this meeting, Seven
Russians We're present at t0day's
meeting of experts.
According to an English spokes-
man, the conference as a whole de-
sires to make a collective agreement
with Russia, but if unanimity is inn
possible. it cannot prevent separate
agreements. such as the one already
concluded between Russia and
Germany.
This English representative would
not even contemplate the possibility
that England should conclude an
agreement with Russia in which
France did not participate. Despite
slight differences OF opinion on sew
eral questions, he pointed out, Eng
land and France always ended by
being together in the solving of inn
portant problems. He was convinced
that the Russian delegation is send
ing another letter to the conference
explaining a greater length in what
way the Russian memorandum is
modified by NJ. Tchitchein's reply to
the allied conditions.
