RUSSIAN REPRESENTATIVE
EXPOSES FRENCH DESIGNS

Genoa (by cabIel George Chic

the French disarmament bluff at the
first meeting Of the European economic
conference which opened here April.
10. The new order successfully chal-
lenged the old.
AT the Washington disarmament con-
ference. Aristide BRAND, French prem
Ter. had stated that France would glad
ly disarm, but could moi do 50 on ac-
count Of the Russian Red Army. Chic
herin, who is leading the Russian dele
cation, told the Genoa conference that
Russia would cheerfully discuss disarn-
ament, particularly with the French
The anger Of the French delegation
was expressed by its leader, Louis Bar
thou, who said that disarmament was
not to be discussed. Chicherin was
ruled out Of order when he attempted
to speak again BY the Italian premier
Facta, who was in the chair.
But he had accomplished his pur-
pose Of making French Imperialism so
obvious that nobody could mistake it.
Chicherin protest, at the second
meeting, against the seating Of Japan
csc and Rumanian delegates on the
ground that those countries were en-
gagged IN military occupation Of Rus
sian territory, was also overruled.
The Russian delegation is the chief
center of interest in the streets and ho-
tels. The Germans are next in attrac-
Ting attention.
The French opposition to Russian
participation in the open conference.
based on the desire to keep Russia
from having equal rights with the rest
lot the great powers, was overcome BY
the British, headed by Premier David
Lloyd George.
The Russians lost again in turn when
their proposal to invite Turkey and
Montenegro was vetoed. Montenegro
is now Incorporated as part Of Jugo-
Islavia.
Christian Radoysky, premier Of the
Ukrainian soviet republic, and member
of the Russian delegation, gave out the
following statement to The Federated
Press:

CONGRESSMAN ASKS AID
FOR DIRECT TRADING

Congressman VIM. G. Landlord, Of
Georgia, has just introduced bill in
The House Of Representatives appropri-
.ating SIS, 900 to be expended by the
Secretary Of Agriculture in organizing
direct trading between the watermelon
and canteloupe producers Of Georgia
and consumers buying associations in
The District of Columbia. The Georgia
farmers got little or nothing for their
valuable melon crop last year, while
consumers in Atlantic coast cities con-
nected directly by rail with the Georgia
melon markets were compelled to pay
$500 apiece and up for fair-sized me-
ions.
Congressman Landlord believes that
cooperative marketing will not only
greatly reduce the price Of melons to
The consumers and give them fresh
er fruit. but will also enable the far
mers to secure decent return for their
labor and expense. The Landlord d.
rect trading bill is being warmly sup
ported BY the All-American Co-opera-
tive Commission, which has success
fully promoted similar direct trading
enterprises throughout the country dur
ing the past year.

ALLIES SQUANDER
PREPARATION FUNDS
lBy The Federated Pressl

Berlin. 80 The German Federation
of Labor and the Federation Of Pro-
fessionals have issued joint state
ment protesting against the wasteful
expenditure Of the German reparation
money by the allies.
The statement cites The Paris Temps
in proof Of the claim that out Of L.
000,000,000 of gold marks paid by
Germany up to Dec. 81, 1921, only
z. 800,000,000 were used in the re-
construction Of France, and that much
Of the remainder was spent for the oc-
cupation and for the interallied com
missions in Germany.
A French general now receives ]
$4,000 German marks per year, in
the occupied area.
The German labor unions are in fa-
vor Of making good the damage caused
by the German armies, but they pro-
test against the waste Of money in
ways which do not reconstruct Europe,
the statement declares.
