FOR PARLEY ON
RAPALLO TREATY
Formal Report on Action Of All:
les to Be Made by Com.
mittee Tonight

GENOA, April 19-(By The AS
sociated Pressl-Dr. Walten
Rathenau. German head, conferrt
ed with Lloyd George and Premier
Chitcherin OF Russia today on the
barring of the Germans from the
Russians committee.
A formal report will probably
be submitted 10 the committee to.
night on the subject.
Many other informal conferen-
ces were held with legal experts of
the various delegations in an
effort to bring out the exact scope
OF the entente note.
The expected demand from
Germany for a discussion will
prove a mortal blow to the confer
ence, 1t is declared in a French
communique issued today, dealing
with the Russo-German treaty and
the attitude OF the allies in con-
siderlug Germany eliminated from
further discussions OF the Russian
affairs.
The communique says that for
the first time since the signing OF
the Versailles treaty the world
sees that names of the representa-.
tlves OF nine powers making up an
entente affixed TO a document
which protests German conduct.
The communique insists that
the dragging Of the controversy
into the full session OF the confer
ence would bring about situation
which Europe wishes 10 avoid,
namely the calling up OF new polt-
tlcal groups, one against the
other. 1t refers TO the signing
OF the Russo-German treaty as "a
manifestation of the Bismarckian
spirit which caused the allied bloc
Immediately to affirm its unity"
A MonteneEran delegate asked
70 be admitted to the conference.
The ground for the petition was
the decision of the allied supreme
council in January 1913, recogniz-
ing the independence Of Monte
