that they presumed he was dealing with

conference the attitude Of the State De-

States is not formally represented none
Of the Genoa decisions can be binding In
any way upon this Government or its
nationals. So pronounced has been that
stand that Mr.. Child Is understood to
have told a representative of the other

SITUATION AT GENOA
ENTERS SERIOUS PHASE
Possible NelD Alignment OF
Powers in Europe Is Seen.
BY JOHN NH. STUART.

Special Gable to THE New YoRK HERALD.
Copyright, 1929, by The NEw YORK HERALD.
GENOA, May 3.-All Genoa hung upon
the Paris telegraph wires to-day. 1t Is
recognized that French official action
on the Russian memorandum not only
spells the fate of the conference but
marks the first step In a possible new
algnment of all the Powers of Europe.
4. The Russians have not yet taken no.
Ne OF the receipt of the memorandum
dld assert there will be no formal reply
3.ntil the French and Belgian attitudes
ylre known.
M There is full appreciation Of the grav-
ty OF the situation in French circles
mere. French spokesmen declared to-
day that Premier Poincare's position
had been entirely consistent throughout,
and that Monday night, when the Bel
gian Foreign Minister objected to the
memorandum, NJ. Barthou put 1t on rec
ord that the Belgian objection altered
that pending the Belgian objections he
could not sign without instructions from
Paris
This does not accord with the Eng
lish view. British spokesman reiter-
ated to-day that when M. Barthou
talked with Mr.. Lloyd George yester-
day morning he expressed satisfaction
with the terms. The French explain
that he meant only the way they were
drafted The French argument that
1t is a domestic political necessity to
be stiff with Russia may be followed
UP by Mr.. Lloyd George at any mo-
ment, IL he is pressed for a conclusion.
British observers point out that
Premier Lloyd George will lose the
election platform he sought to erect
at home IL the Genoa conference COL
lapses. IL is believed certain he win
seek a new issue of equal gravity, II
necessary. His friends say that his
mind is running in that direction, as
indicated by his repeated illusions to a
new alignment of Powers In Europe
III the conference breaks down it is
predicted he will conclude his own
terms with Russia. and thus by i'm
plication. with Germany.
Such an economic bloc would meet the
views OF large sections of liberal opinion
In England, influenced by the similar
doctrines of John Maynard Keynes. 1t
Ia admitted, however that Mr.. Lloyd
George will have TO show clearly that
the burden of blame for Genoa's failure
rests upon France in order to sustain
before the British public open abandon
ment OF the blood consecrated en-
tente."
: Another solution suggested. aside
Ixom the French coming into line. is that
tina first attempt at Russian haggling be
taken as refusal of the Western Powers's
final word and signal for breaking up
the congress. leaving the Entente in
tact.
