Genoa, May S.-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-Prime Minister Lloyd
George of Great Britain. and For
eign Minister Schanzer of Italy, ad-
dressed today a strong appeal to
the Russian Representatives at the
conference here urging them to ac-
cept the allied memorandum in its
main points and promisoing Rus
sia an international loan with the
understanding that the lending
countries would thus provide funds
for the reconstruction of Russia
The allies would claim the right
to make sure however that the
money loaned was actually invest
ed in the work of reconstruction.
Reds Demand Is Big.
It was asserted that altogether the
proposed loan would amount to
800, ,000, 900 gold francs. 1t has been
declared that the Russians were
asking for three billion gold rubles
or 25 times as much as the allied
offer.
The Russian delegation had pre-
viousIy issued statement de-
nouncing the efforts it alleged
France and Belgium had made to
wreck the conference. The state
meRt called attention to the fact
that these powers, which we're pre-
dieting that Russia's refusal to &C
cept the memorandum would break
the conference up, had not them
selves signed the memorandum.
