On the other hand, the White House
has been subjected to considerable pres

soviet Russia-to accept the Genoa bid.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Adjournment
of the armament conference brought the
Administration today squarely up against
the task Of making public a decision as
to whether the United States will or will
not participate in the Genoa economic
conferences next month.
Every indication points to non-partici-
patton by the United States, although
Administration spokesman are less vigor-
Gus than heretofore in assigning reasons
why this Government should not take
part in the meeting. The matter has been
discussed at several Cabinet meetings and
likely will be given a thorough overhaul
ing again at today's session.
Sentiment in the Cabinet Itself and in
the Senate is well nigh overwhelming
against the Governments taking a full
part in the Genoa meeting. Even those
who hold such widely divergent views

State Hughes and Secretary of Interior
