U. S. DECIDES ON STAND
ON GENOA CONFERENCE

The attitude of the United States
government toward participation in
the forthcoming Genoa conference
has been formulated and will shortly
be announced, it was learned today
at the White House.
No intimation was given whether
America would actively participate
in the proposed conference. Previous
intimations by high officials have
been to the effect that the United
States could not participate at Genoa
until the financial situation In Eu-
rope had been brought to point
where constructive discussions could
take place.
The close relation between Amer
ican finances and the finances OF the
rest of the world was discussed at
length by the cabinet today. 1t was
said at the White House. That re-
lationship is considered to be one OF
the most important problems OF cur

that the administration had given no

the situation today was regarded as
full of possibilities.
Invaders Parade Streets.
The British troops here are confined
to their barracks. The free state forces
are occupying barracks and the police
stations. The streets today were being
patrolled by the invaders, some Of whom
wore uniforms and all of whom carried
arms.
Persistent rumors that free state
forces had been dispatched from Dublin
had not been verified up to this fore
noon by the arrival of any such troops.
1t is considered here that the policy of
the provisional government probably
will develop an effort to adjust the sit

DUBLIN, March 7.-Reports that
republican mutineers have given Free
State forces forty-eight hours notice

racks today intensified the situation
in Limerick and caused genuine anx-
1ety to free staters. These rumors lack

that free staters would stubbornly
resist dispossession, and in event of
an attack the barracks would be Wig
orously defended. No breach of peace,
however, had been reported early to-
day.
Lack of authentic news intensified
seriousness OF the real situation.

KELLOGG DEMANDS
QUICK PACT ACTION
Four-PoWer Treaty Might Be
Marred by Reservations,
Senator Declares.

Advocating ratification of the four
power Pacific treaty without hesita-
tion or qualification, Senator Kellogg,
republican. Minnesota, told the Senate
today that the pact was SO free from
entangling commitments as to make
reservations possible sources of en-
barrassment rather than of advan-
tage.
The Minnesota senator said no
agreement to employ force or to de-
fend any other nations rights was
contemplated by the instrument, and
characterized the mo alliance" reser-
vation approved by the foreign rela-
tions committee as wholly super
fuous.
1T will undoubtedly be said." he
continued. that this may be so; but
what assurance have we that it is
50? There should be stronger ground
for the adoption of reservations by
the Senate than the argument that
they can do no harm. If we are
going Is ratify the treaty covered
over with unnecessary reservations
because they can do no harm, we
may find that other countries will do
tions-theirs or ours-may hinder the
ratification or weaken the effect Of
the treaty"
Refers to Bryan Treaties.
Senator Kellogg reviewed the nego-
tiations leading up to the treaty. and
asserted that one of ;ts most impor-
tant provisions was that abrogating
the Anglo-Japanese alliance. which
he said long had been viewed with
suspicion" He alluded to the Bryan
arbitration treaties and similar inter-
national agreements as furnishing
precedent for the four-power pact,
and declared there was mo semblance
of similarity" between the new treaty
and the obligations of article x Of the
league of nations covenant
The most that the four-power treaty
obligated the United States to do, he
said, was to respect the rights of
the signatories in the Pacific and to
consult" with them II those rights
were violated:
is no definition as to Just what those
rights are, and no definition is neces-
sary. We have absolute dominion
over the Philippine Islands and the
other powers agree to respect those
rights. The other powers have abb
solute dominion or mandatories over
other islands, and we agree to re-
spect their rights.
Denies Danger Of Disagreement.
There Is little, il any. chance for dis
agreement as to what those rights are,
But, assume that the title Of any coun-
try should be questioned, we do not
agree to submit that question to arbi-
tration or to the decision Of any con-
ference, or to be bound by any finding
