ENGLAND ASKS
TRUC EON EAST
EUROPE LINES
Consideration OF Russian Reply
To Allies Delayed AT
Genoa

GENOA, May 12.- (By Associated
Press. Great Britain has proposed
truce in Eastern Europe on the
basis of de facto frontiers, pending
the conclusions Of a commission OF
inquiry to be appointed, it was an
nounced this afternoon.
The economic conference sub-com-
mission on Russian affairs this aft
ernoon postponed consideration OF
the Russian reply to the Allied mem
orandum until II o'clock tomorrow.
Russia's reply declares financial
differences between the Fl rs and
Russia require deeper stuos, and II
suggests the appointment of mixed
commission of expertss by the eco
ionic conference to consider the
questions.
The reply rejects the mixed trib-
unal system proposed by the Allies
fer settling the claims OF foreigners.
This system, it says, is irreconcilable
with the commqnistie system. The
reply maintains that the preferential
rights Russia proposes to grant for
mer pronrietors will make 1t possible
for them to participate in Russian
reconstruction without the mixed
tribunals.
The first part of the note is ar
gumentative, but the second half was
reported to be constructive, making
proposals dealing with financial ques-
tions.
Russia's reply to the Allied memo
randum is generally regarded as con-
ciiatory. At least, it is considered
basis for further Negotiations
It's suggestion that all the tangled
financial problems be submitted to g
committee of experts named by the
Genoa conference provided a mean!
of escape from the present super
heated atmosphere, which appears K
De unfavorable for the settlement Of
the myriad questions arising from
the Russian situation.

erately conciliatory; 50 also doe
