Reply Termed "stupid. !"


A statement OF the British view
on the Russian reply terms the
document very stupid from the
viewpoint of Russian interest" but
says Great Britain is not prepared
to adopt the view that Europe is
to be denied peace or the Russian
people further consideration In
their misery simply because of a
stupid argument.
"As fargas Russia>is concerned" !"
continued the statement, help
will undoubtedly be placed and
rendered more difficult but that is
an affair of the Russian govern
ment. We are quite prepared to
go into the suggestion that the
questions of credits. debts and Dri-
yate property be referred to mix
ed commission which will study
them in detail and eventually re-
port, although this means that
Russia will have to wait some
time longer for credits.
Regarding the other aspect of
the Russian document, namely,
the peace of Europe, this affords
satisfactory basis for further ne
gotiations. TO break on this doc
ument would mean that the states
bordering on Russia might be ex-
posed to the dangers Of war, and

Poincare To Decide

Genoa, May 12.-The fate of
the Geona conference may be set
tied today in Paris, in the opinion
of many of the delegates, and the
decision of Premier Poincare on
the Russian reply to the allied
lenemorandum was awaited here
with anxiety.
Prime Minister Lloyd George of
Great Britain and Signor Schanzer,
Italian foreign minister have used
all their influence with the chief
of the French delegation, M.
Barthau. to impress on him that
the Russian note, although not as
favorable as was hoped, still
leaves the door open for discussion,
and perhaps for general agree
ment.
Can Break Up Session
They urged him to reflect this
opinion in his dispatches to the
premier. 1t is believed, il left to
themselves, the majority Of the
powers will favor continuance of
the discussion, but If France with
draws from the conference GER
tain OF the other powers will fol
low her.
The number of such nations
might be enough to make impos-
sibles hope of agreement with the
soviet, even If Mr. Lloyd George is
willing to continue the conference
without France. The latter con
tingency is improbable, however
considering the storm OF protest
such an indication of the collapse
of the entente might raise in
England.
