Socialists Of share In the govern
ment. The bourgeois parties fear that
this would Interfere with Germany's
obtuining financial relief abroad.
TT LOOKS at this writing as though
the conference at The Hague would
come no nearer to settling the Rus
sian problem than did that at Genoa.
The soviet delegates In response to
the demands Of the allies submitted
what they called the Russian budget.
but Chairman Alphand Of the commits
sion characterized 1t As 4 project"
and the British called It an amazing
document" This budget admitted that
Gne-fifth Of the entire revenues con-
sisted Of new issues Of paper rubles
and undertook to show that the more
rubles were printed the more valuable
they became-amaxing indeed. The
budget figures, which were in gold
rubles. were calculated ON an arbl.
trary rate In paper rubles every three
months. The allied experts were
daxed by all this.
The Russians caused further dis
sension by putting out two question
naires demanding to know the social
positions. the professions. the reve-
nues and the family positions Of all
previous holders Of property, bonds
and securities who have claims against
Russia. Though told this was prac-
tically impossible and unnecessary.
Litvinoff insisted his government must
have this and other Information as
basis for concrete proposals for the
settlement Of each case. Finally Q
list Of the private agricultural claims
Of French. British and Belgian ma.
tionals was presented to him, and the
matter was taken under further con.
sideration.
Representatives Of large financial
groups have arrived at The Hague.
and It may be that LitvinOfY will be
able to trade a lot Of concessions for
private credits and no carry back GER
tain valuable results to Moscow even
II the formal negotiations fall through.
MAYHEM the League Of Nations AZ.
w sembly meets in September II
will have a definite program for re-
duction Of land and sea armaments.
Tho leagues commission on disarma.
ment has been In session in Paris and
has approved Lord Robert Cecii's plan
providing for q general reduction Of
air and land forces under the super.
vision Of the league. and for CONT.
mental alliances against aggression.
The commission also adopted the
British scheme for extending the
Washington naval accord to all ma.
lions. Objection to limiting the al.
liances to continents was met by the
statement that no nation would be
barred from aiding a country that was
attacked. no matter on what CONT.
nent.
G ETrLEMENT of the Tacna-Arica
- dispute In the conference ut Wash.

Peruvian delegates. Chile had nc.
cepted the plnn offered by Secretary
Hughes. but the Peruvians have quail.
fed their acceptance In such way
that further negotiations are neces.
Eary. Chile's attitude is explained by
her spokesmen ns thoroughly con.
ciliatory one, embracing n willingness
to accept Perus suggestion for amy
minor changes In the American for.
mula NO long as the major principles
laid down by Secretary Hughes NC.
ccpted by Chile are not disturbed.
