HAGUE CONFERENCE.
FACING COLLAPSE.
Soviet's Refusal to Guarantee
Restoration Of Property
May Wreck Meeting
RUSSIANS ASK CREDIT
By Associated Press

The Hague. July 1.-THE morning
session Of the conference on Russian
affairs. which was devoted to the con-
sideration of the private property ques.
ton, broke up amid considerable confu-
sion. many of the delegates declaring the
Russian replies meant that the COL
lapse Of The Hague conference was in
evitablc.
No decision ns to this, however. had
been taken up to 8 o'clock this after
noon.
A meeting of the commission on debts
was arranged for later in the afternoon.
President Patyn announced in the con-
ference at l o'clock that further dis
cussion seemed useless and brought the
conference to sudden close after two
hours Of debate. in which Sir Philip
Iloyd-Greamc, of Great Britain, and
other Of the non Russian delegates per.
sistently tried to get Maxim Litvinov
and his associates Of the Russian dele.
CATION to answer questions regarded as
essential.
These related to the plans for the
restoration Of foreign property confis-
Gated by the Soviet regime and the prob
able time that would be required to re-
build Russia.
Just as at the Genoa conference the
chief bone Of contention was the for
eign property that had been national
ized in Russia. and 1t did not appear
that the Russians and non Russians
were any nearer an agreement Ht The
Hague than at Genoa OH that problem
which wrecked the Genoa conference.

months. A list of 1000 under nour-
shcd children was prepared from the
public school pupils. Only the most
urgent eases Of under nOurishment were
selected from that number. and then Il
further investigation instituted tD de-
termnc whether the child was proper
~ entitled to the charity Of the city
or whether his parents were financially
able to bring him back to health.
\ list of 900 children was prepared
and the work Of building up the frai!
little bodies with milk, sunlight and
scientific play and care was begun.
Just as soon az the child reaches the
normal weight. he is discharged from
the camp, sent TO his home and another
under nouriShed child takes his place.
