Work of Man Who Is Mad
and Insane to Wreck the
Conference
OFFICIAL NOTES SOUGHT
Comparison of French and
English Shows Them to
BE. Accurate.

Special Gable 10 THE NEW YoaK HERALp.
Copyright, 1929, by THE New York HERALD
GENOA, May S.--Mr. Lloyd George
uttered scathing denial tonight Of
II. Wickham Steed's dispatch to the
London Times stating that he had told
Louis Barthou yesterday the Entente
was ended.
ut is willful and malicious invention
in every phrase" declared the Premier.
1T is the work of a man who is mad
and insane to wreck the conference.
The official notes OF the conversation
taken by Sir Maurice Hankey were
compared with the notes of the French
reporter and found accurate. There is
no word of Lord Birkenhead. no word
Of anything the dispatch recites." The
Premier added that he was willing to
allow the official notes on the conver-
sation to be published.
Questioned further regarding tina
conversation Mr.. Lloyd George said
he had gone much further regarding
the new grouping Of nations when he
talked with the Anglo-American cor
respondents last week. 1--WE not said
anything further on that. anyway" he
insisted.
The fact Is that the Times's story was
probably several days late. There ID
enough reason to believe the dispatches
to THE NEW YORK HERALD on this point
were accurate: that M. Barthou might
return to find a new grouping of Powers
under way. These dispatches were
based upon Lloyd Georges threat in his
speech at the correspondents dinner.
and the news of what he had discussed
with DR.. Wirth and DIR. Rathenau.
1t is still Lloyd Georges idea that any
nation refusing to cooperate in the
Russo German settlement here is either
blind or blinkered.''
II prefer to believe that France and
England are going on together" he said
o-day. But this, with the denial OF
the Times story. came after NJ. Barthou
had returned from Paris with the as
surance that the French Government
and French public opinion were anx-
ious for the success OF the conference
and felt sure formula could be found
whereby all would agree upon the much
discussed Article VII.

BERLIN PAPER CALLS
RUSSIA A SCRAP HEAP
Says Germany Alone Cannot
Attempt to Redeem Her.

BERLIN. May (Associated Press).-
A significant warning against induiging
in undue optimism in connection with
the Russo-German treaty Is sounded by
the Bocrsem Zeituno. which declares that
IA Russo-German pact which would
promise successful penetration in the
present chaotic state OF Russian eco
nomics and afford even moderate
prospects OF tangible results must
vouchsafe securities and guarantees OF
a different nature than those named in
the Rapailo pact"
The Bourse Courier. which views
Soviet Russia as "one gigantic scrap
heap" designates her as "the greatest
producer OF rubbish. remnants and spoil
age the world has yet SEEN" and asserts
she Is only able to pay at the present
with scrap iron and other waste" a
fact which should be carefully borne
In mind.
For the time being" the newspaper
adds. "the Russian problem resolves
Itself into one OF credits at long sight.
Without German aid Russia cannot be
successfully rehabIiitated but Germany
aione--at least In the spirit OF Rf.pallo--
cannot attempt the task, for the Soviet
for the moment needs $4,000. 900. 900.
After all Is said and done the fact
remains that the sources from which re-
juvenation of Russia can emanate lie
within Russia, and that all attempts to
build her up must come from within.
Foreign aid can only hope to play a
secondary role in this process"
The Boersen Zettur6 humorously re-
fers TO the recent opening Of the aerial
postal service between Berlin and Mos
COW as symptomatIc Of the whole Rus
sian problem. which II says "is still very
much up In the air."

Many Rumors vt Failure.

