Genoa. April 2S.-Vice Premier

last night over the long distance tele-
phone with Premier Poincare in Paris

afternoon that the official viewpoint

attitude OF the French delegation here
and that of the government IN Farls
especially toward the Russian Ques-
ton and it was announced that M
Rarthou had asked permission to 60
to Paris for a day or two 10 consult
the premier. 1t was said this evening,
however. that whether NJ. Barthou
would proceed to Paris for the con-
sultatiou depended largely upon the
outcome of today's discussion or the
Russian question here
At this afternoons meeting OF the
subcommission on Russia. France and
Great Britain were to present drafts
of a reply It was understood the
French draft was more rigid in its
terms than the British.
NJ. Barthou. however, wishes to re-
view with Premier POincare the entire
general situation. and it was pointed
out that If he went to Paris tonight or
tomorrow he could return for the
plenary session of the conference now
scheduled. for Tuesday or Wednesday
next TO hear the reports of the sub
commissions on finance and transpor-
tation.
N. Barthou. it is declared. has had
to do a lot of explaining with regard
to Premier Poincare's Barbecue ad-
dress. which created the impression
here that France had determined to
20 it alone. That tended to increase
the feeling that France was isolating
herself from Europe.
Definite currents of Cancellation,
meanwhile. seem TO be forming here
in Genoa. as an outgrowth of candid,
hoart-to-heart talks among delegates
from all the countries on the Euro
pean continent.
