TO JOIN IN HAGUE MEETING Failure to Solve Russ Problem Admitted at Genoa, Adjournment Is Forecast This Week GENOA, May 15.— (By The Associated Press.) —The .| economic conference of Genoa, long heralded as the meeting of minds out of which would arise a rejuvenated Europe and a new order of international con- cord and peace, today stands a desolate hulk in the vision of an expectant world. Out of weeks of negotiations has come the Easter treaty of Rapallo be- tween Germany and Russia, virtually reestablishing the old order of “bal- ance of power: decision to continue discussion of Russian rehabilitations at The Hague, without Russian repre. sentation, and the manifestation of ir- reconciliable difference between Great Britain anid Franee on ways and means of Russtan restoration. The political sub-commission today unanimously approved of the agree ment reached yesterday among the convening powers to hold another meeting at The Hague beginning June 15, to further examine the Russian question. Foreign Minister Tchitcherin, head of the Soviet delegation, has addressed a letter to Signor Schanzer, president of the conference, protesting against meetings by the five inviting powers to discuss the Russian proposal for = mixed commission, without inviting the Russians to participate. He demands immediate convocation of the political commission in order to enable Russia to develop her prop- sition, While adjournment of the Genoa gathering is not yet definitely, an nounced, the return of tho jiding spirit, Prime Minister Lloyd peoree of Engiand, to London at the end of the present week {s made known, which, with the list of subjects which various nations have announced may not be discussed at the meeting, brings the assemblage to the limit of its pos- sibilities—with one single exception, namely, the non-aggression pact, sug- gested by Mr. Lloyd George. Any meaningful action on this suggestion, however, seems remote in view of the boundary settlements involved in the acceptance of the arrangement. What the Genoa conference has fail- ed to do—sotve the Russian question— it is hoped to accomplish at another meeting if the United States will par- tictpate. A formal invitation to the new con- ference to be held at The Hague, was handed to the Armerican ambassador, Richamt Washburn Child, last night, and today all eyes were on Washing- ton, for upon the question of Ameri- can patticipation, the chance for an Agreement with the Russians is be- lieved to depend. All the powers now represented here will be asked to send delegates to The Hague meeting, the date for which is tentatively set at June 15. Other details for the gathering are unsettled, but at the suggestion of Mr. Lloyd George, a non-aggression truce for |four months or until the new confer- jence ends its labor, has been inform |ally approved. The sub-commission on Russian af- | fairs met today to vote on this and the ing the validity of the law and in all of which the United States court de- ‘cided against the government. ‘The law held unconstitutional today by the court was enacted after the supreme court had declared invalid an act of congress which excluded from interstate commerce products in whise manufacture child labor had been used. The law affected by today’s de- cision was virtually the same except that it imposed an excise tax of ten per cent upon the annual net profits establishments employing child iabor. Opponents of the law contended the. new law was an unconstitution inva- sion of the police powers of the states.

In an- nouncing his dissent Justice Brandeis stated briefly that he could not agree with the opinion of the court. which in substance held the law invalid. Section four, declared to be unen- forceabie, proposed to levy virtually prohibitive tax of 20 cents per bushel on all future trading banned under the act. It made exceptions of actual owners of grain or legitimate hedging contracts. Section three of the act provided for a tax of 20 cents a bushel upon “privi- leges.” “puts and calls,” “bid and of- fers,” and other so-called speculative trades. Section nine of the law, which was sustained by the court, empowers the secretary of agriculture to investigate boards of trade, require them to sub- mt statistical and other information, except confidential trade matter, and to publish reports to the public.
