OPTIMISM PERvADES
CONFERENCE CIRCLE
CONFLICTING VIEWS BEING
GRADUALLY IRONED OUT AT
GENOA AS RUSSIAN AND
FRENCH DELEGATES REALIZE
CONSEQUENCES .E

Genoa, April ia feeling Of
optimism perwades conference
circles truly in keeping with the Eas--
ter spirit. Signor Schanzer, the Itali-
an foreign minister, speaking with
the Associated Press correspondent
today indicated his full saticfaction
in the results Of the conference.
1T is already great and historic"
he said, "but above all of moral
value, which must Inevitably lead to
satisfactory consequences. It is, how
ever, too early in the proceedings to
hazard a prediction as to the magui-
tude and extent Of the final results
which the conference may reach. The
spirit of tolerance shown by the
delegations is a good omen for the
work Of paciication of Europe and
towards the efforts Of all countries,
irrespective of whether they are
victors, vanquished or neutrals." ..
The first week of the conference
ended with what on Monday last ap-
peared impossTble-a tendency to a
reapproachment between France and
Russia. The Russian delegates have
clearly understood during these
seven days that, despite Anglo
French differences Of opinions, they
can not count on rupture be-
tween the two leading allies; so that
their only hope Of Obtaining what
they desire in the conference is to
come to an understanding with
France. .
The French delegates on their side
realize that a rupture with England
and conflict with Russia would vir-
tually mean the isolation Of France
so that force of circumstances brings
them to seek compromise with Rus
sia. I'll.
The meetings at he Villa de Al
bertis arranged by Premier Lloyd
George have not by any means been
the only attempts at a reapproach-
ment. Yesterday, while the experts
were engaged in discussions over
figures, M. Barthou of the French
delegation, tempted by the fine Wea-
ther, decided to motor to Portohno
which has the reputation OF afford
ing the best view of the hed1ter-
ranean sea. BY a coincidence, or
perhaps not, NJ. Chitcherin, head Oh
the Russian delegation, at about the
same time had the same idea and
motored to Portofino from Santa
Margherita. Naturally, the two dele
oates who had already met both
around the conference table and at
the Villa de Albertis came together
again and enjoyed the view with mu-
tual admiration.
But fate had not yet exhausted her
store of coincidence. A short time
later who should appear but Mr'
Lloyd George, who also apparently
seized by an irresistible desire to
admire the panorama at Portohno.
The British prime minister joined his
two fellow delegates, but it is not
known whether the earliest conversa-
tion which ensued concerned the
beauties of the view or Sra|er
