CROIX STATION. | London, May 16th. Th- refusal by the i United States to pzrticipate in the pro- | posed continiance of the Genoa Confer- ence at the Hague will cause great dis- | appointment in many quarters here, | | whe-e it is strongly boped that the Allies ! invitation would be accepted News of | the declination eame too late for yester- | days inorning newspapers, which feature | despatches from the correspondents at | Genoa encouraging the expectations of 3 E favourably repiv. The ‘‘Times’’and the | “"DailyMail”, both of which have been | so antagonistic to the Genoa Conference, editorially declared that the success of the proposed meeting at the Hague was practically dependent urox participation by the United States. ©One doubt is atil} expressed as to whether the proposed meeting will take place at all, but in any case there is apparently no finality about the ehoice of The Hague as the vlaee of meeting, and this was emphasizea by the Dutch Minister for Foreign Affairs when he returned to The Hague from Genoa on Sunday night. Meanwhile the public here is watehing the final seenes of the Genoa Conference and an adjournment is expec: ted by the end of the present week. The World says the *Times’’, wil wutter a sigh of deep and heartfelt relief when it learts that the delegations have left without working mise' iefs greater than those as vet known, Mr. Lloyd Geo: ge is expected to arrive bere from Genoa on Friday, He is deseribed in some dos- patches as weary, depresser and sad and in need of some days rest before he car give the House of Commons the antic-ipa‘ ted aceount of his stewardship. Genoa, Meay 16th.---Mr. Lloyd George does not feel it was indicated that the American refusal to participate in the Commission to sit at the Hague is her final word as the dccument indicates great Ameriean inteest in Russia as economic reconstruction and the repiy is regarded as forming the basis for fur- thur correspondence. Paris, May 16th.---The Badget for 1923 which bhas been submitted to Parliament, provides 23,180,008,00 C {rnes lor expel- di‘ures, although the regceipts amcunt to only 19,285 000,000 francs.

He is still wearing2 b ndage over ghe right eve, blackened by the impact with a Polo ball a few days ago. ‘ Genca, May 16th.—The Ailied Powers will probably make a new appeal to the United Staues, in an endeavour to per- suade that country to take partin the meeting of the Commission of experts at the Hague on June fifteenth. The Pow- ers, who sent the invitation, England, France, Italy, Belgium and Japan, held a meeting this afterncon to examine the guestion afresh. The French delegates wished the “onference to cloce=on Thurs- day, but this was thought impossible in order to press the Russians for a definite reply regarding the Hague Conference and it is thought,the final sitting will not take place before Saturday or Monday pext. 'fomorrow morning the Russians will meet the Sub-Commission on politi- cel affairs to discuss the Hague pro- gramme. At the meetine today M. Tchitcherin asked eertain number of questions coneerning details of the pro- posed conference and at his request the Russians obtained twenty-four hours in which to reply to the proposals made yvesterday relative to the said Confer-
