o -y injustice 1s done the puolic (which means all of the people) that the press should give publicity tou it, being sure of the facts. But, we do wish his under- stood, that, ‘‘The Herald’’ dues not re- present ‘‘all of the people’” and . nse- quently does not speak for all of the , ~o- ple. For this time it is not a public cau. that brought about the present dilem- ma cf the learned and highly cultured editer, Counsellor at Law ete. as we ali know, it was for the repairing of private roads, hence we feel that the matter concerns the editor of The Herald and bis elients and not “"ALL OF THE PEO- L Yours respectfully ANTIHUMBUG.

Genoa, April 18th.— With Germany de- barred from further deliberatons with respect to the 2greement which the Pow- ers hope to conclude with Russia, the Genoa Conference is tonight in a state @of crisis. The Allied Powers sitting with the States of the little En- tente, have imposed a severe penalty on Germany because of what is termed her ‘‘violation of the conditicns to which she pledged herself in entering the confer- ence’’. This violation took the form of “‘secretly cencluding’” a treaty with Rus- sia on the very matters which all the Powers have agreed to discuss in com mon at Geroa. Despite the Allies vigo- rous action, indications are tcnight that the Germars would not bolt the confer- ance, although they had not disclosed ‘hat attitude they would adopt. Appar tly they will decide without consulting rlin. Dr. Rathenau the Germean For- 'n Secretary, has protested against t1: sl. e . 1 v} Allies action, declaring that the Germans did nothing secret nor dishonnurable. He asserted that the Allies. themselves were preparing a treaty “vith Russia in secret, after which Germany would be infe of it and would be expected to sigu. vollowing is the text of the Allied note {0 the German delegation. “‘The undersigned Powers learned with aston- ishment that ia the first stage of the Ge- noa Conference Geraiany, without refer- ence to the cther Powers assembled, nas seeretly eoncluded a treaty with the Sov- iet Govt. The questions covered hy the treaty .re the subject 0 negotiations be- tween the representatives of Russia and those of all cther Powers invited to the conference ‘neiuding Germany, and the German Cnancellor himself declared at the opening session that the German del- egation woull cooperate with the other Powers lor a solution of these questions in a spirit of genuine. loyalty and fellow- « ship. The undersigzned Powers there- fore express to the German delegation in tue © ~nkest terms, their opinion that the conclusio, of such an agreement while the conference was in session, was a vio- lation of the conditions to which Germany pledged herself on entering the con- ference. By inviting Germany to Ge- noa and offering her representation on every commission on eqgual ternis with thems:lves, the inviting Powers proved the r readiness to waive meni- ories of the war and granted Germany an copport inity for Lonest co-operaiion with form r enemies in the tasks of ihe conferenc. To that offer of gocedwill and fellowship Germany replied with an act which destroys the spirit of mutual confiderce indisrensable to internation-' co-operation, the estabiishment of which is the chief aim of the Conference. At all _2s unofficial conversatiors h. yeen parties are permissible, often d¢ irable. They are helpful so long as tiiey are designed to facilitate the com- mon task, ard so long as tie results ave bronght to the conference-iatle for comi- -lon discussion and decision. But that is not what the Germans have done. This treaty 1s not subject to any examination or sanction by the conference. We un- derstoed that it is final, and that it is not proposed to be submitted to the judg- ment of the conference. Itis in fact a violation of some of the principles on w iich this conference is based. In these circumstances the uvndersigned do not consider it fair or equitable thut Germary, having effected her own arrangements with Russia should enter into a discus- sion of the cenditiens ¢f en arrangement between these eccuntries and Russia. They thercfore gssunie that the German delegztes have, by their action, renounc- ed iuther participation in the discussions of the conditions ¢f agicement between Russia and the various countries repre- sented at the conference.’”’ Signed.
