SOV|ETS JUMP AT CHANCE ID ATTEND
 ECONOMIC FARLEY
German ? egation Will Reach fsS Wednesday
 aSA T ocuSSion of .c,s" Preparations
By Associated Press

Cannes. January 9.-Official an- nouncement was made today that soviet Russia would be represented at the forthcoming economic con. ference to be held at Genoa This was contained in a wire less dispatch received by the su- preme council before formal in- vitation to the soviet government had actually been drawn up, and the speed with which the Russians have replied to the announcement that they were to be invited was construed to mean that they are keenly de- sirous of joining with the nations on almost any terms acceptable to the allies.
 The subcommittee which will meet tomorrow to frame the text of the invitations for the gathering at Genoa was confronted tonight by the nice diplomatic question of whether il should send out an invitation to a country which already has signi- fled its intention to be present,
 Simultaneously with the making public of Russias intention to have representation at Genoa, it became known that the German delegation, headed by pr. Walker Rathenau, will arrive in Cannes Wednesday to dis cuss the question of reparations with the supreme council.
 The reparation experts and the committee dealing with the proposed international financial corporation today outlined their program which comprises a vast effort for Euro pean reconstruction. The reparation experts decided that Germany should be asked to pay 720,000.000 gold marks in 1922. and at least an equal sum annually afterwards Such pay n.ents, it is considered, will be suf- ficient to meet the interest on series of German bonds of 2O,oOo,- 0o0, 900 gorld marks which thus will become negotiable.
 The economic commission decided upon an international corporation with a capital of 2,000.000 pounds, with it's seat in London and with a hoard of directors nominated by af- filiated companies in each interested country. These countries, including the United States, will organize cor porations for promotion only, with a combined capital equivalent to Szo,, Do0 900. These corporations VIII serve as mediums for credit trans actions and facilitating the activi- ties of private enterprises In all countries where the business field TOW Is obstructed by lack of credlts and disorganized finances.

DEMOCRATS ATTACK
TREATY As invalid
Senators Raise Technicaiity
Regarding Reservations at
Armament Conference.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL,

A flank attack by it's Democrr
oponents reopened the bars<hx
the fourpower Pacific treaty
the Senate yesterday.
Senators Hitchcock of Nebrask
and Pittman CT Nevada contended
that ratification OF the pact by the
Senate on Friday was invalid 5e-
cause the Senate had not acted upon
the two reservations attached to 1t
by its signatories during the arma-
ment conference.
Hitchcock and Pittman argued that
the reservations were part of the
treaty. Senators Lodge, the Republi-
can leader, insisted that they were
only interpretations" expressive of
the views of the signatories.
Sharp Verbal Tits.
Sharp verbal Tits ensued between
Hitchcock and Lodge which provoked
merriment In the thronged galleries.
Hitchcock reminded Lodge that he
had directed the Senate's attention to
the two reservations just before
ratification was voted on and that
he had been ruled out Of order by
the Vice President.
Senator Walsh 1Dem.) of Montana
expressed the opinion that IL the le-
gality of the ratification with the
reservations was referred to the Su.
preme Court Of the United States
that Hitchcocks canviction that
they were part of the treaty would
be upheld.
This was construed as a plain in
timation from the treaty's opponents
that they were planning to test the
legality of ratification in the courts
IL the Administration forces refused
to permit II to be reopened in the
Senate.
Part Of Treaty"
Senator Robinson declared that
the reservations were "unquestion-
ably part Of the treaty." and othef
Democratic Senators joined him in
expressing the same view.
Senator Lodge contended that the
reservations were merely part Of a
declaration" by the treaty's sigma
tories which could not be construed
as an integral part Of the treaty.
IL should judge from the 'declara.

tives Of the four powers that it was
