Russians, Outmaneuvered,
Are Expected to Yield

GENOA, April I6.-The Genoa con-
ference. at the end of its first week.
has reached a stage reminiscent of
Versailles. All decisions here are
in the hands of half a dozen leaders
representing the big powers, while
countryside with nothing to do but
await the pleasure of Lloyd George.
Barthou, Schanzer and Tchitche-in,
who are wrestling with the out
standing problems.
Meanwhile the others are study
Ing memoranda and deciding what
they would do if they only had the
opportunity. The increased restive-
ness OF the smaller powers finally
has taken expression in the draw
ing up of a memorial to the secre-
tariat general of the conference
urging a meeting of the political
subcommission Immediately that
business can proceed. But il Is I'M
likely the commission will meet I'M
til the Russians receive instructions
from Moscow as to how much they
will be allowed to concede.
Russia Expected to Yield.
British dominance and the lead
ership of Lloyd George in the role
of arbitrator Were in evidence
throughout the week. Another out
standing development was the
modification of the French attitude,
thus enabling the allies to present
a fairly united front in dealing
with the Soviets. Consequently. the
Bolsheviki, while exhibiting super
fetal cIeverness, were frequently
outargued or forced to face realities
to such an extent that 1t would
seem they will either have to con-
tinue negotiations leading to an
agreement that will be satisfactory
to the allies, or deliberately halt
negotiations and break up the con-
ference. The latter eventually is
considered unlikely.
Lloyd George apparently is now
concentrating his hopes on two
achievements: An agreement with
Russia and his plan for an agree
ment against aggressiveness.
Russian Delay Annoying.
The latter is being held in abey-
ance pending the Russian settle
ment on the assumption that an
agreement regarding the Russian
debt and restitution of property
will revolve at some length around
the question of a moratorium for
the Russian debt.
Such annoyance is resulting from
the delay caused by the Russian
delegation in referring questions to
Moscow, that it is expected the
committee for verification of the
powers of delegates will look into
the matter to establish just how
far the Russian delegation is au-
thoriZed to negotiate.
The absence of Poincare and the
resultant Limitation on Barthou's
powers is also felt keenly.
