able victories.
Moreover, they maintain that great
moral good has been accomplished for
Europe by the assembly and inter
communion here OF representatives OF
80 nations. the greatest reunion in its
way in the history of Europe.
The real nature of Europe's problem
has been determined and the first con-
tact has occurred between the uphold
ers of the communistic doctrine of
soviet Russia and the believers in the
long established economic system pre-
valllng in the other countries.
Path Laid Out
A road has been cut, it is believed,
for further useful conferences of the
Russian peoples, perhaps in conjunc-
tion with the Americans, whereby the
economic reconstruction of the world
may be achieved and International dis
putes settled by congresses instead of
by cannon.
Owing to the raptdity with which the
conference is ending, it is understood
that Pope Plus has abandoned his plan
to send his substitute secretary of
state, Monsignor Pizzardo, back to
Genoa to continue negotiations on the
papal memorandum concerning liberty
of religion and religious teaching and
the restitution of church properties in
Russia. The Vatican will continue its
conversations directly with Russia.

Chairman McCumber of the finance
committee, in charge of the tariff bill
who invited Republican senators alb

to stay on the job or resign.
To Stay on Job.
Senator McCumber said he could
not expect Democrats who did not be

could attend the sessions, to remair
on the job. If they did not, he de
clared they should resign and LEI

egation this afternoon that further ad-
vices had been received from the

ing present, and amplified the position
