Special Cable to The Tribune

PARIS, March 2S.-The League Of
Nations will send delegates to the Ge-
noa international economic conference
next month in an advisory capacity, but
50 far as any preparations for the
gathering or for enforcing its de-
cisions IS concerned, the League Coun-
ell, at is final session here to-day deftly
sidestepped all responsibility.
Two reasons were brought out WHY
the League could not accept at this
tune the Allied invitation to help plan
the Genoa conference and promise to
put INTO effect any conclusions that
might be reached there The first
that the invitation was too vague as
to exactly what was and would be eX-
pected Of the League The second.
that the Council felt it must wait and
see whether the Genoa conference
would provide money 10 defrav the cost
OF carrying out its decisions.
Final Decision Deferred
Consequently it was plain tonight
mat the part which the League would
play at Genoa depended on the nations
Gohlefrlng there. Afterward the
League Council can meet again and
knowing definitely what is asked. can
decide whether to accept the responsi-
nlilty The resolution adopted bv the
Council this afternoon read:
In view of the Italian governments
request the Council authorizes the
occretarlat al Geneva TO take the nee
cssarY measures TO give the conference
it's technical collaboration"
This technical aid is in response to
the italian governments request that
the league send its experts on trans
port. financial and economic subjects
to the conference with data on these
subjects.
Leon Bourgeois member of the
Council for France, attached what
might be called a minority report to
the Councii's resolution, pointing out
that France already had publicly de-
clared that to the league should be
given the rosponsi biity for tho an
ptlcation and execution Of The recon-
mendations of the conference under
the powers given the league by the
treaty of Versailles"
Britain and France Disagree
The Councils decision reflected
somewhat the radical disagreement
| that has arisen between France and
Nreat Britain on the part which the
league should play at Genoa. Lord
Fisher was in Paris Sunday explain
ing to Bourgeois that Great Britain
dld not accept the French view that
/ the league should have the response
hlilty o. administering the decisions.
/ he British stand is that something
| permanent viii come out Of the Genoa
gathering that Will take care of it's
own enforcing. BY sde-stepping the
issue the League of Nations put the
question up to the Genoa meeting for
settlement.
