Harding e
Genoa to Yield
Small Results
Continued from rage onel

own justification for maintaining an
army larger than either Britain or
Italy thought they should keep, as tho
Russian menace has been one of the
two reasons advanced by France for
the necessity of her army being kept
on practically war basis The Ger
man situation was the other. and their
is NO doubt among Administration Of
fcias and diplomats here that Lloyd
George had plans in view for remov-
ing this fear also.
Nothing seems clearer at the mo-
ment than that Lloyd Georges plans
| for land armament reductions in con-
tinental Europe have failed, just as
the hopes for land armament reduc-
lions and for limitation of submarine
+ tonnage failed at the Washington CON
ference In all three cases the
puncturing has been done by the
French.
Hope is held by some here that the
League of Nations program for arm
| ament limitation may accomplish in this
| direction what Lloyd George has failed
/ in doing at Genoa, and what failed
prior to that in the Washington CON
ference The prevailing view, however,
is that France will not agree to any
action by the league any more readily,
!
Frances eager desire to retain large
army is based not nearly so much on
fear of German aggression as on the
determination that, whether supported
by the other Allies or not, she is 60
ing to force payment of reparations
by that army if necessary.
Hopes to Open Russian Trade
This again brings the Harding Ad-
ministration to the stumbling block
that the separations question is the
keystone of the whole European. and,
it might also be said, the world. sit
uation, and that while the Admin stra-
tion feels that this country should
! have an active voice and vote on the
separations commission, actually the
President hesitates to ask Congress to
sanction such a move.
The only hope still retained by the
Administration with regard to the
Genoa conference is that perhaps some
thing may be done towards opening
up trade with Russia. President Hard
ing's advisers are far from being united
upon this, but the President himself
has hoped strongly that one result of
the Genoa conference would be the
recognition by the chief Europcc n
powers of the Soviet Government en-
terms which would be salts factory, and
which would lead to the gradual re-
sumption Of trade
so strong is the pressure on Lloyd
Geo0ge from the business interests and
| labor of Great Britain. where the need
for markets is very apparent in the
Unemployment situation, that it is be-
! lieyed here he will 60 to almost any
lengths to bring about restoration
of Russian trade. President Harding s
desires for trade with Russia are in
fluenced by the same causes. though

acute In this country than in Eng
land
Even on the recognition of and trade

ton Of land ornaments enters vitality,
for 1t is obvious that with the million
men under arms. withdrawn from pro-
ductlve employment and a drain on the
taxpayers, Russia's resumption of pro-
duction will be severely handicapped.

Dublin Conference Adjourns
After Three-Hour Session
TO Meet Again Next Week

Copyright, 1922. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, April 13.-Peace in Ire
land over Easter instead Of the threat
encd outbreak of civil way between
republicans and Free Staters was vir-
tualy assured to-day at conference
at the Mansion House in Dublin be-
tween the leaders OF those two fac
lions. After n thrce-hour discussion
tho confcrces adjourned until next
Wednesday.
Although no final agreement was
reached, The peace delegates did come
together on ono point. They issued a
formal statement expressing the hope
that there would be no further inter
ference with public meetings. This is
decided rebuke for the republican
Free State election campaign meetings,
and is likely to avert the trouble threat
encd at Sligo Sunday. when Arthur
Griffith. president Of the Dali Ereann,
will speak in defiance of the mutineers'
prohibition against any gathering
there.
Dublin Optimistic
Moreover, the fact that the con-
forces remained at their appointed
peace task for full three hours and
then made an engagement for next
week to continue their discussions was
regarded in Dublin AZ a most favorable
sign. The points Of view of the re-
publcans and the Free Staters had be-
come so divergent in recent weeks that
no one had expected any immediate
peace agreement between them. The
trend Of their present discussions, how
ever, indicates plainly that one point
upon which agreement is certain is
that order must be maintained between
now and the holding of general cleo
ton.
The Trbune's Dublin correspondent
says that the adjournment under ia
Vorable circumstances is taken to mean
chat there is no danger of an out
break on Easter.
Engaged in the conference were
Michael Collins. chairman of the Free
State, and Griffith, on one side, and
canon de Valera and Charles Burgess
for the republicans. The medators
were Lord Mayor O'Neill, of Dublin;
Archbishop Byrne and Stephen O'Mara,
a veteran nationalist. one Of whose sons
is the republican Mayor of Limerick
and another the Free State envoy to the
United States.

depots with spare parts and supplies
The brothers hoped to girdle the globe
