STRIKERS OPENLY DEFY PROCLAMATION
IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH AN AGREEMENT
WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF SOVIETS

The Hague, July 12.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The morning session
Of the conference on Russian affairs,
which was devoted to the considera-
tion Of the private property question
broke up among considerable confu
sion, many OF the delegates declaring
that the Russian replies meant the
defeat of The Hague conference was
inevitable.
Final action had not been taken up
to o'clock this afternoon, however.
Cause of Trouble
THE HAGUE, July. 12.-(By the
Associated Press )-The conference
with the representatives of Soviet
Russia here broke down at l o clock
this afternoon. without apparent hope
of further meeting. Maxim Litvinoff
of the Russian delegation, said, on
leaving the conference, that further
meetings were unlikely. as the nom
Russians insisted on Russians making
promise with regard to property COM
pensation and giving guarantees
which were impossible until the Rus
slams knew what credit and loans
would be granted.
NJ. Litvinoff added that the peace
pact would hold for one month after
the last meeting.
President Patyn. after hearing the
Russian statement relating to confis'
Gated property said no further pur-
pose could be served by further meet
ings.
Sir Phillip Greame said would con-
suit his colleagues relative to the
question of whether further good
could result from a further meet
ing.
A meeting of the committee on
debts was set for this evening.
President Patyn, in the meeting at
1 o'clock said no further good could
be served and brought the meeting
to a sudden close after Sir Lloyd
Greame and other members of the
conference unsuccessfully tried to get
Maxim Litvinoff and other Russians
to answer questions deemed inimical
to the success of the conference.
The questions related to the new
regime in Russia and the probable
time it would take to rebuild the
country.
Just as at the previous conference
the bone OF contention was the same
and the Russians and non-Russians
appeared to be no nearer solution
of the problem that wrecked that con-
ference.
