ers were today preparing the details
of document informing the soviet
delegates what the powers expected
of them and what the powers on
their part were ready to do for Rus
sia, the Russian delegates issued an
open statement which pertinently
expressed their discomfort because
they were not being kept informed of
what the powers intended to do.
Their statement insisted that Rus
sia would protect her sovereign
rights and contended that she alone
was following the fundamental ideas
of the Cannes resolutions touching
the questions of reciprocity and. eco
nomic CONSTRUCTION. The text OF the
statement follows:
After the meeting of the experts
at which the Russian viewpoints on
the first seven articles of the London
experts report was presented in de-
tail, ano news has come to US con-
cerning the attitude which the pow
ers will pursue. Russia has not the
least desire for a rupture. but she is
determined to safeguard the principle
of her sovereign rights and the prin-
ciple of reciprocity, which is the only
possible basis of community of peo-
pies and economic reconstruction.
'sSuch indeed, constitutes the fun
damental idea Of the Cannes resolu-
ton and We believe that it is Russia
alone which remains entirely faithful
to the Cannes resolutions in all their
essentials"
The document of the powers which
is to be handed to the Russian dele
gates was considered today by Pre-
nier Lloyd George. Signor Schanzer,
r. I. \ To- nd
Hayashi at Mr.. Lloyd Georges villa;
it will be submitted to the sub-conl-
mission of Russian affairs tomorrow.
Intense interest is concentrated in
the probable text of Mr.. Lloyd
Georges non aggression pact, several
drafts of which have been drawn. 1t
is learned that one of the drafts con-
tains the proposition that the MEM
bers of the little entente shall nu i
tually agree TO organize kind OF
flying army which viii act as inter-.
national policemen TO protect the
fontiers and punish violations of the
nom aggression agreement.

aspects certain indications c4ne to
the surface that two distinct nblitical
waves which being contraditoty. are
difficult to reconcile are surely
spreading throughout Europe.
One is internationalism and the
pther is nationallsnl.
While few statesmen dare to speak
openly of the possibility of attain
ing some form of federation of the
European states it is learned that
many of them secretly possess ambl-
tions to bring about harmony between
nationalism and internationallsm and
the basis of this new European con-
struction could be the principles OF
equity, justice and the fellowship OF
man. Many conference circles re-
marked today on the coincidence that
two leaders so widely apart as Lloyd
George and the Rev. Don Luigi Stur-
20. leader of the Italian Catholic
party should be exhc-ting Europe
that it might move along the lines of
fnternationaliSm based on equity and
self restraint, as well as justice and
charity. 1t is understood that Lloyd
George has a profound ambition to
make his nom aggression pact the
precurs of a broad movement to bring
all the peoples of Europe including
Russia and Germany, closer together,
perhaps as the first step toward some
form of European federation.
Lloyd George Speaks
The British prime minister's ad-
dress to the British and American
press representatives yesterday has
created a great deal of interest here
and an official stenographer copy of
1t was issued today. It was UNDER
stood before the address that Mr.
Lloyd George was not to be quoted,
but when he had concluded he re-
marked:
after all, you can quote me if you
wish; it is better that my thoughts
be published"
Among the significant statements
voiced by the prime minister were the
following:
I'VE have gathered here to see
whether it was not possible to find
= settlement that will be acceptable
to common sense and to the con-
science of the peoples of Europe.
Referring to the contested frontier
In Europe: every one of those
lines involves in itself the possi-
bility of terrible conflict in Eu-

are the result of the terrible muddle
of races which you have surging like
a cauldron in the center which has
not settled down.
"You have this racial lava surg
ing right through the center of Eu-
rope and unless you settle the line
there which will be accepted by
everybody there are interrninable
possibilities of future conflicts that

nation keep down two great peoples

an impossibiiity. You must arrive al
