Warns Genoa Supporters
That America Expects
FairAnd Equal Economic
Opportunities In Russia
IRepubTTean A.P. Leased wIrsY

WASHINGTON, March 8. - The
American government today declined
the invitation TO participate in the
international economic and financial
conference to be held at Genoa next
month on the ground that the con-
ference is not primarily an economic
one, but is rather a conference OF
political character in which the gov
ernment Of the United States could
not helpfully participate" The re-
fusal TO enter the conference was
contained in note from Secretary
Hughes to Ambassador Ricci OF Italy,
who had presented the invitation on
behalf of his government, which in
turn was acting for the allied am
baSsadors. Ambassador Rioci imrie-
diately communicated the text OF the
note to his government
The note stated that while the
American people were desiroua OF
suitably assisting IN the recovery OF
the economic life OF Europe, the
United States government could not
bo unmindfuI of the "clear conviction"
OF the people that they should not
unnecessarily become involved in
European political questions"
The conviction also was expressed
that all considerations OF econornic
revival would be futile without the
establishment in Russia OF tho essen
tal bases OF production outlined IN
the public declaration OF the Anerf-
can government on March 90, 1891,
and urged that adequate action 20
that end be taken on the part OF
those chiefly responsible for Rue
sia's present economic disorders"
In that connection Il also was
pointed out in the note that the
American government believes moth
Ing should be done looking to the oh
tanning Of economic advantages in
Russia which would impair the Just
opportunities OF Others" and warn
ing was issued that flair and equal
economic opportunity in Russia was
expected by the United States IN
the interest OF Russia itself as well
as that Of all the powers.
In conclusion the note expressed
hope that progress would be made ir
preparing the way for ''the eventual
discussion and settlement OF the fun

PARLEY
ON
PACIFIC PACT
Senator Lodge Declares
Defeat Of Four Power
Treaty Means Failure Of
Armament Conference
rRepubIican A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. March s--Friends
and opponents of the four power
Pacific treaty in the senate met their
first general skirmisll today at a
four hour stormy session which
touched on virtually every disputed
question of the arms conference pro-
gram.
Taking the initiative for the ad-
ministration, Senator Lodge of Mass
achusetts, the Republican leader and
a member of the American arms con-
ference delegation. told the senate
in a carefully prepared address that
the four power pact had its main
purpose" in abrogation of the Angle
Japanese alliance, and that If ratifi-
cation was defeated it meant failure
Of the conference"
Senator Reed, Democrat Of Mis-
souri,, said that either the treaty
contemplated more than the Repub-
ncan leader had admitted or else it
was a farce" and a piece Of Inter
national bic kum." In the national
policies of Great Britain and Japan
were such as to make continuance of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance a real
menace to the United States. the
Missouri senator declared. no prom

was written on.
Support OF the treaty was ex-
pressed by Senator Fletcher. Demo
crat OF Florida, while Senators Rob-
inson, Democrat of Arkansas; Wat
son, Democrat Of Georgia; Borah, Re
publican OF Idaho; and France, Re
publican of Maryland, Joined with
Senator Reed in attacking it The
debate eventually involved discus
sion OF all the arms conference
treaties and resulted in several spir-
tied clashes between the leaders on
opposing sides.
One Of the many subjects on which
Senator Reed cross questioned Mr..
Lodge was the celebrated difference
of view" between President Harding
and the American delegation as TO
application Of the four power pact
TO the homeland of Japan The Re
publican leader insisted that there
had been no understanding" among
the delegates for inclusion of the
homeland within the treaty's scope,
and that the supplemental treaty on
that subject had been signed because
Japan had asked for change in the
original agreement.
Harding Replies to Borah
While the debate was in progress
President Harding replied to the
senate's request for information
about the status of the Lansing
Ishii agreement with Japan, declar-
ing in a special senate message that
no provision of the agreement in
conflict with the open door policy
could remain in force after conclu.
sion of the general Far Eastern
treaty signed at the conference.
Senator Borah. who was the au-
thor of the resolution of inquiry, told
the senate that the Presidents con-
clusions did not coincide with those
OF Japanese statesmen. but added
that since the Lansing Ishii agree

COAL MINERS
UNITED FOR
WIDE
WAGE FIGHT
Illinois Coal Miners Will
Be Governed By Interna-
tional Decision In Nego-
tiating Wage Agreement

