GENOA PARLEY APR. 10
Italy Announces She Will Be
Ready at That Date.
France Receives News With Satisfac
tion as Problems to Be Discussed
Are Momentous.

Paris-April 10 has been definitely
settled upon as the date for the open
ing Of the Genoa economic conference.
Italy, from whom request for delay
has been expected owing to the extend
ed cabinet crisis last month, informed
the foreign office that she would be
ready on that date.
The French government will have
five representatives at the opening Of
the conference, one of whom is quite
likely to be Premier Poincare himself,
but for a few days only.
The Italian note announcing readi-
ness to proceed on April 10 caused
mild surprise at the French foreign
office, as it had been unofficially said
that Italy would not be willing to en-.
ter the conference during Holy week,
regardless of whether she was ready.
But the news is greeted with satisfac-
tion, as it is realized that the problems
to be discussed are momentous and
imperative.
France Plans Strong Delegation.
The present French government
AC0lo II was uulOICuudLS LNdt Iu0
French delegation as an entity could
not remain at Washington throughout
the conference for the limitation of
armaments. and an endeavor will be
made to avoid similar situation at
Genoa.
The delegates will be chosen from
among prominent French statesmen
holding full plenipotentiary powers,
but whose public duties do not neces-
state their presence in Paris during
the period of two or three months
which, in French opinion, will be the
duration of the conference.
Premier Poincare will not be able to
remain for more than a few days
owing to the fact that President Mil
lerand will be absent on a visit to the
French North African possessions and
protectorates. During the six weeks
of M. Millerand's absence, Premier
Poincares presence in Paris will be
necessitated, but the regular delegates,
whoever they may be, will remain in
Genoa throughout. They have not yet
been chosen.

LONDON CRISIS NEARING END
Resignation of Earl Of Reading as
Viceroy of Indian Inevitable.

London.-There were no further de-
velOpments in the India political crisis.
1t was stated authoritatively that an
cessor of Edwin S. Montagu, as secre-
tary for India has been postponed. 1t
was added that it was very certain the
new secretary would not be Andrew
Bonar Law. The eventual resignation
of the Earl Of Reading as vicerOy of
India is still regarded as inevitable.
The India incident has intensified the
strong feeling between the liberal and
conservative wings of the coalition
ministry. The liberal newspapers with
out exception lamend that Mr.. Montagu
allowed himself to be drawn into Il
"false STEP" But some think the re-
suit would have been the same in any
case because had he consulted the cab
met and the cabinet refused to permit
publication of the India statement. the
secretary still would have resigned as
IL protest.
Press Discusses New Developments.
While awaiting reports from India
as to the effect of Mr.. Montagu's resig-
nation, the position of Viceroy Reading
is the chief topic of discussion Of the
press. Official circles which deal with
Indian affairs do not concur in the pre-
vailing opinion that the viceroy will
necessarily follow the secretary of
state for India for quitting the govern
ment. 1t is stated that the Earl of
Reading certainly was in his right as
far as technicalities were concerned
with regard to the publication Of the
Indian statement. His action is de-
clared to have been taken evidently on
the belief that publication of the Mos
lem viewpoint concerning the settle
ment of near eastern affairs was neces-
sary and he. sought to receive sane
ton from the secretary for India, the
only official of the home government
to whom he was responsible.

Hughes Declares Proposed Con-
ference Is More Political
Than Economic.
SHUN ENTANCLEMENTS
Notes Says America Must Wait Until
Europe Sincerely Tries to Remedy
War Ravages-situatlon in
Russia Vital Factor.

Washington-The American govern
ment declined the invitation to parti-
cipate in the international economic
and financial conference to be held at
Genoa next month on the ground that
the conference is not primarily an
economic one, "but is rather a con-
ference Of political character in
which the government of the United
States could not helpfully partici-
pate"
The position of the American gov
ernment as set forth in the commu-
nication is that participation by the
United States in any general Euro.
pean conference is impossible at this
time owing to the complete failure of
European nations, in the view of the
American government, to adopt proper
measures for remedying the ravages
Of war and for insuring the stabiliza-
ton Of their economic life.
Ricci Acting for Allies.
The refusal to enter the conference
was contained in note from Secre-
tary Hughes to Ambassador Ricci of
Italy, who had presented the invita-
ton on behalf Of his government,
which, in turn, was acting for the
Allied ambassadors. Ambassador
Ricci Immediately communicated the
text of the note to his government.
The note stated that while the
American people were desirous of
suitably assisting, in the recovery Of
the economic life Of Europe, the Uni
ted States government could not be
unmindful of the "clear conviction" of
the people "that they should not un-
necessarily become involved in Eu-
ropean political questions"
Refers to Russia.
The conviction was also expressed
that all consideration of economic
revival would be futile without the
establishment in Russia of the essen
tial bases of production outlined in
the public declaration Of the Amer
ican government on March Is, 1921,
and urged that adequate action" to
that end be taken on the part of
those chiefly responsible for Russia's
present economic disorder"
In that connection, it also was
pointed out in the note that the
American government believes moth
ing should be done looking to obtain
ing economic advantages in Russia
which would impair the just oppor-
tunities Of Others" and warning was
issued that "fair and equal economic
opportunity" in Russia was expected
by the United States in the interest
Of Russia itself as we'll as that Of all
the powers.
In conclusion the note expressed
hope that progress would be made in
preparing the way for "the eventual
discussion and settlement of the fun
damental economic and financial ques-
tions relating to European recupera-
tion which press for solution"
