FRENCH LEAVE GENOA
 WITH MORE CONFIDENCE

Genoa, May 1e.-(By The A. P.)- The dominent thought in Genoa tonight as the delegations to the economic con ference were leaving or preparing for departure seemingly was that although the conference was a thing of the past, as far as Genoa is concerned, its achievements would live and contribute much to the pacihcation and reconstruc- Ition of Europe.
 The officials of some of the smaller states undoubtedly will go home disap- pointed, perhaps angry. because their troubles have not been settled at Genoa. Lithuania, for example, is chagrined that | Genoa has not chased the Polish troops l from Lithuanian territory and the small Russian republics bordering the Caspian and Black Seas are grieved be- cause Genoa filed to free them from bol- shevik rule.
 But, as a whole the belief prevails that the Genoa confergnce, despite dis pntes which almost pushed Europe to the Edge of a precipice, has resulted in the beginning of better understandings be-
 tween the nations of Europe, including
 Russia, Even official France admitted
