THE FlZZlE AT THE HAGUE

TNIIE reported breakdown of The Hague
1 conference is less sensational than the
similar collapse at Genoa. owing to the
comparative absence Of circuSng and press
agenting in the later congress.
At no time have the expectations of this
meeting been rosy. 1t was called as last
resource in an effort TO learn whether or
not the Soviet Government would recognize
the principle Of private property. AS its
obduracy on this question is unchanged. the
nom Russian nations naturally have refused
to consider the award of credits without
guarantees
As before, the problem could not be solved
BY debating the merits or demeritS of the
antagonistic systems of communism and
capitalism. Faint hopes We're entertained
by the o-caled western nations of n con
cession from Moscow upon the subject of
Russian property formerly held by for
eigners. The Soviets were not asked to
renounce their political and economic
philosophy as whole. but to protect for
eign claims in exchange for loans.
The position of the Russian delegates may
be characterized by the phrase "crcdts
first Insistcnce on this position has in
eyitably produced n deadlock.
This is the external aspect of The Hague
convention. Its other side is the lively trade
In private concessions with unofficial traf-
hckers acting on their own initiatives. 1t
is conceivable that the obStinacy Of the
Soviets is partly inspired by their success
in this kind Of commerce.
Contracts with private corporations, how
ever subvcrsive Of the MARKHAM spirit. will
perhaps be cynically presented in Moscow as
substitutes for the unprocurable govern
mental credits.
