GENOA. May 1.-THE Genoa eco~
nomic conference will end Friday
with a plenary session, after which
the various delegations will entraiu
for home.
Tomorrow meeting of the full
political commission Of the confer
ence will be held, with both Russian
and German delegates in attendance,
at which all the nations will agree to
aggression truce, binding all
of Europe to live in a state Of peace
and territorial status quo until Jan-
uary &c, 1928.
The Hague invitation. which Rus
sia formally accepted to-day pros
vided for truce from the opening
of the gathering in Holland, juno
Is, until October 26, in which in
terval settlement of the Russian
problem is hoped for, but the powers
agreed to-day to extend this truce
another three months.
In connection with the truce it was
agreed, at the suggestion of Georg
Tchitcherin. Bolshevik Foreign Minis
Ter, that peace zones should be estab~
lished along the Russian frontier to
prevent inadvertent clashes there wh:lc
The Hague parley was in progress.

under the terms of the truce not to
sign any separate agreements with tho
Rolsheviki while the truce is in effect.
Separate Appeal to America
Premier Lloyd Georges separate ap.
peal to the United States, which, the
Tribune correspondent understands,
has gone forward TO Washington, re.
mains the chief hope Of the powers
here that America viii participate in
The Hague meeting. The British Pre-
mier's communication is said to throw
more light on certain phases Of the
attitude of the powers in adjourning
the meeting here and reconvening at
The Hague. The western powers may
follow up these explanations with q
joint note asking the Washington Ad-
ministration to set forth the conditions
under which it would take part in tho
Russian discussions.
Tchitchcrin's demand that the nom
aggression truce apply to the Soviet re-
pubics allied with Russia, such as
Azerbai jah, Georgia, and the Far East
ern Republic, was agreed to by the
powers. The political sub commission,
at which the Bolshevik spokesman pro-
sented this, together with other pro-
posals, agreed to amend paragraph six
of the original Hague proposal to mako
Republic" include all the federated
states. The Japanese who have been
at odds with Russia over the Far East
efn Republic agreed to accept this
amendment, subject to ratification by
the Toxic parliament
Dutch Give Reds Assurance
The Bolshevik objection to The
Hague Is meeting place was over
ruled when the Dutch delegates offered
assurances that the Russians would be
fully protected and would have all the
rights and facilities accorded TO tho
delegates of other nations.
AS the conference has already de-
cided to refer all questions aside from
Russian relations and the non-aggres-
sion truce to the League Of Nations. to-
morrow's meeting Of the full political
commission will wind up all the real
business here and Fridays plenary ses-
sion will be nothing more than fare-
we'll
Lloyd George had a private confer
cnce this afternoon with the chief
French and Italian delegates, Louis
Barthou and Carlo Schanzer, at which
a few final details were amicably ar
ranged. Il was announced that Lloyd
George probably would dvpart for
London at 2 o'ctek Friday afternoon
and that RsrthrJ and his group Of
delegates weL,a follow an hour later.
The Bolehevis acceptance of the in
e'tn'ion 20 Tbs Hague was marred by
an ndmlxturc OF protests. demands,
suggestions and expressions of fear
Tor Russ'a's safety, while the confer
ence was IN progress.
Opposes Gcrmany's Exclusion
Tchitcherin renewed his objection to
10 sxs,psion OF Germany from Tho
Hague s':eet;ag, His expressions Of
fear from Russia's neighbors drew
from Lloyd George a long statement
and Polish delegates, in which the !.
British Premier assured Tchitcherin
that no nation wanted to jump at
Russia's throat. Baron Ishii, Sf
Japan, objected 10 the inclusion Of the
Far Eastern Republic under the truce
because Asian questions wers not ON
the agenda here, but ne finally yielded,
when. Lloyd George leaned to the
Russian view.
Lloyd George, in analyzing the fail
ure of the Genoa conference, blamed
this en- the Wilderness of the gulf be-
tween two economic systems--those Of
Russia and Of the Western powers--
but he expressed the hope that these
eventually might merge and offer
practical solution Of the present diff
hcu|ties. He said that the divergence
OF opinion had been too great to settle
in the atmosphere of this conferences,
and therefore ii would be taken up by
experts, who would explore the ground
to see whether the present difficulties
could be overcome
"There is 10 doubt that the two sys-
tens are irrcconcilable," said LLOYD
George, "but after all there is a vast
amount Of privats property in Russia.
