and also strengthened his original
instructions to NJ. Barthou at Genoa.
He is understood to have told NJ.
Barthou that he must not enter into
any negotiations whatsoever with the
Russians.
He also told nj. Barthou to make
clear. both in the sub-commission
and the plenary commission. that the
view of French government is that
nothing more is to be gained by pro-
longing the conference.
The French governme will not
agree to French experts sitting on
any commissions with the Russian
experts, being of the opinion that ex-
changes Of views with the Soviet
deleg gates will lead to nothing: but in
Difference to certain susceptibilities
the French delegates might accept
an early meeting in some other city
between allied experts mmissioned
to study the best methods for deal
ing with the Russian problem. 1t is
also felt that representatives OF the
United States should be present at
such meetings.
Should France take the initiative
in winding up the conference, ac-
cording to Information received here
Belgium, Poland and Denmark and
possibly other powers, would follow
her lead.

commissions are engaged in their
labors the powers will not follow in

separate treaties with Russia.
The French resent accusations that
they tried to wreck the conference:
they assert that the present sltua-

Russian problem has not been SUN
GENTLY studied and that something
more should have been done to APP
proximate the views of the Russian

communist states before hoping to
reach a general sweeping accord ut
Genoa. They believe that the Rus

by commission which probably Will
visit Russia, is being attacked now
in a proper and logical manner.
and they therefore approved the con-
t,mplated procedure.
Soviet Russia by its attitude. in
the opinion of the Italians. has lost
golden opportunity at Genoa. but
the Genoa conference would create

something constructive has been ac-
complished to prepare the way for a
solution of Europe's general situa-
ton perilous. NJ. Tchtcherin left
Genoa this afternoon carrying the
truce project to Santa Margherita

took it under consideration.

TranscOntinental Air
Mail Service to Be
Extended to Boston

Boston, May 12.-Early extension to
Boston OF the San Francisco New
York Air Mail service was predicted
by Governor Cox today in Il state
ment issued after he had signed a
bill by which Massachusetts becomes
the first state to join with the federal
government in establishing an air
plane landing field. In October last
President Harding and Secretary of
War Weeks called upon Massachu-
sets and other states to cooperate
with the central authorities in efforts
to utilize the air as a medium Of
transportation and communication
both in peace and war"
The bill, a response to the presiden-
tai appeal. provides for laying out
and constructing an airplane landing
field on property owned by the com
monwealth in East Boston near JEFF
fries Point. and for its lease to the
federal government at a nominal rem
tai for period not exceeding ten
years. The war department has
agreed to erect on the field hangers
and, repair shops for military, naval
and mail airplanes, and to permit the
use of the field under suitable regu-
lation5 by commercial and civil fliers.
1T is particularly fitting that
Massachusetts should take a leading
position in This matter. for her great
ness has been built in no small de-
gree upon excellence of communica-
ton and transporta ton which has
made it easy to exchange the pro-
ducts of the state for those of the rest
Of the nation" the governor said.
1.-THE air mail already is functioning
on more than nine-tenths of the
transcontinental route with a per-
Torrance of 96 per cent. perfect.
There remains only to be added the
New York Boston link in order that
Massachusetts in particular and New
England in general may share in the
great advantage in speed offered by
the partial substitution Of the air.
plane for the railroad as means Of
conveying the mails"
Officials of the post Office depart

bill.
