Delegation TO Session.

washington, Jan 25.--The Genoa
conference, called for the purpose OF
straighfening out the tangled skein of
European economies. may be post
poned Indefinitely or may be aban-
doned.
Conviction is spreading In orlciai
circles here that the promoters Of this

:, There are said 20 be two reasons
n why the President does not feel fres
a to send a delegation TO Genoa. The
J, first is that Congress has left un-
