French Define
Hague Conditions
Soviets Must Agree to Recog.
nize Debts Before France
Will Attend.

Paris, June 4.-The French gov
ernment announced the conditions
under which it will attend The Hague
conference and participate in study
Of the methods for reconstructing
Russia.
Qusi dOrsay's memorandum COW
ers every objection that the Ameri-
can government made to participate
ing in the discussion of Russia. 1t
was handed to all countries expect
ed to attend The Hague conference.
A copy was given Ambassador Her.
rick for Washington.
The salient points in the document
follow:
! The Russian note OF May II, in
which the soviets refused to recog-
nize their debts and to restore prop
erty to foreigners must be retired.
2. The conference at The Hague
must be confined entirely to eco
nomic and financial phases of the
Russian question and the delegates to
the June IS and June 20 meetings
must be experts.
3. The soviets must recognize all
their war and prewar debts and they
must return confiscated property to
foreigners unless it is materially i'm
possible, and they must drop all
counter claims against the allies.
4. The conditions affecting COM
merce and industry in Russia must
be profoundly changed, for The
Hague conference to be worth UNDER
taking.
S. Until the Russian peasant can
be sure OF enjoying the product of
his labor, which is a matter for the
soviet regime to adjust, it is use-
less to discuss the restoration of Rus
sia.
The purpose of the note is not only
to lay down the guarantees which
France will demand, but to point out
the necessity of defining the exact
scope and working methods of the
conference. 1t insists particularly
that the representatives of the June
meeting must not be diplomats.

Daugherty were assailed in ths
senate by Senator Stanley, demo-

senate attack on Secretary Hoover

Senator Stanley, interpreting the
presidents remarks on the basis OF
some newspaper accounts" to refer
to criticism of all cabinet officers
including Mr.. Daugherty, said Mr.:
Harding was attempting ito stiflc il
not to muzzle" the press.
Turning his fire on the attorney
general, the senator accused him OF
having, by his Chicago speech, served
public notice on applicants for the
judgeships that they must not say
anything in criticism of Mr.. Daugh-
erty if they expected appointment to
the bench.
Reading from dispatch in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger in which
it was said that the press had taken
"two-fsted fling at the political
blackguards" who attacked execu-
tive officers, Senator Stanley
wanted to know who were these
political blackguards who are as
