ROME, April 1.-Foreign Minister
SchanZer plans to arrive at Genoa
April s, two days before the open
ing of the economic conference. There
will be a meeting of the allied dele
gates April 9, at which the attitude
to be followed during the entire con-
ference will be agreed upon.
Final preparations for the gather
ing are going on feverishly. An
army of workmen is busily engaged
putting the finishing touches on the
chamber where the statesmen will
gather.
All the delegations. numbering with
those of the British dominions, thirty
five, are to be guests of the Italian
government. and most of the hotels
at Genoa and many hotels and villas
around the city, some of them as far
distant as twenty miles. have been
requisitioned or rented for their use.

thousand carabiners have been dis
patched from Rome to Genoa while
other thousands of detectives and
royal guards will be concentrated

All parties have agreed to do
everything in their power to render
the soiourn of the delegates most
pleasant and to prevent disorders.
Former Deputy Giulietti has pledged
for the seamen. Deputy Celesia for
