American people, while desirous. as has been
abundanty demonstrated, suitably to assist in the
recovery Of the economic life Of Europe that they
should not unnecessarily become involved in E,u-
ropean political questions
1t may be added, with respect to Russia that
this government, anxious to do all in its power to
promote the welfare of the Russian people, views
with the most eager and friendly interest every
step taken toward the restoration of economic
conditions which will permit Russia to regain her
productive power, but these conditions, in the
view of this government cannot be secured until
adequate action is taken on the part of those
chiefly responsible for Russia's present economic
disorder.
1t is also the view of this government-and
it trusts that this view is shared by the govern
mcnts who have called the conference-that, while
awaiting the establishment of the essential bases
Of productivity in Russia, TO which reference was
made in the public declaration of this government
on March 25, 1921, and without which this gov
crnment believes all consideration of economic
revival to be futile, nothing should be done look
ing to the obtaining OF economic advantages in
Russia which would impair the just opportunities
of others, but that the resources of the Russian
people should be free from such exploitation and
that fair and equal economic opportunity in their
interest, well as in the interest of all powers
should be preserved.
While this government does not believe that
it SHOULD participate in the proposed conference
it sincerely hopes that progress may be made in
preparing the way for the eventual discussion
and settlement of the Fundamental economic and
financial questions relating to European 1ecupera-

Esthonia Brings Story of

The Baltic American liner Esthonia

liant wireless operator, name unknown
Until 10 a. IN. March ., he was an
undistinguished member Of that ad-
venturous company OF youths who
perch on hcaving hurricane decks the
world around with receivers. clamped
to their heads, while their icsts and
gossip ride the ether waves. His BODY,
with those of the nineteen others
aboard The Grontoft, has an unmarked
grave about 700 miles of Cape Race,
but while the wireless bears tidings
of tragedy and heroism across the seas
his name will be remembered by the
craft and the manner Of his death
One of the herccst gales Of fero-
cious winter was lashing the Atlantic,
burying mighty liners beneath moun

call for help was sent in stereotyped

quire, the position of the Grontoft,
which was forty-eight miles northeast
Of the E,sthonia, almost in the wind g

When he reached the end Of the form,

right on talking, however, starting a

He paused, and above the gale the

Of Hanson that the message had been

EXcelency
have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
OF Your EXcellcncys note transmitting the invita-
ton addressed by the Italian government to the
government of the United States to take part in
an economic and inanciap conference, to be
convened at Genoa, pursuant to the resolution
adopted on January 6, 1922 by the Allied govern
mcnts IN conference at Cannes
! have also received your later notes with re-
spect to American representation, the proposed
agenda and the postponenent of the date of the
conference.
Since the receipt of Your Excellencys first
note the question of American participation in
the proposed conference has had the most earnest
attention. | am that you will realize that
the government Of the United States must take
deep interest i'll any conference which holds
promise or effective measures to promote the
nomic rehabilitation Of Europe since not only DO
we keenly desire the return of prosperity to the
peoples who have suffered most severely from the
wastes and disocatons of war, but it is also
manifest that there can be no improvement in
world conditions in the absence of European
recupcraton. 1t is with this sympathetic spirit,
and with the utmost reluctance to withhold it's
support from any appropriate effort to attain
this object, that the government Of the United
States has examined the resolution adopted at
Cannes and the suggested agenda for the con-
ference.
regret to inform Your EXcellency that as
result of this examination, it has been found
impossible to escape the conclusion that the pro-
posed conference is not primarily an economic
conference, as questions appear TO have been
excluded from consideration without the satisfac-
TORY determination of which the chief causes OF
economic disturbance must continue to operate,
but is rather conference of political character
in which the government of the United States
could not helpfully participate. This government
cannot be unmindfu Of the clear conviction Of the

the impeachment proceedings a week ago Judge H. P. Heflin ruled that Wilkinson might assist in the prose- cution "by courtesy" of the solicitor.
 Governor Kilby and Attorney Gen. eral Davis are the only two witnesses requested so far by the defense. Sum mons for the two state officials will be Issued in about a week. Some discussion arose yesterday as to whether the governor can legally be made to appear as a witness. Sum mons will be turned over to the sher- If by the clerk in criminal court and will then be sent to the sheriff of Montgomery county for service.
 Both Governor Kilby and Attor- ney General Davis certified on April 1s to President D. E. McLendon, of the city commission, that will kinson was not working under au- thority from either of them in the grand jury investigation.
 The case to be tried charge the commissioners with making pre-elec- ton promises in violation of the cor rupt practice act. Impeachment pro- ceedings instituted against the com missioners were quashed by Judge Heflin on the grounds that if proven they were not sufficient for im peachment.
 The charges contained In the in- dictments will be tried by jury and likely before Judge Heflin.

 The machine rose easily from the field when the three young men started out, but after reaching 4 height of 200 feet, the engine stopped and the machine crashed before 1t could be gotten under control.

 No wheel of industry turned during the day in Kankakee. Officials paid their tribute by closing the capitol at Springfield and attend ing the services in a body.

State Officials Summoned
 By Defense For Trial OF
 Indicted Commissioners
Governor Kby and Attorney General Davis Only Wit nesses Defense Attorney Intends Using in Cases Set for Hearing July 1O-Speedy Action
 Will Culminate in Cases Being
 Quashed Is General Belief

Summoning of Governor Thomas F. Kllby and Attorney General Har- well G. Davis to appear as witnesses July 10 In the trial of President D. k. McLendon, Commissioners W. E. Cloe and w. k. Dickson of the city commission. led to the belief that Hugo Black, counsel for the defense. would move to quash the indictments on the grounds that Horace c. Wilkin- son was illegally closeted In the grand jury room during city hall investi- gations.
 The law provides that only the so- licitor or his assistants and steno- grapher may assist the grand jury. If 1t ia proven that Wilkinson was not acting on authority from Montgomery it is thought probable that Attorney Black will immediately ask that the charges be thrown out of court on the grounds that they were not brought In accordance with the law.
 The question of whether Solicitor Joseph R. Tate has authority to desig- nate a person to assist him in an investigation is expected to he bone of contention when the case Is called in criminal court on July 10. Should Attorney Black fail in his effort to quash the indictments 1t Is believed that he will raise an objection to Wilkinson participating In the prosecution. At the hearing of

 The communications made evident that careful and complete discussions with spokesmen on both sides of tho industrial struggle had preceded the meeting call. and prompt and ready acceptances are expected immedi- ately.
 John l.. Lewis, chief of the
 United Mine Workers. who re-
 mained in the city after per-
 sonaI interview with the Prcsi-
 dent. accepted at once In behalf
 of the union
 The wording of the Presidents message was interpreted as demon- stratins the desire of the admlnis- tration to hold the meeting above the controversies which have dead locked the unionized section of the industry since April l. Official, but informal comment emphasized 1t was the intention that the conference 1 should be held merely to discuss ways and means for settlement and not to take up the miners de- mands for continuance Of war time wage scales, nor the operators de- mands in the bftuminous field for separate district wage agreements supplanting the semi-nationai wage contracts that have heretofore been made. It was fully expected, how ever, that when the meeting as- sembled, the President or his cabinet members who have participated in the preliminary efforts would have a program for continuation of the set ties1unt attempt to present to the assemblage.
