GENOA, May 21-The first great con-
strnction step in the international eco
nomic conference came today, when
Premier Lloyd George, head Of the Brit
ish Empire delegation, laid the founda-
tions fer his long heralded ten year non
aggression pact to preserve the peace of
Europe
In an official statement issued from
British headquarters. announcement was
made that:

The British pointed out that the charac-
ter Of the Russian reply made 1t apparent
that Russia must wait for some time be-
fore obtaining long term credits.
A rupture Of relations with Russia was
believed probable by those who heard the
French premier's denunclation Of the
soviet note.
Poincare declared the French delega-
tion was remaining temporarily at
Genoa only because the economic ques-
tions such as transportation were CON
siderable and France wished to partici-

FACTS AS TO
BIG MERGER
Investigation Order
Comes From La
Toilette.
PLANS FOR PROBE

WASHINGTON. May PA Govern
mental investigation of the proposed
merger Of six independent steel corpor-
ations into one gigantic organization,
was ordered today by the Senate.
The probe will be carried out by the
Department of Justice and the Federal
trade commission, under a resolution
sponsored by Senator LaFollette, Repub
lican, Wisconsin. The resolution was
adopted without a record vote.
The resolution specifically calls upon
the two Government agencies to inform
the Senate what action they have taken
to prevent the merger and what action
they proposed to take. The attorney
general Is also asked TO indicate how the
Government could prevent the merger.
The pending merger was branded as
a dangerous probability of immense
injury 10 the country" by Senator La
Toilette.
Such a gigantic trust" he said. would
throttle all competition in the steel in
dustry."
Reports also indicate that while the
bethlehem Steel Company for diplomatic
reasons, is apparently not to be taken
into the merger at this time. the plans
contemplate the absorption of this great
corporation into the new trust within
the near future said La Toilette. when
this has been accomplished every So
called independent steel corporation of
any concern in the United States will
have been merged into one gigantic com
bination and almost the entire output of
iron and steel products will be under
the control either Of the United States
Steel Corporation or Of Its twin Lrother
The purpose Of this merger is clear.
1t Is the elimination Of whatever com
petition now exists in the steel indus
try and the creation Of a situation where
prices may be fixed on a monopoly with
out fear OF detection"
