NOTE To RUSSIA
GOES WITHOUT
FRENCH ASSENT
Genoa Delegation Says
It Must First Get In
structions From Paris.

Genoa, May 2-(By The Associated
Press THE draft of the allied pro-
posals to Russia for the reconstruction
of that country was sent to the Rus
sian delegation Tuesday night, with
an amendment offered by the French
to the clause relating to restitution
Of, or compensation for. private prop
erty nationalized by Russia, and with a
French reservation declaring that the
French delegation withholds its final
approval until further instructions are
received from Paris.
The Belgians did not attend the
meeting of the Subcommittee on Rus.
sian affairs Tuesday afternoon, and
the French delegates came late. The
memorandum twas dispatched without
the signatures of the Belgians.
French Reluctant to Yield
1t was rumored that the French did
not understand that the meeting was
fixed for o'clock, but when they ar
rived at 4:30 it was clear they had
remained away for further consider
alton as to whether they would stand
by the Belgians. NJ. Barrere astound-
ed the sub-commission by announcing
thok thC ICASh uClckutIOu COulu NOT
approve the memorandum without
further discussions at Paris.
Premier Lloyd George expressed
great amazement at this, saying that
Nj. Barthou had told him Tuesday
morning that the matter had been set
tied. NJ. Barrere explained that his
action was based on messages received
from Paris after NJ. Barthou left to
confer with Premier Poincare and the
French cabinet.
Propose Amendment to Note
Finally at Mr.. Lloyd Georges re-
quest NJ. Barrere consNted to propose
an amendment to the nationalized
property clause and allow the amend.
ed draft to be sent to the Russian
delegation. with the French reserva-
ton setting forth that the French were
unable to give formal approval until
further word had been received from
Paris, after NJ. Barthou had seen Pre-
mier Poincare.
This leaves the entire draft In what
is described as a very unsatisfactory
condition and affords abundant oppor-
tunity for the Russians to offer oh.
jections.
French Plan More Drastic
The French amendment makes the
article more drastic and provides that
Russia shall give distinct assurances
regarding the nature of the tenure
which foreigners are to enjoy when
their property is returned to them.
property has been the
basis OF virtually all the differences
OF opinion in the sub-commission.
Belgium has stubbornly held out for
more definite restoration. and France
has taken virtually the same position
throughout the negotiations. England.
on the other hand, has led the other
powers in supporting policy more
nearly in line with the bolshevik offer
to restore merely the use Of nation
allied property. instead Of freehold.
