BIG CONFERENCE
is PRACTICALLY
AT END;F FAILURE
Heralded Meeting from Which
So Much Was Expected
Has Dismal End.
NEW CONFERENCE TO BE
CALLED FOR NEXT MONTH
Appeals Are Made to United
States to Join Confer
ence at The Hague.

GENOA. May Is. - The Genoa
economic conference, long heralded
as meeting of minds out of which
would arise a rejuvenated Europe
and a new order of international
concord and peace, today stands a
desolate hulk.
The anticipated world sees only
vision.
The only results of weeks of ne
gotiations are the Rapallo treaty be-
tween Germany and Russia, virtually
re-establishng the old order of bal
ance of power.
The decision to continue the dis
cussion of the Russian problem at
The Hague without Russian repre-
sentation is the manifestation of ir-
rcconcilable differences between
Great Britain and France on the
means of Russian restoration.
While the adjournment of the con-
ference is not formally announced
yet, the return of British Premier
Lloyd George to England this week
means the conference is. practically
ended with the real adjournment in
sight within a few days.

The problem of the Pacific, as
the 40 years old controversy be-
tween Peru and Chile is known, has
been considered the most grave, If
not the only, menace Of war in South
America 1t brought about at one
time the severance of diplomatic and
even consular relations between
those countries and has been the
cause of costly "armed peace" not

the expiration of which plebiscite
was to have been hold to determine
whether they desired to stay under
the control of Chile or to pass again
under the sovereignty of Peru. The
treaty did not establish the rules
and form in which the plcbiscite was
to be held.
When the 10 years had elapsed
the parties could not agree on the
terms of the plebiscite. The Chile
