Genoa, April l2.--Gonoa's modern
Tower Of Babel" Is gradually find,
Ing artIculate voice.
Disputes, savoring OF old world
diplomacy, In which balance OF pow.
er played such an important part
In the first 4s hours OF the econom.
ic conference. have been straighten.
ed out under the firm Dictatorship
of Premier Lloyd George.
The results OF the Genoa pariey
that are within sight are:
/. Readmisslon OF Russia In the
family of nations.
2. Agreement among European
powers providing for non.aggresslon.
3. Economic. financial and trans
portation agreement among the lead
ing powers represented.
Delegates today frankly admit the
Genoa conference cannot in itself
hope to cure Europe's Ills. These
can only be overcome during a long
period of time when natural laws
of supply and demand have had
time to adjust themselves.
The chief opposition to the con-
ferences successful progress has de.
veloped from the Russian delegation.
Tchitcherin, as predicted Is proving
the stumbling block.
Lloyd George, however, with the
cordial support of Italy, which is
willing to sacrifice everything for
the success of the conference, has
won over the French by his firm
stand against Russian proposals and
bids fair to bring the conference
through with sufficient success to
warrant its existence.
Allied sponsors of the conference,
in talks with the United Press, to-
day pointed out that in the first
two days at Genoa four imposing |
obstacles have been overcome.
1. Alignment of powers, which |
was one of the most critical issues,
involving choice between allied
dictation to the conference, or re-
establishment of European nations
upon equal terms, has been arrang-
ed, through British ,insistance upon
a measure of equality for all. Lloyd
George, IL he has not secured COM
plete equality Tor Russia and Ger
marv, has at least secured their
representation on the main councils
with full opportunity to voice their
own views.
2. The Cannes resolutions have
survived the initial test and the
conference now has an established
basis for its deliberations.
3. The intangible yet fearful ques-
tion of the probable behavior of the
Russian representatives has been
Strengthened out by
gracious compliance
with Lloyd Georges demands. When
the Russian leader crossed swords
with Louis Barthou at the opening
session, the later demanded with
drawal of Japan and Russia, there
was no little apprehension among
the delegates, but this has now
given way to acknowledgment the
Russians may behave after ALL
4. The question of how the vari-
GUS commissions should be consti-
tuted has apparently been satisfac-
torily settled.
This latter question, however, still
may cause trouble, for those small
not represented On the po-
litical commission, which includes
Lloyd George, Barthou, Schanzer,
Theunis, Ishii Wirth, Tchitcherin,
Branting, Mott, Skirmunt and Bra
tiano, are protesting that since this
group controls the conference they
might as well go home. The low
rate of their exchange make it most
costly for them to remain at Genoa.
they say, when they have no voice
in its decisions.
