BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

N DEVELOPMENTS Of last week al
~ most II not quite put the Genoa
conference on the rocks. More than
that, they brought Great Britain and
France TO the verge of a rupture. AT
this writing the prospect Is dark, for
all except the soviet Russians, who
appear TO have Unanswered themselves
into just the position they wanted.
Prodded by Tchitcherln and his col
leagues to give a quick answer to the
proposals of the Russians, the allies
drew up terms which Lloyd George
declared embodied the maximum that
would be granted Russia and the mini
mum that would be demanded from
her. Summarized, these were:
Russia recognizes her prewar debt.
The war debt will be recognized,
but reduced.
Russia must restore foreign property
or indemnify the owners for damage or
contlscation.
Russia will be expected to take such
judicial and other measures as will at
tract foreigners to Russia for business
purposes.
France had yielded to the British on
the matter of absolute restoration of
contiscated property, Mt the insistence
of Lloyd George. but forced an amend
ment f%orbidding property in Russia to
be allocated TO other persons than the
former owners. To this Lloyd George
appended this rider:
IF exploitation of property al only
be carried out by its incorporation
In a general group, the preceding ar
engagements will not apply"
France then signed, but Belgium
absolutely refused to approve the prop
oSition. Barthou hurried to Paris
and Premier Poincare told him some
things that had not come out at Genoa.
Thereupon the French cabinet agreed
unanimously TO support Belgium and
withdrew the assent 10 the proposals
offered 10 Russia. This alone vas
enough to strain international rela-
uons, hut the Paris press added To it
by its explanation of the dispute over
the property clause. II made the fiat
charge that the SovietS were negotiat-
ing 10 transfer 10 English and Ger
mans oil field property that belongs
TO Frenchmen and BelgianS. and that
Lloyd George added the above men.
toned rider to further that scheme.
II did NOT Seem probable, anyhow,
that the Russians would accept the
terms offered them. They We're espe-
cially diSpleaSed with the fact that
recognition Of the soviet government
was not included, and they did nog
like the article concerning foreign
property restoration. There We're
other features that did not suit them,
and they got into communication with
Moscow, with the mtimauon that their
answer might not be ready for some
time.

Q AMUEL GOMPERS was in the pub
y lie eye and the public ear to a con-
siderable extent last week. In a May
day manifesto the venerable head Of
the American Federation of Labor
made a vigorous attack on B~olshevism,
declaring that American recognition of
the Russian soviets would constitute a
needless and base betrayal of civiliza-
ton" He denounced the BOlshevist
propaganda in this country and assert
ed that he had ample proof to substan-
tate the charges that Red" millions
have been sent 20 America for propa-
ganda purposes and that wv. q. Eos
ter, who had no money, went to Mos
cow and came back and announced
that he was building a great secret
machine to undermine the American
labor movement and turn it over TO the
Red International, owned by Lenin.
He began publication of an expensive
magazine and proclaimed "a thousand
secret agents in a thousand communi-
ties"
A few days later Mr.. Gompers was
one of the principal speakers at a
mass meeting called by the New York
branch Of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment. and in his adj
dress said that Tabor must make the
fight now. and we will never stop fight
ing until the rights of the people have
been restored TO them" Continuing.
he said: 4 and the federation 1 repre-
sent are in favor Of beer and light
wines and against any attempt to en-
force Sumptuary laws aimed at per
senal liberty. Temperance vas the

MAYHEM the fifth Pan-American con-

ton. Of reducing military expenses of
the American republics be placed upon
the agenda.

subject Of reparations was excluded,
and then detailed a number Of the pro
posals which he said Russia would not
accept.
1t is quite apparent that what the
soviet government wishes Is not a gen.
eral agreement with Europe, but sep
arate treaties with the powers, such as
she already has with Germany. 1t
probably could do this with Great
Britain and Italy and the neutral ma
lions, and probably with some other
powers, and France and Belgium
would be left in an uncomfortable Pc
sltlon. And Russia will be able to
lay on France the blame for the fail
ure of the Genoa conference.
Soviet Russia's defiant attitude to-
ward the world was demonstrated in
the May day doings at Moscow. Leon
Trotzky, minister of war, reviewed
100000 most eXcellently equipped and
drilled soldiers, and in an address de-
elared that Russia will resist until
her last drop of blood Is shed any at
tempts of the c%apitalistic governments
to enslave her."
France consented to sign the nonag-
gression pact proposed by Lloyd
George on three conditions: That
every European nation signed; that
Russia agreed to recognize all her
existing boundaries for ten years, and
that France surrendered none of her
rights to take action to enforce the
Versailles treaty. The Russians re.
jected the second of these and the
Germans the third.

TN THE United States the most In
4 teresting event of the week was the
defeat of Senator Harry S. New for
denomination in the Indiana Republic
an primaries by former Senator Albert
j.. Beveridge. Since New was running
on the record of the national admins
tration his failure was looked on as
something of a blow to that admins
tration and the regulars" in the SEN
ate were frankly disappointed. Sena-
tor Mccormick, chairman Of the Re-
publican senatorial committee, how
ever, said the committee had taken no
part in the contest and would support
the nominee energetically. Mr.. Bev-
eridge served twelve years in the SEN
ate and was a leader in the Progressive
party movement. He made his cam
paign on such planks as demands for
the repeal of the Adamson law, repeal
or amendment of the Sherman law,
adoption of a sales tax and the promo
ton of greater efficiency and wiser
economy in government.
Samuel Ralston, former governor of
Indiana, easily won the Democratic
nomination, and IL him Beveridge will
find a strong contender for the senate
seat. 1t may be that modification of
the Volstead act will become a promi-
nent issue of the campaign.