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March g.
No split OF union forces over the
prospective coal strike on April /
was expected tonight by officials of
the United Mine Workers of America
to result from any negotiations that
may be held in Illinois towards ef-
fectlng a wage agreement for that
state alone. A message from Frank
Harrington, Illinois district president
and leader of the anti administration
faction within the union, was declared
by the officials here to mean that
Mr.. harrington would be governed by
the decision on single state agree
ments that will be made by the
unions policy committee, on which
the administration officials will have
a majority following.
This announcement by the union
leaders here was regarded as in
creasing the likelihood OF a wallSout
of miners on April ], and also as
removing possible entering wedge
IN the nationwide strike threat by
single state agreements keeping
some miners at work. The Earring
ton message, sent from ST. Louis,
where Illinois officials met to con-
slider the single state agreement pro-
posal, asserted that negotiations
would be entered into by the miners
unless an interstate conference were
arranged, but X was regarded as
adding in effect that Illinois would
in the end be governed by. the policy
committee decision.
In telegram TO Mrs harrington,
answering his message which was
not made public here, the executive
board said:
We are pleased to know it is the
purpose OF the executive board OF
district IL, 0iIinois) to comply with
the decision of the International ex-
ecutiye board which decision was the
policy outlined by the recently re-
convened wage convention. We are
also glad to know that the executive
board of district IL is willing to have
their action determined by the policy
committee created by the interna-
tional convention. Your acquiescence
in this matter viii no doubt set at
rest many untrue reports that dis
trict IL executive board proposes to
make a separate district wage agree
ment without the consent of the in
policy committee"
The boards message apparently
conflicted with the announcement
made at st. Louis Of Mr.. Earring
tons message which had been re-
garded as precipitating crisis in
the union with the possibility OF a
split in the forces on the threatened
strike OF April. The St Louis an
nouncement said Mr.. harrington
would attempt to negotiate a separate
wage agreement unless an interstate
wage, conference for the central COM
petitive field We're arranged by the
union and this was said
by international President John J.
Lewis to be substantially correct"
Mr.. Lewis statement was relayed
from the boards meeting by his sec
retary who had brought out the an
Of the boards message.
Presumably Mr.. harrington had In
effect said that any Illinois action
was subject to approval by the In
union committee.

RADIO OPERATOR
ON DOOMED SHIP
JESTS At DEATH
IN M|D-ATLANT


NEW YORK, Mar. s-The grim
humor OF a wireless operator, who
laughed at death and flashed the
striking bits Of wit into the ether as
his ship. the Norwegian steamer
Grontoft. wallowed and slowly sank
during a mid Atlantic hurricane last
Thursday, was recorded on the radio
long OF the Danish steamer Estonis,
arriving today.
Each detail Of the ships plight,
each call for aid, was supplemented
by the testing comment of the radio
man. whose identity is still unknown.
He talked as IL he were going on a
lark In port. instead OF to the bottom
of the sea. Ills last message. a dis
tointed one was a series Of wittscisms
with death as the butt OF the Joke.
Tho Estonia. herself hard hit in
the ll0-mile gale. made a valiant but
unsuccessful effort 10 reach the
Grontolf which first sent out calls for
aid at 10 o'clock last Thursday morn
ing, reporting. her position as about
zoo miles east of Cape Race.
The Estonia at that time was 4S
miles west Of the disabled Norwegian
and steaming in an opposite direc-
ton. Captain Hans Jorgensen or
dered his ship about and she steamed
slowly toward the Grontoft.
Meanwhile Radio Operator Hansen
engaged the operator OF the Grontoft
in conversation. The latter sent out
his first, the following g-stereotyped
irony OF the seas:
God pity the poor sailors on
night like this" Then followed a
series of "ha. hs'
And say" he continued. "the old
man thinks this calm will be over
by nightfall we sure need some
breeze.
An hour later an urgent call for
aid was sent out by the Grontoft and
her operator TESTED again.
We'll, the steward is making sand
wlches for the lifeboats. Looks like
we were going on picnic"
Again half hour later he sent:
The old wagon has a list like a
rundown heel. This IL no weather

The Grontoft did not reply until 40
later. Them:

