Is Continuation of Genoa
Conference.

THE HA CUE. June 2S.-The So
viets have won a victory at The
Hague by virtually establishing the
principle that the pre.ent interna-
tional conference is continuation
of Genoua-significanc of this be-
ing that concessions the Russians
gained at Genoa will be applicab bl e
here.
The point was won py Litvinoff
when the allies. discarding the idea
of commission of inquiry for Rus
sia. which the Soviets have consist
entity opposed. proceeded along a
new course OF inquiry by means of
Questionnaires.
The debts commission asked the
Soviets for full information regard
ing the Russian budget. Litvinoff
agreed finally. but held out until
told the Information was necessary
so the allies could decide whether
they would grant a moratorium.
Thereupon. the Russian delegate de-
manded that the moratorium ques-
tually winning his point that the
matter was settled in plinciple at
Genoa.
AS Litvinoff is now in communi-

information required, the next meet

howled at Wednesday during the

ington with the disabled veterans

howls of derision from the floor OF
the convention.

telegram from 4sS students in the
school was read expressing bitter
dissatisfaction with the manage
ment and asking either that the

regarding unemployment, that steps
were now being taken to establish a
national employment service to be
maintained at a cost of 100000 a

declared that the peak of the hos

that time on should improve con-
siderably."
