GENOA, May 13.-Proposals p iar-
ward by Prime Minister Lloyd orss
for the appointment of nike cc,
mission to study further the r.
questions and for the enactment of
provisional truce caused great
storm in the economic conference to-
day. Later there was a lull and at
the end of one Of the most dramatic
days of the conference there was said
to be hope of Franco British agree
ment.
Leaders Coming Together.
When it appeared certain that
mier Poincares instructions aga Gr
the Lloyd George plan made agree.
ment impossible. M. Barthou an-
nounced this evening that he and Nat.
Lloyd George had made progres so-
ward an agreement.
This announcement was SO s~s.
ling that the dignified commits
broke into applause.
While Mr.. Lloyd George appare
yielded on the point that the m xea
commissions should be appointed hy
the governments rather than by ghs
Genoa conference-one of the TIL gs
insisted on by NJ. Poincare-ht is
still fighting hard to prevent tle
French from excluding the Russi8ua
from participation on these mi ed
commissions. A compromise is now
likely by which the commissions
would be called first and the Russisns
would be let in afterward.

M. Barthou expressed the hoDe
this morning that if Russia were 2
alone while the commission, IA
which Russia was not represent q,
studied the situation the lime SO n
would come for another conferer g
at which the United States would a

United States be represented IN

Both the French and British seem
to agree that Russia needs allied
credit more than the Allies need Rus

ing and last another meeting of tha
sub commission i'm the late afternoon.
The situation earlier in the day was
undoubtedly more critical for the
conference, for the Entente and for
peace and good understanding through
out Europe than at any time since the
larmistice.
France Holds AIoof.
Yesterday the French had intimatcf
that they we're willing TO let Mr.. Lloyd
George save what prestige he could
from the wreck. This intimation was
based on the belief that NJ. Poincare
had given NJ. Barthou free hsnd
here at last. But a dispatch from
Genoa 20 Paris reciting this reached
NJ. Polncare while he was holding a
cabinet meeting He exclaimed that
such n thing would not do at all and
rushed Off TO give new instructions cf
tho most precise nature which M.
Barthou was forced to follow at the
meeting of the sub-commiseion this
morning.
The French insisted that the whole
British theory Of dealing with tho
Russians was wrong. NJ. Polucare
said that Russia must be left alone
until she was convinced that she could
not be admitted into the comfy OF
nations as long as stc held TO cop
munistlc dogmas. lie was convinced
that a policy of holding aloof would
