P.)— Prime Minister Lloyd George, of Great Britain, contemplated suggest- ing an agreement for limitation of land armament in Europe for a de- finite period according to an unveri- fied report before the adjournment of |the present international economic jconference. The army holiday, it is thought, will be patterned after the naval holiday completed at the Wash- ington conference. Disarmament continues to be the most discussed question among the delegates here although barred from formal discussion. The statement of Louis Barthold, head of the French delegation to the | Associated Press yesterday explain- ing why France cannot discuss dis- armament at Genoa will probably re- main the basis of the French atti- tude on this question despite the at- tempts of the Russian delegation or other national groups to raise the issue. This is a purely economic confer- ence,” said the French leader | last night, again emphasizing France’s position, “and we have simply got to stick to our agency as America did at Washingotn; otherwise we will get nowhere.” Siberian Question Up.

This is the contention that owing to internal troubles, Russia is unable to give aid and protect the rights and legitimate interests of her Asiatic white population which, it is claimed, may in a few decades reach a total of fifty millions. Scheme to Restore Europe The report of the allied experts meeting in London relating to the program for the restoration of Rus- sia and the restoration of Europe, a copy of which the Associated Press hag obtained, embodies a comprehen- sive scheme whereby it is, hoped to bring back Europe, including Russia, to healthful prosperity. This report declares that the restoy- ation of Russian depends in great part upon assistance which Russia\ will be able to obtain from foreign enter- prise and capital, but insists that, without profound transformation of the actual conditions in Russia, which affect commerce and industry, foreigners will refuse to resume old enterprises or begin new ones. Article one declares the Soviet government should accept the finan- cial obligations of its predecessors, the imperial ‘Russian government and the provisional government. Artiéle three declares that the Soviet should assume responsibility for all material damage suffered by foreigners in consequence of the acts or negligence of the Soviet or _ its predecessor: AT FLOOD POINT La Crosse, Wis,, April 12—The Mis- sissippi reached the flood stage today, attaining a mark of 12 feet.
