POSTPONE GENOA
CONFERENCE If
U.S.. DEMANDS IT
Europe Nervously Awaits
Harding's Final Word
On Participation.

LONDON. Jan. 26.-with Europe
nervously awaiting President Hard
ing's final word regarding the
Genoa conference and conveying to
the world the impression that Eu-
ropes whole economic future de-
pends upon the United States, the
chief promoters of the conference
Great Britain and ItaIy-are ready
to go to almost any length pur'
chase Americas participatin.
This sentiment is now being eX-
pressed in two ways. In the first
place, while no decision has yet
come from America, British officials
indicate that If the United States
expresses a wish to await the con-
clusion of the Washington confer
ence. and that after that time sns
will join the Genoa movement, the
conference will be postponed. IN
the second place, realizing that the
American attitude will be Influenced
by the state OF affairs existing be-
tween France and Great Britain. the
British government will attempt 70
speed up negotiations on the
Franco British $pact, In the hope
that conclusion Of n treaty satis-
factory to Premier Poincare will
moderate the present French atti-
ture and thus enable tangible
promise to Washington that the
French will act more fayorably al
Genoa.
America. therefore. can enter the
Genoa conference whenever she de-
sires. and the opening of the con-
vention will be deferred to await
her pleasure.
This is true in spite of the fact
that both the British and Italians
are opposed to postponement, point
ing out that II aid is to be accorded
Russia it should be before the
spring sowing to prevent a recur-
renee of the famine.
The reparations situation as we'll
demands immediate attention and
a solution cannot long be delayed.
The second effort to reconcile the
United states found its expression
Thursday night when Lord Curzon
and the French Ambassador opened
conversations designed to lead to
an early settlement on the pact. 1t
is believed that Americas answer

OF ARMS PARLEY
Proposes Amendment to
Debt Bill Retaining
Control by Congress.

In a speech in the Senate pro-
nouncing the conference on limi-
tation of armament a failure, all
because of secret diplomacy, Sen
ator johnson. of California. yes
terday launched a movement by
Republican "irreconcilables' to re-
tain control by Congress of the
negotiations to refund the allied
debts to the United States.
He proposed an amendment 10
the pending $1,000. .800,0 refund
ing bill, requiring Congressional
confirmation of any arrangement
made by the administration with
the allied governments to defer
payment Of their Indebtedness to
the United States.
Senator Johnson Denounced the
arms conference for what he said
was its departure from the open
diplomacy with which IL opened.
I'VE hoped for a new era" said
Johnson. in describing We open
sessions of the conference. Like
every American I felt a thrill when
the Secretary of State arose in the
open, scrapped the old diplomacy
and told the people of the world
the new method Of diplomacy.
Secrecy Spoiled Success.
Il believe that IL he had con-
tinued in the open for another week
there would have been a disarma- =
ment program adopted that would
have been in accordance with ex-
actly what he proposed"
johnson said world opinion came
to the support Of Hughes. and ex-
pressed the opinion that IL would
have reacted on the representatives
in the conference in three or four
brief open sessions,

England promptly will pay her OBJ

Watson went on to point out tha I
such favorable arrangements might
not be possible with other nations.
'If had my way about it." Sem
ator Watson said, ''I would be very
happy right now to take so cents
