Russia Still Fights Plan
y For 2 Boards of Experts
Special Cable TO The Tribune


GENOA, May 15.--The agreement
reached by the powers to allow the
Russians to participate in the meeting
OF the political sub-commiss to-mor-
row has only partly eased the Soviet's
feelings of wounded pride. TIL con-
cession will undoubtedly prolong the
session two or three days, as it was
clear that the Russian delegation was
ready to pack up and start for home
f7'ess it had an opportunity to explain
further its suggestion that mixed
committee of experts be appointed to
examine the Russian question.
Georg Tchitcherin, head of the Rus
sian delegation, told a Tribune cor
respondent tonight that he was glad
Of the chance to sit in the meeting
tomorrow, but on behalf Of his govern
ment and as matter of principle he
would register a strong protest against
the proposal that two committees Of
experts meet at The Hague. one from
the powers and one from Russia He
considered that the latter would be
called in only when they were deemed
useful to the powers.
Tchitcherin said he would protest
also against the demand for promise
to refrain from making separate agree
nents or treaties with other powers
pending the conference at The Hague
third objection he will raise is
against the making Of any pledge to
refrain from all activities against the
territorial and political status quo dur
ing the same period.
1.-The first proposal" said Tchitcherin,
ais incompatible with Russias political
independence and the last is difficult
because of Russia's present situation
with regard to Japan. Russia must de-
mand to be dealt with separately. We
sympathizc with the proposal for
non-aggression agreement, but how do
we know that Japan will not pretend
that her occupation of Siberia is not
violation Of the status quo?"
The Russian chief envoy here indi-
Gated that the Soviet Government was
W fear Of Japan and intimated that
discussions for the settlement Of the
Siberian question were not going we'll
enough to suit Moscow.
RUSSIA will not bind herself to take
no action against Japan in Eastern
Siberia" he said. "While the Japanese
doubtless say that there is no con-
epiracy within Siberian territory they
nevertheless continue to furnish arms
and ammunition to bands which are
attacking the Chita government, and
We are asked to bind ourselves to take
no action against them or to take
measures of sef-defcnse against the

GENEVA, May Is (By The Associated

Poland and Germany, settling the Up
per Slesian question between the two
nations, was signed to-day in the pres

eliminating any possibility there might
have been of European war over this
long sta nding controversy.
The agreement, longer than the
Treaty of Versailles, and containing
6O1 articles, was negotiated under the
auspices of the league and covers de
tailed arrangements for disposal of all
problems connected with the railways

legal questions. for tho pext fifteen

No Nation Can Exist by
Self, Says Lloyd George

LONDON, May Is (By The AS
sociated Press Prime Minister
Lloyd George, in message to
"The Yorkshire Evening News"
says:
1--WE have reached new phase
in Western civilization. There
have been wars of religion and
dynastic wars; there have been
wars to secure richer supplies of
raw materials with which to
nourish trade and commerce. The
new phase is the economic inter
dependence Of Europe and the
whole world. No modern nation
can exist by itself; it is dependent
upon other nations, whether
neighboring or remote.
"A pact of non-aggression is
fundamental to economic recon-
struction. Every nation in Eu-
rope must recognize the sanctity
of its neighbors' boundaries.
Frontiers will then become open
doors of commerce, not national
barriers. Peace is the first es-
sential.'
