Genoa.-It was announced by the
British representatives here this after
noon that the memorandum to be
handed to the Russians "embodies the
maximum the powers are willing to
give the Russian government and the
minimum which the powers will accept
from Russia"
IF the soviet delegates do not ac-
cept the general lines of this docu-
ment," it was added, "then it is certain
all negotiations with Russia will be
suspended for some time, probably un-
til another form of government arises
in Russia"
Italy and Turks Agree.
London. The Pail Mall Gazette and
Globe today says it has just learned
that Italy following Frances example
has made secret political pact with
the Turkish nationalist government at
Angora, behind Great Britain's back
"Fun disclosure Of this has only just
been made" says the newspaper.
though it has been suspected for some
time. The consequences are likely to
be serious"
The newspaper says Italy's with

and the Meander Valley in Asia Minor.
as was reported in a Constantinople
dispatch of April 18th, was effected by
an arrangement with the Turks. The
Turks were informed beforehand of
this movement, it says, similar knowl-
edge being denied to the Greeks, whose
flank was left dangerously exposed.
The newspaper says the Italians in re-
turn received necessary consideration
in the shape of concession in tbs
Meander Valley and the eastern viii
lagos of Van, Bitlis and Erzerum.
Italy has also undertaken, it contin-
ues, to press for further favors from
the entente to Turkey relating to
Thrace, some allied, commissions of
control at Constantinople and curtaiI-
ment of capitulations. Italy also corr
sented to the extension of local self
government and other privileges fo1
her Moslem dependencies. The Angora
government in return pledged to re-
train from santi-Italiane propaganda
there.
Barthou Goes to Paris.
Genoa.-Vice- Premier Barhou, heaG
of the French delegation at the
conference, left for Paris today for 6
conference with Premier Poincare and
the cabinet. He is expected back Sun
day. Before leaving he cerferred with
Premier Lloyd George, Elemicr Poin-
.care Of France may come to Genoa for
The closing sessions. Of the economic
conference President Millerand's re-
turn from his African trip will make it
possible for the premier to leave the
capital and the question whether he
will join the other premiers here will
be one of the subjects he will discuss
with M. Barthou, head of the French
delegation here.
Before leaving, Barthou answered the
letter written by M. Tchitcherin on
April both in which the Russian for
eign minister denied the existence Of
secret military or political clauses in
the German treaty and declared
there was no real reason why the most
friendly citations should not be estab-
lished between Russia and France.
M. Barthou in his reply voiced his
satisfaction at the letter and declared
the French government and people
were only dissatisfied with the Rus
SLAMS who had signed the Brest- Litovsk
treaty and desired to maintain only the
most cordial relations with the Rus
sian people generally.
The most important question to be
talked over by M. Barthou and his
chief, it is understood, is that of
Frances attitude on the non-aggression
pact proposed by the British premier.
May Protest on Meeting.
Whether M. Poincare will consent to
meeting of the signatories of the
treaty of Versailles to discuss German
Preparations before May 31st, is another
subject for the parley in Paris. French
men here believe it unlikely that M.
Poincare will agree to talk reparations
at Genoa.
The sub-commission on Russian af-
fairs was to meet this afternoon for
final approval of the memorandum to
the Russians, the details of which were
completed late last night, The mem
orandum will probably be sent to the
Russians later in the day.
The document provides for establish
ment of a mixed arbitral commission
for controlling the debts owed to hold
-
chairman of which would be named by
Chief Justice Taft of the United States
supreme court. Mixed tribunals wou1e
be set up to deal with the question of
the property of foreigners in Russia
which has been nationalized.
