Seed of Concert Laid at Genoa,
But Decades Stand Before Coal

Moreover on the credit side of the
conference much can be said. The
moral atmosphere has been shown
to be distinctly better: no ones has
dared to speak in war terms. to
threaten or to evoke, too vividly
mepories of bloodshed or revolution.
The meeting and talking together of
1000 delegates and half as many
newspaper correspondents has not
been without moral effect. Post
prandiaI oratory is generally Hateful,
but prandial conversation is a dis
tinct boon and enforces courteous
contact and reasonable discussion be-
tween the most stubborn enemies.

be prolonged when 1t expires or
be superseded by something better.
Also. just as in former days. re-
ligion and ethics were brought home
to the peoples IN miracle and moral
God, the devil. saints. and so on, so
the conference has shown the peoples
just what clothes they and their
governments are wearing:
Problems Now Clear.
Europe's problems are now as clear
as electric. signs. and to most per-
sons here, the reason for the partial
failure off the conference appears to
be the result of the wrong order in
which these problems. were treated.
Most observers, and ] agree with them,
believe that the problem of repara-
tions takes precedence over all others
and must be solved first. With 1t must
go a scheme for at least partial debt
cancellation. Once the German reba-
rations are reduced with guarantees
that they will be paid the various
questions of political frontiers and
relations, including sea outlets, and
the treatment of minorities, can be
discussed reasonably and without
danger
Reparations Main Issue.
Once Europe is politically quiet the
economic problems will lose their
sharpness and sane restoration will
not meet with such stubborn opposi-
ton.

of both the economic and political
problems. The real success or failure

GENOA, May 19.-This mornings
meeting closed the economic confer
ence in Genoa with sadly depleted
ranks. Many OF the delegations had
departed. leaving only a single repre-
sentative, while others have left none.
Yet the high hopes which greeted this
conference have not been entirely
disappointed. This great gathering of
nations has perhaps laid the seed of
the future European concert or fed
Grafton toward which economic,
scientific and cultural factors seem to
two nations: but many decades will
probably still elapse before that goal
Is reached. Nevertheless, the necess
sity becomes steadily clearer.
Russia still Obstacle.
The Genoa conference, which was
political in character has accom-
plished nothing positive toward re-
newing the relations with Russia,

should Germany again fall into the
hands of the conservatives and
should the Russian isolation be main
tanned. Here the conference was
negative. Little has been accom-
plished for the economic restoration
ofEurope. The reports OF the fnan-
eial and transport commissions are
such as all concur in. They are purely
"platonio" and there is little likeli-
hood of their adoption 1t takes a
microscope to see in them any mark
of renascent wisdom. Nevertheless,

dent of the economic commission, NJ.

of the coming meeting at The Hague
depends, in my opinion, on whether
or not the reparations question has
in the meantime found a satisfactory
basis for solution.
The necessity of the United States
viewing European affairs with the
cfbsest attention must have become
evident. Both politically and eco
nomicaffy American interests In Rus
sia coincide with those Of Europe. and
it Is vain to talk about the open
door il we persistently remain ab-
sent from all attempts to protect
these interests by direct negotiations.

ROME PAID TRIBUTE

Speaker at Federation Ses'
sion Also Lauds American
Academy Founder.

The great and needed stimulation
given to American art by the Amer
lean Academy at Rome and a glow
ing tribute to it's founder. Charles F.
McKim, were emphasized in a speech
by Royal Cortissoz that aroused much
enthusiasm at this mornings session
of the convention being held here Of
the American Federation of Arts. Mr..
Cortissox pointed out that nowhere
else in the world can young artists
be 80 inspired as in Rome Young
artists" he said. can learn their
technique and dexterity here in
America. but the painter. the sculp-
enthusiasm Of real beauty. to have
his Imagination stirred to vital
achievements. to learn the funda-
mental value OF design and style and
proportion, re must go to Rome. None
has done more to insure dignity and
America or a more lasting art than
Mr. McKim in founding his temple to
art among such inspiring environ
ments."

vigorously advocated that art should
not be restricted to a statue in a
