Genoa, April 20 Cby the Assoclat-
ed Press. The powers have pre-
pared the preamble of their magma
charta for Russia 1t outlines how
Europe viii give practical financial
and economic help to permit that
great Country's restoration and re-
construction.
Across the Asiatic literal, Japan
promises to contribute her portion
of money to assist in the reorgani-
Hation of Russia, and although the
United states is not mentioned in
the preamble. it is wide enough in
scope to take in the whole world.
for it's trainers voice the conviction
that once confidence is felt that
foreigners can normally engage IN
enterprises in Russia, the banks OF
all countries will willingly advance
funds to their citizens to invest
there.
Italy viii Help.
Great Britain and Belgium, as
well as Japan. to a lesser degree,
are placing credits at the disposal
of enterprises III Russia. France
will provide railroad material: Italy
will help by inland water trans
ports and all will participate in an
international consortium. The sub
commission on Russian affairs has
already adopted article one of the
document. which is directed against
propaganda by the bolshevik or
attempts to change the existing
frontiers. This has chief reference
to Bessarabia, now annexed by
Rumania. An arrangement was al
so reached on the momentouS ques-
ton of the naturalization Of pri-
vate property.
Compromise Devised.
Apparently some compromise on
the project has been devised by the
iurists whereby the soviets are able
to adhere to their great doctrine or
naturalization and simultaneously
satisfy the foreign governments
and peoples by granting the use of
the property. instead of admittins
.actual ownership. The text of this
article has been kept a secret but
lie will come up again Monday for
consideration.
Differences Developed.
Differences developed between
England and France on the Ques-
tion of Russia's war debts. France
insisting that Russia recognize
them in their entirety. though
ready to scale them down later.
The question was left to a commit
tee.
On the question OF war debts
England proposed that the per-
centage whereby the war debts
were to be reduced could be decid-
ed by the supreme court OF the
United States. During this discus
sion NJ. Barthou said France was
willing to grant facilities for them
such as a moratorium and was
even ready to consent to reduc-
tions at a later date; meantime
France demanded unqualified rec
ognition by the soviet of the war
debts.
"When his attention was called
to the fact that reductions had ap-
parently been promised in the note
Of April Is to the soviet, NJ. Bar
thou pointed out that the soviet
had substantially changed its po-
sition and therefore the powers
had the same right. NJ. Barthol
was ready to favor many different
concessions but wished to call At
tention to the fact that the gov
eminent could only recommend
while parliament must decide.
Debt Owed England.
Mr.. Lloyd George made refer
ence to the debt owed Great Bri-
tain. He said it had been under
stood that the Russian debt would
be reduced and the powers must
stick to this. He then suggested
submitting the question to the Jur-
lists. NJ. Gather, the Belgian eX-
pert, will sit unofficially with the
iurists of the four other powers.
