Genoa. May 11.-tBy the A. F. P.l-Rus- sfa's reply Co the allied memorandum, which was presented today to Signor Schanzer. president of the economic con ference. Is regarded as concIliatOry. At least it i4 considered a basis for further negotiations.
 irs suggestion that all the tangled fin- sn.ial prbiems be submitted to a mixed ,,rini.ttef of experts named by the Genoa conference provides means of escape from the present superheated atmosphere, which appears Co be unfa,sorable for the settlement Of tie myriad questions aris- ing from the Russian situation.
 England regards the reply as moderate iy concil.a.ory: so also does Italy.

 France expressed great disappointment at inc rerly and Belgium is far from sat- Isaed.