The Estonia's operator quoted in

LONDON DISAPPOINTED

LONDON, Mar S.--The news Lbat
the United States has declined The
invitation to participate in the Genoa
conference is extremely disappoint- =
ing TO all the supporters OF the Genoa
project. The view Is held here that
the absence Of the United States IS
bound TO detract from the usefulness
Of any decisions adopted at the con
ference, for European economists are
increasingly convinced that the Ye
habiiitation of central Europe is Pos
sible only with the cooperation OF
the United States.
In Germany the disappointment Is
likely 10 be quite as keen. the inpor-
tsnce attached to American partici-
patton being shown by b. Rathenau's
recent speech on the subject. italy Is
believed to feel as Great Britain. but
the French government is thought 20
be quite lukewarm about the project
and the fact that America has de-
clined to participate will add strength
to the French objections and fortify
the French demand that questions
concerning reparations and treaties
shall be rigidly excluded from the
purview OF the conference.
Americas refusal can hardly be
without effect on the British prime
minister plans. IL Is KNOWN Inat
Mr.. Lloyd George has built great
hopes on the conference and its eX
pected results as a political asset in
the coming inevitable appeal to the
country. With America taking part
great things might have been looked
for, promising a revival OF European
trade and extended markets for Brit.
ish goods TO the benefit of the serious
unemployment situation in this coun-
try. II is recognized that without the
participation OF America it win be
deprived Of something OF its Signifi-
canoe.

Scientist More
Mysterious Than
Canadian Ghost
TRepubIIcan A, p. Leaeed NNIreJ


CALEDONIA MILLS. NOVA SEQ
TIA, Mar. S---Antigonish today had
two nlysteries-the famous ghost
whose uncanny pranks drove Alex
Macdonald and his family from their
comfortable farm house into a Nova
Scotian blizzard, and DR.. Walter
Franklin Prince, American scientist
who came here to bait the eerie one
in his lair.
The difference between the two
was one Of degree only. The ghost
kept out of sight entirely and the
physician though visible as he sour
ried here and there. proved almost
as much Of a problem for the MEM
bcrs of the party of spook stalkers.
DR.. Prince announced this morning
that his first night in the haunted"
house had passed uneventfully. But.
working on the logician's axiom that
no amount of negative observations
prove the non-existence OF the OBJ
ject of scientific study, he refused to
take this to mean that there was no
ghost.
His first care Of the day was for
the strange contrivance of string and
little bells, constituting the ghost
trap with which he surrounded him
self last night. This he carefully
wound up, examined and tucked away
into a case with thoughtful air. But
If his magic bells told him anything.
he was disinclined to make conf
dants of the newspaper men and 9TH
ers who make up his encourages. All
day he remained inscrutable.
After the mornings investigation
DR.. Prince sought quarters in farm
house about two miles away and
started work on his report Of the
proceedings thus far.
According to the housewife, he was
working all the afternoon at a prod
igous rate as If he had something
to set down.

IRISH CONSTITUTION
IS SCOMPLETE, AWAITS
GOVERNMENT ACTION


DUBLIN. March S-The Irish Free
State constitution which has occu-
pied the time of the drafting com
mittee for the past month, has been
completed. but has not yet been con-
sidered by the provisional govern
meut and will not have force until
the provisional government has sp-
proved it.
It has been conjeCtured that the
recent decision OF the Ard FheiS that
the constitution must be submitted
to a vote of the people, would oblige
the provisional government TO adopt
a more advanced document than it
would have done If the Anglo Irish
treaty had first been Endorsed by the
country and the drafting OF the con-
stitution left to an assembly
There is no ground for stating,
however. that the Ard Fheis deci-
sion made no change in the proceed .
ure of the drafting committee.
The constitution must follow the
treaty closely, because it has to be
passed by the British parliament and
Arthur Griffith and his colleagues
are under the pledge that once they
have submitted the text to the Irish
people they will resist every attempt
at alteration by the British. There
fore, it is considered necessary to
make the document water tight from
the start. 1t is understood that the
constitution provides that the free
state parliament shall have two
chambers and that the franchise for
the house of representative shall
be on wide basis.
The constitution proceeds upon the
principle that Ireland is a unit, but
provides that Ulster may contract
out if she so desires. Until the pro-
Visionel government. however. has
examined and recast the commit
tees draft nothing can be regarded
as absolutely definite.
