GENOA. May 3 (Associated Press) -
What some neutrals summarized as
'saner views seemed to prevail to-day.
despite the general impression that the
relations between England and France
are slightly strained over the foreign
property issue.
Both Belgian and French delegations
gave out the idea that they were not
intransigeant, and that they sought an
opportunity to find a satisfactory form
ula. and above all, did not wish to wreck
the conference.
France Checked by Germany.
There is a strong feeling here that
Frances attitude on the Russian
memorandum, which caused Mr.. Lloyi
George to tell M Barthou that Engla
and France were at the turning point OF
their relations is based on something
more than her hostility to the proposed
treatment of foreign property in Russia,
and that it is partly the outgrowth OF
her anxiety about German reparatiors.
The Associated Press correspondent is
informed that France can do nothing
commercially or industrially In Russia
until her devastated industries are re-
constructed by suitable indemnities from
Germany.
France maintains that she would bet
ter be able to help Russia after French
industries were restored, and that the
world. including England, shows over
much tendency to forget that France s
industrial conditions are still deplor-
able France, moreover, as country OF
a multitude of small property owners
and landed proprietors. finds herself In
stinctively opposed to the regime or
Communism which annihilates the sys-
tenn of individual ownership; therefore
she would relunctantly extend the hand
Of welcome to the Bolsheviki, because
she believes that they endanger the en-
tire social structure of Europe.
Great Homes In Bankers Meet.
So far as reparations are concerned
the conference leaders are pinring great
hopes on the forthcoming i.anEers' meet
ing at Paris, which J. p. Morgan VIII
attend, to study the possibility of hoat-
ing a loan for Germany. This shows
the vital role the United States is still
playing in the Genoa conference, Tor
everybody knows that the suggested loan
must be taken up primarily oy America
Its success would not only help Germany
but would enable Frances restoration
through the payment of reparat'ons. II
is believed that this pro,ect more than
any single consideration is serving to
calm the frenzy which has raged In
Genoa in the last few days.
The differences between Premier Lloyd
George and VI. Bathou have apparently
been softened somewhat, and there are
many indications that the Belgians are
less irreconcilable in their attitude and
may be persuaded to approve the memo
randum to the Russians on condition Il
be made clear that Belgian property in
Russia must be restored TO the former
owners II possible, and cannot In any
case be transferred to others.
Mr.. Lloyd George passed almost the
entire day in conference with Sir Lam
ing Worthington- Evans. Sir Philip
Lioyd-Greame and other advisers. The
row between the Prime Minister and
the Northcliffe press over statements
published in London has simmered
down, and the conference atmosphere is
more pacific. although extremely foggy.
