could not carry the Soviet program
through the Hague conference with a
wave of the flag. He tried to commit

Litvinoff then said he had just mem

anime the entire private property prob
lem with the same detailed care as he
had agreed to study debts and credits. He
suggested naively that the non-Russian
claims for private property should be
listed as II no restoration was possible.
but the non-Russians said they could
not prepare bill for the confiscated
property until they knew the present
condition of Il and the chances for res
torntion.
The Russian Government Itself. Lit
vinoff said. was not concerned as to
whether the previous owners OF tho
property were the Russian State or Rus
sian or foreign citizens and that the
motive dominating the Soviet policy was
expedlency. The non-Russlans replied
that they were at The Hague not TO
discuss principles but facts.
Both sides finally agreed TO submit
detailed schedules. and the work OF this

President Harding's conference with

to break the deadlock between bitumi'
nous operators and miners and estab-
lish basis for negotiations. Secretary
of Commerce Hoover declared to-day
The President will not inject into
the conference questions of detail re-

Representatives of coal operators

anthracite and bituminous producing
fields have been invited by the Presi-
dent to attend the meeting.
Assurance has come to the White
House that every important producing
field will be represented. The opera
tors are coming without power to bind
their respective groups to any agree
ment which the conference may evolve.
The President is said to feel that the
delegates will use their influence to
secure the sanction of their groups or
associations to any proposals which
may be adopted.
Transcendlng In Importance the prob
