GENOA CONFERENCE
FACES WORST CRISIS
Division Over Russian Memorandum
Among Allies-RusSia Not
Likely TO Accept.

GENOA. Nay g ASSOCIATED Press).
The most critical stage of the inter-
national economic conference was
reached today, arising through the diff
ferences in the ranks of the allied dele
gates over the memorandum to Russia
and through the attitude of the Rus
SLAMS themselves, it was declared this
afternoon by an official Italian spokes-
man. The Italian spokesman said Rus
sia's acceptance of the memorandum de
pended entirely upon whether the powers
were ready to grant the loans asked by
the Russian delegates.
To say there is no hope left, he
said, would be an exaggeration; but
the difficulties are enormous. The con
ference is now going through its decisive
Moments.
Similar views were expressed else
where, the fear seeming general that the
conference was dangerously near the
rocks. Many observers believed that a
strong undercurrent-a struggle for ma
tional advantages in the future develop
ment of Russia's. resOurces-was materi-
ally affecting the present negotiations.
Russia's reply to the allied memoran-
dunn expected to be ready Sunday or
Monday, will be a distinctly conciliatory
document not intended TO break off ne
gotiations, Foreign Minister Tchitcherin
said today 1t viii. however, he de
cared. firmly state Russia's inability to
comply with the terms offered.
