GENOA, May 12.-CUnited Press)
The Russian reply has divided the
Allies.
The powers which met at Cannes
and later convened the Genoa con-
ference as a group today were split
into two hostile camps as result OF
the argumentatsve document form
ally presented to the Allied con
ferees by NJ. Tchitcherin yesterday
The French refuse TO accept the
reply and viii withdraw from furth-
er discussion OF the Russian problem
they announce.
The British and Italians wish TO
accept the reply and go on with as
eusion OF other phases Of the Kus-
sian problem not barred by the re-
calcitrant tone OF the soviet note.
The fate OF Genoa hung In the
balance while the conferees waited
to hear from Paris.
Premier Poincare has declared the
Russian reply completely unsatis-
factory" but the question agitatins
Genoa was whether the French dele
CATION would be recalled. It was
believed that the French would con-
fine their withdrawal to ceasing 10
partlcipate in discussions OF the
Russian problem.
As for the soviet reply itself. Il
was much more severe than any OF
the Authoritative forecasts" which
were so widely published. In fact It
resembled them very little.
The soviet delegation has rejected
the Allied proposal for determina-
ton Of private property rights In
Russia.
It renewed its demands for large
loan and for payment OF damages !
done by counter revolutions headed !
BY the Denlken. Wrangel. KolchaS
and other white Russians"
The Russian note also withdrew
outright recognition OF Russia's
pre-war debts which had at first
been agreed to by Tchitcherin. !
While the note had in spots been /
modified by the Russians. due TO
Senator Schanzer's intervention
It had also been siffen- 7
a entirely beyond Allied expecta- c
ions due to wireless instructions d
rom Lenine. {
The one hopeful touch in the en- !
ire document, which covered IS &
,ages, was the proposal for a Joint
10 study the financial
differences existing between the (
Soviet government and the Allies. {
Upon this proposal, Lloyd George I
ard the Italians PIN their hopes for
continuing the conference. While
Inc British would not say SO, It is
believed they are prepared to go
ahead with this commission, even
IL the French withdraw. They are ]
waiting. however. for France to act.
The French now are claiming they
are not particularly Interested in
the Russian answer, since they did
not sign the Allied note to which II
replies.
The Russian proposal for a Joint
commission TO study finance was de- {
signed TO remove this difficult ques- !
ion from the realm Of the Genoa !
and permit the conferees
iere to continue discussion OF po- S
Itical and economic aspects OF n
sussia's relations with the rest OF 81
he world. u

he conference was to meet this VI
fternoon TO consider the reply as
