The Genoa conference has 3D.
journed without results In the
ostensible purpose for which The
meeting was called--thc rehab'
ilitatios sf trade relations be-
tween the natIons Of Europe
Another effort In the same
direction ID now To bs made as
new meeting which will as
sambls at The Hague. A In the
Genoa conference, the govern
ment OF the United States also
declines the invitation to be
present At The Hague confer
ence, the reason for the declina-
tion in both cases being the
same-that this country cannot
with consistency toward its es'
tablished policy jein in the
discussion OF political problems
belonging exclusively 70 Europe.
It is worthy Of note, that after it
was found that the United States
would not be present at the
Genoa meeting no real interest
was shown by the nations gath
cred there In arriving at any
concerted conclusion based upon
mutual good feeling for the
bettermsnt Of trade relations
among themselves. What dis.
cussion there was centered
upon who should exploit the
trade and resources Of Russia,
with national suspicious and
jealousies interfering at every
poin. against a harmonious deei'
sion on even that question. So il
is pretty plain that the ostensi'
bic object Of the Genoa meeting
was not the real one. The deep,
underlying purpose, disguised
with the pretence of interest in
Europe's future friendly econ.
omic relations, OF the allied
powers ia to inveigle the United
States into political relations
with them from motives OF sell
interest and from which this
country can gain no benefit.
Therefore. whore one meeting
fails to lure US into the entapsle'
ment, it is called of after some
Aesultory and camounagglng
barley. and We are Immediately
invited TO another. This scheme
has ID some extant support here
from sha Wilaouian faction OF
the Deuossstic party. which,
notwithstanding the rebuff II
received from the people two
years ago on that issue, persist
entity maintains that We mus,
abandon sur policy OF national
Isolation "---indersndence, TO be
quite plain about it--and join

 Diasets story was that he had been induced to join in the Shattuek robbery by a mysterious Frenchman named Henri. whom he had met In Madison Square park and who the police believe was the former Shat. tuck butler.
 Ut was the most outrageous and highhanded crime l ever heard of, Mir. shattuck said, especially when enc considers that there were 2,000 persons seated In the park directly opposite the house at the time.
 The former banker said his wife was under a physician's care, hav- ing been prostrated with fright while Imprisoned in the small, airtight, soundproof wine vault.
