AGREEMENT NOT
POSSIBLE WITH
SOVIET RUSSIA
NOW, IS BELIEF
Conviction Is Deeply DiSap-
pointing to Those Who
Expected Quick Results
From Genoa Conference.
PLAN A COMMISSION
TO STUDY PROBL EMS
Predict This viii Be Eff
caciOuS and Finally Bring
the Country Back Into the
European Family,
CBy The ASS ciated Press. J

Genoa, May IL (by the Associa-
ted Press) SO gravely at variance
are Russia's communism and the
order of things obtaining through
out the rest of Europe that a gen
eral, immediate agreement with
Russia appears tonight improbable.
This conviction is deeply disap-
pointing to those who expected
quick and big results at Genoa, but
the sentiment is tempered by the
belief that the creation of one or
more commissions to pursue an
exhaustive study of the Russian
problems will prove efficacious in
finding means to reconstruct
Russia and bring her back into the
European family.
Furthermore, Premier LLOYD
George and the italian leaders are
convinced that the signing of an
European truce as q preliminary
to general mona aggression pact
will go a long way towards tram
QUILTING Europe. Hopes of even
tually accomplishing something
genuinely constructive for Russia
we're increased tonight by an
nouncement from the French dele
cation that France favors the ap-
pointment of commission for in
vestigation of questions like credit,
debts and the treatment of for
eign private property, and ap-
proves also general truce, pro-
vided it is understood that while
the commissions are engaged in
their labors the powers will not
follow in the footsteps of Germany
and make separate treaties with
Russia.
The French resent accusations
that they tried to wreck the con-
ference; they assert that the pres
ent situation justifies their views
that the Russian problem has not
been sufficiently studied and that
more should have been
done to approximate the views OF
the Russians with the representa-
tives of non-communist states be-
fore 'hoping to reach a general
sweeping accord at Genoa. in other
words they believe that the Rus
sian problem through investigation
by a commission which will prob
ably visit Russia. is being attacked
now in a proper and logical man
ner and they therefore approve
the contemplated procedure,

ed with little discussion except Tor

tor, directed both federal agents

the merger and what action has
been instituted "to protect the pub

from other department OF justice
officials it was learned that while
no plans had as yet been taken to
prevent the merger, an investiga-
tion, as directed by the senate,
would follow. These officials said
definite reports of the merger had
been available so recently that the
department had not had time to
investigate.
Federal trade commission Off
cials said that in accordance with
the senate resolution an investi-
cation of the proposed merger
would be undertaken Immediately.
Senator La Toilette, in calling
mp his resolution, offered several
days ago, attacked the proposed
combination of the now independ-
ent companies declaring the
merger, if effected, would work ir-
reparable injury.
1.-THE purpose Of the merger Is
clear" he said. 1T is the elimfna-
tion of whatever competition now
exists in the steel industry and the
creation of a situation where prices
may be fixed on a monopoly basis
without fear of detection

rather than a strike-started yes
terday when they asserted that
about 200 men from one plant,
armed with cordwood clubs, march,
ed out, urged workers at other
plants to quit and beat up those
