Delegation At the Genoa
Conference

Gen"a.-The German reply to the
allied ultimatum accepts the condition
that the German delegates be barred
from participating In the further dis
cushions Of the Russian question by
the Genoa conference. the Russo
German treaty signed at RapallO be-
Ing allowed to stand.
Tho German note IL longer than that

nowledging with painful surprise"
the protest received. which 10 consid.
cred undeserved. The note then re-
peats what DR.. Rathenau. German
foreign minister. has stated ON sew
eral eccasiOns-that negotiations for
the conclusion of the Russ0-German
treaty had begun long ago, were
known to have been In progress by all
the European governments and had
lately been suspended out Of defer.
ence to the conference.
But the exclusion of Germany from
the negotiations held by the allies
with the Russians At sthe villa de All.
beFtis gave to the German delegation
the impression that the allies were
trying to conclude arrangements wito
the soviet government without Ger.
man participation. perhaps 70 Ger
many's detriment.
AT certain moment. perhaps
through misunderstanding, the ser.
man delegation received the impress.
sion that the allies were about to
conclude an agreement with the Rus.
SLAMS. therefore the Russo-German
negotiations were resumed, and re-
suited In the signing Of the treaty at
Rapallo Easter Sunday.
The German delegation believes
that this treaty does not violate the
spirit Of the conference. and indeed
contributes to It's supreme aim-paci.
fication of the world and the recon.
structiOn of Europe.
The notet admits that, after tie
conclusion Of this treaty, the German
delegation has no reason to participate

It will willingly participate in the

The delay in delivering the note was
due chiefly - dsrareneaa-s opinion
among the Germans themselves as to
the best attitude to take. some fear.
ing the repercussion It might have In
French quarters. as the French dele.
gates had kept themselves severely
aloof during the whole incident. The
statement made by Premier Lloyd
George Of Great Britain before the
Journalists ut the meeting in the royal
palace. however. was interpreted to
mean that France was in perfect
agreement with the other allies.
