We want to go to Genoa as equals, con-
ferring as equals to reach a compro-
mise and settle aur differences
Referring to a recent French newspa-
per report that the soviet delegation was
considered as only partly representing
Russia and that other Russian elements
should be melted to Genoa, the foreign
minister said:
This absolutely is unacceptable We
cannot tolerate the opinion that we are
considered only part of Russia. The
French and British experts are to bt
preparing plans for the reconstruction of
Russia without Rnssa's participating
In the planning. Not in the least re-
spect can such plans influence or inter-
fere with US"
NJ Chitcherin declared that if the
Genoa conference failed it would only
mean that the reconstruction of Russia
and of the world would be postponed,
but that it was inevitable that Russian
participation would come later.
But without American participation
the Genoa conference can have only par
tial results" he added.
Abiding to the foreign report of a
rapproachment between France and Rus
sia to the disadvantage of England, NJ.
Chitcherin conveyed the impression that
the parleys conducted by Karl Radek
and others, upon which the report wos
based. did not represent the views Of
the Russian government. He strongly
emphasized that there was no diverg-
ence of views within the Russian govern
ment, and branded as absolutely false
the statements that We are trying to
pit one state against another" I'VE
desire friendly relations with everybody, -
he added, "and We never had an idea
of creating an alliance against Great
Britain; and certainly we desire friend
" relations with America"

RADIO OPERATOR JEsTED
AS HE SANK WITH SHIP

New York, March S-The grim humor
of a, wireless operator who laughed at
death and flashed striking bits of wit
into the ether as his ship, the Norwegian
steamer Grontoft. wallowed and slowly
sank during mid-Atlantic hurricane
last Thursday. was recorded on the radio
log of the Danish steamer Estonia, arriv-
ing today.
Each detail Of the ships plight, each
call for aid, was supplemented by the
testing comment of the radio man, whose
identity still is unknown He talked as
if he were going on a lark in port, in
stead of to the bottom of the sea. HIS
last message, a disjointed one, was
series of witticisms-with death as the
butt of the joke.
The Estonia, herself hard hit in the
110 mile gale, made s valiant but un-
successful effort to reach the Grontoft,
which first sent out calls for aid at 10
o'clock last Thursday morning, reporting
her position as about 700 miles east Of
Cape Race. The Estonfa at that time
was forty-eight miles west Of the dis
abled Norw egian and steaming in an
opposite direction. Captain Hans Jor-
genson ordered his ship about and she
steamed slowly toward the Grontoft
Meanwhile Radio Operator Hansen
engaged the operator Of the Grontoft in
conversation The latter sent out first
the following-a stereotyped irony Of
the seas:
God pity the poor sailors on a night
like this" Then followed a series OF
"Ia. ha =
and sa~s he continued, ''the Old
Man thinks this calm will be over by
nightfan We sure need some breeze"
AN hour later an urgent call for aid

Grontoft did not reply until forty min

The skipper dictated that-he ough

Sorry we can't wait for you; pressing

! The Estonfa's operator quoted in repl!
I these lines:
What dam Of 1ances brought thee forth
| To jest at dawn with death?"
But there was no answer.
Six hours after picking UP the frs
call from the Grontoft the Estont

to find even a trace of wreckage.
