Lloyd George said he thought tina,
for the Allied experts to meet again
sjalone. as they did st London, before
the Genoa gathering, would be wasted
effort because nothing further could be
accomplished without consultation with
the Russians.
- Such commission as he proposed
the Premier continued could work only
IN a harmonious atmosphere, and there.
s.fore he urged that truce bc estab-
ftshed in Europe on the understanding
that de facto frontiers stand for the
present or until the commissicns g
work was done. Meanwhile. he insist
ed, neither side would carry on any
propaganda, particularly the kind that
was supported and financed by govern
rnents. He said that sharp reply
would have to be made to the Russians
for their refusal to agree TO cease
propaganda.
Adjourned Until Monday
81 Barthou's speech came after Lloyd
George had spoken, and completely
sregatived all that the British Premier
sehad proposed. The discussions did not
.'cnd there, for after Carlo Schanzer,
s.ftalian Foreign Minister and chairman
of the conference, and other delegates
had addressed the commission, adjourn
,rent was taken until Monday. when the
questions will be examined further.
Schanzer in his speech supported
Lloyd Georges program.
- Italy is not prepared 20 refuse the
:. practical suggestions made by the Brit
ish government" he said. Progress
3 has already been made and l see no
reason way the commission proposed
canno. obtain practical results. A rup-
ture would be dangerous internally and
externally. The Russians must be rep
resented on the commission and |
strongly indorse the whole British
scheme"
Premier Bratiano Of Rumania, speak
ing for the Little Entente, proposed a
sort Of compromise between the Brit
sh and French views. although in gen
eral he opposed the British program.
Lloyd George, speaking again, said
that he was extremely anxious to pre-
serve unity among the Western powers
At the conference, but that he must in
sist upon the inclusion of the Russians
on any commission.
Between the morning and the after
noon sessions of the commission Lloyd
George and Barthou had lunch to-
aethsr, and efforts were made to recon
tile their two positions, but without
Sssny apparent success.
Lloyd George Still Hopeful
Critics Of Lloyd George described
+, to-day's meetings of the sub-c ommis
= sion as "thc first hearing Of the in
quest on the Genoa conference" but
The British Premier showed no evil
dence Of discourage,nent as he pre-
=, sented his new proposals. He still be-
y iieves that there is much the confer
cnce can do. and, although be has never
q. fought against greater odds than ne
is contending with here. he seems not
20 understand the possibilities of de-
feat.
1t might almost be said that the
bottom of the ship that Lloyd George
launched with 80 much hope five weeks
ago had fallen out and, although the
f,ulk is still floating, it is going down
rapidly. Captain Lloyd George and First
Mate Schanzer are still at their posts
- but the rudder no longer responds, and
It seems that only miracle will enable
che British leader to bring his craft
INTO port.
GENOA. May l3 (By The Associated
Press).--Premier Lloyd George will
nave conference at his villa to-mor-
row with Baron Hayashi, NJ. Barthou,
"a. Jaspar of Belgium, and Signor
Schanzer in ar effort to reach com
promise on the Russian que stion.
After the meeting of the sub COM
mission to-day Sir Edward Grigg, Sec
retary to tire British Prime Minister,
said there had been progress, but gave
no definite explanation of it's nature
The French and British delegations, he
asserted, were we'll on the road to an
agreement, but nothing definite was
reached. Accounts o. the meeting by
members OF other delegations, however.
give little indication that compromise
- any nearer.
All Want America In
The Russians have announced that
they will not accept any plan excluding
them from the discussions. On one
thing all the delegations agree, the in
yiting powers, the little Entente and
The Baltic Entente, as we'll as the neu-
trails, namely, that somehow tho United
states must be induced to participate
IN the mixed commission.
Nj. Colrat. French Under Secretary
Of State. informed The Associated
Press that he still felt confident Of an
accord. Suggestions have been made
that special comm ssion Of Russian
experts be formed. which may be called
IN by the mixed commission when IL
desires information.
Again the Russians declare that they
will not accept any such plan, as thai
would not be dealing with them on an
/. equality basis, and it is difficult fog
,he delegations TO find any plan appeal
1ng to both the French and British and
= yet not offensive to the Russians. :
Viscount 1shii supported the British
position that the Russians should PAR
:icipate ir the mixed commission He
regarded the task of the Genoa confer
eng as too important to be lightly
abandoned. since it really concerned
the reconstruction not only Of Europe
but the whole world.