GENOA, May ASSOCIATED Psess) -
Many difficulties worse than this have
been passed and we shall pass this one"
said Mr.. Lloyd George 10 the CORE
spondents tonight after frantic day
in which he conferred with nearly all
the leading figures at the conference.
we have come to Genoa TO overcome
such difficulties; otherwise wry have

Genoa echoed with all sorts of rumors
about the imminent dissolution OF the
conference. The French .snd 3elgians
stand firm in their opposition to the
property clause Of the memorandum to
the Russians and insist that feiiure Of
the Russians TO accept the memorandum
will mari. the end OF the conference.
The Russian delegates issued a state
ment deEouncing the Frenvh arc Bel
gians for their attempt to break up the
conference and calling attention to the
fact that these two countries are trying
to make il appear that everything
hinges on the Russian reply. while they
themselves have not indorsed Tic very
document they are discussing.
The Russians attack created much
discussion among both the French and
Belgian delegates, but apparently they
will not reply.
Mr.. Lloyd George reiterated the state
mark a turning point in European his
tory. and asserted that success OF failure
depends largely on the attitude the
Russians take in their reply to the
allied memorandum and that cor rsidera-
ton of the non-aggression pact and con-

tingent on the nature of the Russian

Confers with Leaders.
The entire day was given over to a
succession of conversations between the
leading members of the various delega-
tions. The most important was one
early in the morning in which Premier
Lloyd George, Signor Schanzer and NJ.
Ninchitch. former Premier of Jugo-
Slavia. took part.
Mr. Lloyd George used his influence
to induce Nj. Ninchitch to come to an
understanding with Italy on the Fiume
and Dalmatlan questions.
A conversation between Mr.. Lloyd
George. Signo- Schanzer. NJ. Tchitcherin
and NJ. Litvinoff followed. Sgnor
Schanzer said later that he had received
the impression that all were animated
by sincerity. Some difficulties were al
ready overcome. which gave him hope
;hat the remaining difficulties would be
z settled. The Italian Foreign Minister
concluded by saying: ''To-day's situa-
ton is better than yesterdays"
Mr.. Lloyd George and Signor Schan-
zer urged the Russian delegates to ac-
cept the allied memorandum In its main
points and promising Russia an inter-
national loan. with the understanding
that the lending countries would thus
provide funds for the reconstruction Of
Russia
The Allies would claim the right TO
make sure. however. that the money
loaned was actually invested in the
work Of reconstruction.
II was asserted that altogether the
proposed loan would amount to 100000
600 gold francs. 1t has been declared
that the Russians were asking for
5000. 100000 gold rubles. or twenty
five times as much as the allied offer.

SEEING POWER or INSECTS
lntereetlng Cata Collected In connec-
tcn WIN studleo In Comparison
With the Human Eye.

Very curious data have been collect
ed IN regard 10 the seeing powers of
Insects. The human. eye in perfect
condition is able TO see objects sepa-
rat6Iy that are only one minute Of arc
apart. Put two objects, as, for In
stance, Two black circles, on white
ground just one inch apart and then
place them at Il distance Of about
2sG1h feet. AS seen with the naked
eye the apparent space between the
circles WIN be a minute Of arc. This
space IS plainly the limit Of detail Wis
ible to the unassisted human eye.
Now it might be supposed that an
insect, having a compound eye, would
be ablefo see more detail than we do;
In other words, could separate small
objects closer together. AS matter
of fact, owing to The small aperture Of
the lenses composing the facets OF the
eye, and the spacing between the
facets, insects see less detail than
we do.
1t has been calculated that a dragon
fly cannot see separately two objects
that are placed less than one degree
apart. In other words, TO such an in
sect two silver coins lying on a table
three inches apart, and viewed from a
distance exceeding 14B feet, would
appear as a single object.
Bees and flies, according to the
same Investigator, are still more linn
tied in their ability to see the details
of objects presented TO their eyes. A
fly could see the two silver coins above
described separately only at a dis
lance not exceeding about seven feet.
It has been remarked as a conse-
quence of this that we can see the de-
tails on the antennae of fly at dis
lance Of two feet or more better than
the fly itself can, though they are but
the fraction of an inch from its eyes.
