the Russian delegates to the conference.
objected to the idea of restoring liberty
OF trade in Russia, saying it was neither
possible nor desirable. He claimed the
right for Russia to restrict both i'm
ports and exports in any way she
Thought tit.
NJ. Krassin declared Russia had not
abandoned the idea of complete social
, ization of the means of production and
exchange. and said Russia was drawing
as near as she could to a state of So
cialism. The Russians claimed complete
monopoly of external trade, which he
declared must move through central
organizations of the soviet government.
Nj. kraSsin told the commission that
Russia could not give up her control of
foreign trade unless she could first reg
ulate internal trade Even if the eco
nomic structures of the different coun-
tries allowed such procedure. he de-
clared. any interference with the soviet
government in foreign trade could be
feasible only on the following condi-
tions:
states Three Conditions.
First, economic restoration of all
countries; second. re-establishment
throughout the world of economic eaui-
lbrium, and, third. stabilization of ex-
change in all countries.
Until these conditions were attained.
he emphasized proclamation of the
principle of liberty in commerce was
undesirable. as it would aggravate
conditions in countries whose economy
was diSOrgauiZed making them a
prey of the richer countries. There
fore it was Indispensable to main-
tain a system of limitation of exports
and imports, especially in Russia.

ciple. was favorable to the doctrine
of the most favored nation, but he
thought it should not be generalized,
as the special economic and fiscal
conditions of each state must be con-
sidered. He complained of the treat
ment made of Russian commerce, to
which he said people were prone to
refer as the most unfavored ma
tion."
Urges Equal Distribution.
NJ Krassin again referred to the
necessity for the equal distribution
among all countries of raw material
including gold. The representatives

draw up an arrangement to that end

along the Mediterranean coast from
here to Rapallo, packed their bags
overnight. abandoned their luxurious
villas and settled in any small room
they could find along Genoa's single
main street leading to the conference
halls.
Here it is possible to see every one
passing toward the English and
French headquarters as well as to the
conference sessions in the royal pal
ace, and to the audiences to news
papermen in the Casa Della Stampa
or University. which has become a
sort of postgraduate school in jour
nalism.
At thees audiences the lecture halls
are thronged by experienced news
paper correspondents listening to Sir

president of the Ukraine soviet re-

rector of the department of overseas
trade of the British government, and

Appears Fatigued-
Mr.. Lloyd George seemed fatigued
as he entered the famous Royal Pal
ace. where the first and only plenary
session of the conference was held. on
April 10. He found the green baize ta-
bles. which before were occupied by the
conference delegates, now crowded to
overfiowing by the writers, who were
glad to be present at a quiz which
promised to disclose to some extent
the future of the conference.
The prime minister's decision to talk
to the press was an outgrowth CT the
system at the Washington conference.

"I came not to make speech, but
rather to answer questions. and, So
clear up MISUNDERSTANDING" he said,
but imm ediately added: God is In
His heaven. and the conference at
Genoa still lives. and is going strong.
The public may be said to be divided
into two categories-those who want
to see the conference succeed and
those who would like to see it go
down in defeat. But the latter Will
not see their desire crowned. We are
working through our difficulties quite
