Inasmuch as. the Russian question owas the main topic up for eettlement at Genoa, the failure of the present negotiations will bring the conference to a quick end and adjournment probably will be taken before the end of tho present week. ‘The Hague conference would consist ‘of two commissions of expertn, one for the Russians and the other for the re- maining powers participating at ‘Genoa, but tt is extremely doubtful whether the Russians will consent to the plan as it now stands. Genoa conference failed Moscow would continue its policy of opposi- tion to the Ieague on the theory that Russia could not expect anything from an organization composed chief- ty of member states with which it had been unable to reach an agree- ment. The league offictals here regard these unofficial overtures for peace from the bolsheviki as significant in view of the bitter opposition of Mos- cow to the organization in the past.
