By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 2s-Under q

States and Canada will continue In
operation for another two weeks.
In the interim, 10000 labor men Will

before them or reject them and strike.
1t is expected the vote will be COM
pleted by May 10, when delegates and
manufacturers will meet in New York

The truce was tho result Of q series
Of conferences following the manufac-
turers' announcement that, at tho ex-
piration of the present. contract, next
Sunday midnight, they proposed to re-
duce the wage Of skilled men 10 per
cent and to eliminate all extra compen.
sation for overtime.
When the delegates refused to con.
slider this proposal, and. threatened to
strike II wages were cut, the manufac-
turers countered with an offer to with
draw their previous demands II they
would be permitted to pay unskilled
labor according to prevailing rates in
tho various localities
The labor delegates refused to sign q
contract which. they asserted, would
create open-shop conditions among S0,-

forces, eight days after the family
was murdered.
To the Associated Press NJ. Sokoloff
said today:
"It is materially impossible for me
to give all the facts proved by the
inquiry. 1 Investigated the crime at
the scene and 1 affirm that the in
ouiry conclusively and indubitably
proves the murder of the imperial
family was decided at Moscow.
Ekaterinburg, where the murders oc-
Cured in the night between July To-
II, 1918. only carried out instruc-
tions received from Moscow. 1t IS
murder was directed by the presi-
dent of the central executive commit
tee, Jacob Sverloff. He gave the
necessary instructions to- Shaia Co
lostchokin, rural district military
commissary, who was at MOSCOW
just before the murders.
Participants in Crime.
"It was Golostchokin who returned
to Ekaterinburg with instructions. 1t
was he who directed the crime with
the assistance Of Alexander Beloboro-
doff, president of the district soviet.
The latter now holds high place in
the soviet republic.
THE actual carrying out OF the
crime was intrusted to Commissary
Jacob Yurovski, he being one OF the
leaders of the district cheka, or ex-
traordinary committee for combating
counter-revolution.
1.-THE bolshevists lie in their state
ment that Moscow was cut of from
Ekaterinburg at the time of the crime
because of the Czechoslovakia occu-
patton. 1t is proved that communl-
cation between Moscow and Ekater-
inburg was not cut off until July 20
when the bolshevists lost the city.
The ciphered telegram which quote
was sent by Beloborodoff, the local
president. on July II, from Ekaterin-
burg to Gorbeunoff, secretary of the
soviet of the peoples commlssary at
MOSCOW. At that time Tchitcherin
occupied a high place in the soviet
republic. and it is therefore more
than improbable that Tchitcherin was
NOT aware the telegram had been re-
ceived.
Details Of the Murder.
"My inquiry further established
beyond question of doubt the
manner in which the imperial family
and the members Of the household
we're murdered. The czar and car
ina and their four daughters. their
family doctor, the cook, footman and
chambermaid were shot to death in
the basement of the house Of 1patieff,
where the family had been under ar
rest. The party was ordered to the
basement under expectation OF being
removed from the zone of fighting.
'Imme ediately after the murders all the
bodies were taken on motor truck
under cover of darkness. to an aban-
doned mine fourteen kilometers from
Ekaterinburg. There the bodies were
dismembered and destroyed by fire
and sulphuric acid. ss6 pounds Of the
acid and ten gallons of gasoline being
used. The work of destroying the
bodies lasted until the morning of
July 49,"

BY FRANK "A. VANDERBILT.

GENOA, April 29.-underneath the
maneuyering and political byplay
here, two great subjects are being
most earnestly considered-non-ag-
gression and Russia.
Premier Lloyd George has said that
the conference will be a failure with
out a pact between the powers on
non-aggression. His original con-
ception of this was a ten-year agree
ment by all the powers represented
here to make no aggressive attack.
Such an agreement would be some
thing less than article X of the
league of nations.
Discussions Modify Idea.
Discussions between the leaders Of
the delegations here have materially
modified this idea of Mr.. Lloyd George.
The view likely to prevail now is
that such a pact will provide that
sanctions be given to certain nations
provided they agree to have the sane
tions repel only particularly and
specified acts Of aggression. One OBJ
lection to the original pact was that
1t might result in sabotage of exist
ing treaties. 1t was also argued
that, If the pact concerns itself only
with aggression. the door would be
left open along every undetermined
border to exercise propaganda and
the influence of plebiscites and to
violate the condition OF treaties and
international engagements. To sign
a pact that guarantees an indefinite
boundary is like signing a check
without filing in the amount. 1t Is
proposed, therefore. to exempt from
the pact the eastern frontier of Po-
land and a few others. There may be
some action here on such indefinite
frontiers. but this is only the begin
ming of this knotty problem.
Franco-Britlsh Alliance Up.
| Yet another, and the most difficult
feature OF a pact for non-aggression
is the extreme need Of France for
positive protection from Germany and
from an attack by Germany in the
future. France. 1t is believed. cannot
be brought to agree to such a pact
unless Great Britain completes an
alliance with her, guaranteeing her
active help in the event of an attack
by Germany.
So Mr.. Lloyd George can secure his
pact, II he pleases. at the expense of
Great Britain's alliance with France.
It Is admitted that the fundamental
interests and aims Of Great Britain
and France are divergent. England
must have an economically restored
market in Europe for her goods.
France, being self-supporting, desper-
ately fears the economic rehabiltta-
tion Of Germany because that means
the rehabilitation Of Germany's war
strength. The only ground on which
France will change her position will
be an alliance with Great Britain.

