Uncle Harry Talks About
the Hague Conference

Uncle Harry, what was the idea
of the Hague Conference" asked
Jimmy.
"As nearly as l can describe II to
you. Jimmy. it has been a sort of
continuation of the conference held
at Genoa. As you probably know,
the meetings of the various powers
In Italy did not arrive at any very
satisfactory results owing 10 the fact
that Russia and the other nations
were not in accord. Capitalism and
Communism. as some one has put 1t,
had difficulty in finding a common
ground Then too, by entering into
secret agreements with Germany,
Russia aroused the emnity of the
other nations and after the treaty
of Rapallo it seemed for a time as
though the entire government would
so TO pieces"
Demands of Russia.
Just what does Russia want from
the other powers. Uncle Harry ?
They need money. I know, but surely
the resources OF the nation would
be sufficient guaranty for a good
sized loan" said Helen.
Russia wants official recognition
of her government-de jure recog-
milton. l believe is the technical
name; and they want and need badly
a large loan in order to put the
country back on its feet CONNER
cially and industrially.
LAS l think l told you before in
discussing the Genoa Treaty, a great
deal of property was confiscated a;
the time Of the overthrow OF the
Russian Government and the setting
up OF the Soviet form of govern
ment and this property-much OF
which was owned by foreign inter-
ests the Soviet Government refuses
to give back to the former owners.
Under the present form OF govern
ment. no real property, that is real
estate-can he held by individuals.
Il must belong to the government.
Lloyd George stepped into the breach
and suggested giving the property
TO individuals OF foreign nations on
long leases either the property con-
fiscated or some other compensat-
ing property. In this way the own
ership OF the land remained with the
Soviet Government and at the same
time tho claims of the different pow
crs could be satisfied. All the nations
we're wiling TO accept the plan ex-
cept Belgium and France"
"3ut whist did they do about the
official recognition of the Soviet
Government and tho loan demanded

There was no promise of the
billion dollar loan asked for by Rus

in the Soviet Government to hazard

in the second place there was very
little money available in Europe for

was not forthcoming, withdrew
their concessions as TO property and
things were left hanging in this
