Germany, having effected her own ar.

signed Sunday at Rapallo, is debarred
from further participation in the dis
cussion OF the conditions Of agreement
between Russia and the various other
countries represented at the economic
conference.
BY this decision Germany will be
excluded from membership in none.
tary discussions of the conference
Notice embOdying such exclusion wis
sent to the head Of the German dele
cation here.
The treaty was signed by foreign
ministers of the two countries, George
Chltcherln for Russia, and DIR. Walter
Rathenau for Germany. The treaty
nulllfles the BrestIitovsk treaty and
re-established full diplomatic relations
on an equality basis.
The pact cancels all war claims, as
well as claims arising from the ma.
tionaliZation Of property.
Ihe treaty negotiations began many
months ago. 1t was said.
This action by delegates TO the &c
noa economic conference. in meeting
independently and negotiating a treaty
outside the scope Of the conference
itself, is pointed to as establishing Il
striking precedent for the nations

sion of the Russian problem here

claims and war claims the treaty ex-
pressed the friendly hope that other
powers would do likewise.

GENOA CRISIS LITTLE
CONCERNS WASHINGTON
America Maintains "Hands Off" Policy
but Watches Developments
With Interest

Washington.-Alth the Ameri
can government is neglecting no OPP
portunity to inform itself of what is
happening at Genoa officials here be-
tray no anxiety over the latest develop
ments as they affect American inter
eStS
ON the highest authority it was said
Wednesday that in the view of the
administration the new treaty between
Russia and Germany means nothing
to the United States. Unless later in
formation convinces them otherwise,
President Harding and his advisers
were said to accept the treaty at its
face value as financial and peace
settlement without sweeping political
significance.
On the basis of its present advices,
this government is declared to be of
the opinion that nothing in the treaty
conflicts with the separate peace treaty
between the United States and Ger
many, interferes with American inter-
ests in either country. or materially
alters the status situation.
The state department is said to be
firm in its belief that the soviet regime
in Russia should not be recognized, but
it is not disposed to question the right
OF another sovereign power to extend
that recognition. Nor does it apparent
ly expect that recognition by Germany
alone will have any important effect
toward giving bolshevism a real stand
ing in the family of nations.
Meantime, as regards European in
terests and policies, the "hands off"
policy, which actuated the American
refusal to sit in the conference, con-
tinues. Not only in regard to their
political outlook but in regard to the
economic negotiations as WELL high
officials are saying nothing. They in
dictate that they still regard the con-
ference as an effort to straghten out
an economic tangle pre-eminently
European and that they are content
to keep their distance in the conf
dence that the European powers will
meet the situation as best they can.