Nanderlip Says Peace Treaty
Hangs on FIunco-B1itish Pact

The greatest and most important de-
cision now to be made is as to which
course England will follow.
Show Libernk Concessions.
With regard to Russia. from the
point of view of the powers. the pro-
posals to be presented represent
liberal concessions: from the Russian
point of view these proposals are not
acceptable. The Russians say they
must have cash and credit. They
insist 1t is idle to attempt a piece
meal reconstruction Of Europe; such
a thing must be undertaken with an
extremely large credit. Europe is
not prepared to pledge such a credit.
A program has been developed
which contemplates that no agree
ment be made with Russia and the
question be taken up again in ninety
days after the Russians have had
time to consider the situation. The
word has reached Genoa that Mos
COW Is not pleased with the Russo
German treaty. The feeling at Mos
cow is that Germany owes Russia
more than Russia owes Germany. and
that the mutual cancellation of debts
is to Russia's disadvantage. That
Russia will agree to annul her treaty
with Germany is possible, 1t is be-
lieved.

GENOA. April 2S.-The official sum-
mary of the draft of the French pro-
posals regarding Russia, which be-
gins with a general exposition Of the
problem of the restoration of Russia,
as France sees 1t, follows:
1.-The restoration of Russia should,
above all things. be carried out in
the interest of Russia herself. AS
soon as foreigners are given the
necessary security, namely, certitude
that their persons. property rights
and profits from labor shall be re-
spected, they will bring to Russia
their technical assistance and cap
ital.
Farm Rec0natructiOn First.
Agricultural reconstruction should
come before other things. This can be
carried out by land concessions
do this it is necessary that any
lessee of soil should he assured of
the fruits of his labor. A system Of
long-term credits, in which should
participate cooperative organiza-
tions and for which the guarantees
able to furnish people developing the
soil ample agricultural material, seed
and fertilizer. Veterinary missions
could be sent into Russia without de-
lay to check animal diseases.
"Russia's industry was, for the
most part, in the hands Of foreign
owners. 1t would only be sufficient
to have these foreign owners go back
and give them the indispensable
guarantees. They undoubtedly would
carry with them the technical per-
sonnel. machinery. food and capital
which would have the effect of re-
starting Russia's industries.
Transport Needs Improvement.
needs immediate Improvement. This
task could be delegated to companies
who would repair all the railway
material Certain countries are al
ways ready to furnish Immediately
to Russia an appreciable quantity Of
rolling stock.
The financial assistance which all
this presupposes could be supplied by
an international consortium and by
branches Of this consortium in for
eign countries, the formation of
which already has been decided on to
help in the economic reconstruction
of Europe. To that can be added ad-
vances> which certain countries are
, citizens who intend to locate in Rus
sia. as well as private credits which
contractors will find available from
their national banks when there is
| reasonable assurance that their work
will succeed"
After this preamble, which it will
be observed traces the general lines
of economic assistance for Russia,

articles which France thinks should

tracts made by 1t or by it's ~prede-
cessors. The soviet will promise also
to recognize, or to have recognized

by public utility companies.
Must Promise Agreement.
Article FIVE exacts a promise from

ment is impossible. then the soviet

of which the president would be ap-
pointed by the Chief Justice of the
United States Supreme Court. or the
league of nations or the president of
the international court of justice (pre-
sumably the court Of international
justice at The Hague).
Article six deals with the restitu-
tion of private property to former
foreign owners. 1t says Russia should
return this property with indemnity.
because it's owners have been de-
prived of it's use, and also cover dam
ages to the property. This refers to
property rights and interests that
still exist and, can be established.
When it Is impossible to restore or
replace this property, or when dis
agreement arises. the mixed arbitra-
tion tribunal will fix all indemnities

companies in which the control of
foreigners is important will be reor-
ganized in order to protect former

mites mentioned In article six will
be fixed by the issue Of new Russian

decided on by the arbitration tribunal.
