Washington. AaJ lS.-The final
word OF the Un.'rd States on the

ference is that this government will
not participate in a Russian confer

This government will gladly join
an allied commission OF experts to
investigate the economic condition Of
Russia, with the hope OF recon-
mendlng steps that will lead to pro-
duetiyity there, but will not discuss
political phases Of the Russian situa-
tion until after economic conditions
are restored.
Continuation of the Genoa confer
ence at The Hague would only be a
menace to the Russian people, be-
cause it has held ont false political
hopes to them, this government be-
lieves.
