PARIS, June 3.--Premier Poincare
In memorandum forwarded yes
terady to the United States govern
ment and to all powers which have
received Invitations to attend The
Hague conference on economic at
fairs. demands that the soviet gov
ernment withdraw It's memorandum,
presented at the Genoa conference on
May IL as condition for French
participation at Tho Hague meeting
with the Russians.
Involves Old Attitude.
NJ. Poincare holds that the memo
randum was a soviet document, re-
plying to a memorandum OF the IN
viting powers and that 1t should be
treated in the same way as the orig
inal Russian memorandum, since II
confirmed the attitude OF the soviet
government with respect to refusal
to restore the property of foreigners.
indemnify owners for damages sus-
tained or recognize the Russian
debt. The original Russian memo
randum at Genoa was Withdrawn
by Russia after allied objections TO
II had been expressed.
The Russians the French premier
maintains, have never accepted any
of the principles laid down as con-
ditions for negotiations for the re-
construction OF Russia, with the ex-
ception of the provision that the
various nations cannot claim mutual
rights TO dictate the principles for
each others interior policy. He
points out what he considers an
error made by the soviet representa-
tives at Genoa in apparently regard
ing foreign governments as CONTROL
kling capital as well as public and
private property. He notes that
the disposition OF capital Is in fact
in the hands OF private owners, while
the disposition OF public property
alone depends upon the will of the
national parliaments.
Must Satisfy Capitalists.
Therefore, the French premier
argues, conditions OF security In
vestments must satisfy private hold
ers of capital, the governments being
unable to control this capital. their
only say being to INDICATE the man
ner In which the best guarantees
may be obtained.
The memorandum rejects totally
the claim of $4,000, 100000 gold
! rubles damages for the allied par
ticipation In military operations
against the soviet regime las founded
on inadmissable pretensions and the
most faulty calculations"
Agriculture Main Factor.
NJ. Poincare holds that the first
requisite to the restoration of Russia
depends on the agricultural produc-
tion and expresses the view that Ia
impossible until the soviet authori-
ties decide to give the peasants assur-
ance that they will be able to enjoy
/ tho frififa of THAR lahOr.
M. Poincare declares the work OF
be prepared for by a clear and COM
piete plan to which the soviet au-
| thorities must subscribe before
negotiations are resumed with
them.
Replies to this memorandum with
suggestions are expected from the
powers to which 1t is addressed.
WASHINGTON. June 3.-The new
French memorandum regarding pro
posed Russian discussions at Th'
Hague had not reached the state
department today, and until theI

declined TO comment on 1t.
Heretofore there has been no In
dication that the United States care,
to become involved in "A debate or

sympathy Of the Washington govern

the French premier. The position
here has been that this government
