Text of Reply of Russians ' To Allies’ Terms at Genoa By the Associated Press, * GENOA, May 11.—The general con- clusion of the Russian reply reads: “The Russian government sent its representatives to the conference at Genoa in the hope of achieving an agreement with the other states which, without affecting the social and political regime established in consequence of revolution and inter- vention victorfously repulsed, would bring about not aggravation, but amelloration, of the economjic and gation. These very merchants and in- dustrialists will not be able to utilize credits to the extent desired unless the Russlan government is assured of the financial means necessary to revive the productive forces of the country—a condition indispensable to the existence of commercial relations of any magnitude between Russian and other states.” Bases Reply on 0ld Regime.

Disposed to Concede. “But this plan presupposed that the foreign powers who organized armed intervention in Russia would cease using toward Russia the language of the victor to the vanquished, Russla not having been vanquished. The only Janguage which could have led to & common agreement was that which states adopt toward each other when contracting upon a basis of equality. “Russia remains disposed, in order to assure the success of the agree- ment, to consent to serious conces- slons toward the foreign powers, but on this absolute condition, that to these concessions shall correspond equivalent concessions in favor of the Russian people by the other contract- ing parties. The popular masses in Russia could not accept an agreement in which the concessions granted should not have their counterpart in real advantages. confer 'title to sufferers therefrom. When foreign citizens, supported by their govern- ments, demanded the czar's govern- ment to reimburse losses to them by the revolutionary events of 1905 and 1906, the Russian government reject- ed the demands, basing its refusal on the fact that, not having accord- ed damages to its own subjects for similar losses, it could not place for- eigners in a privileged position Refuses to Stem Propagands. With rcference to clause 1 of the memorandum, the reply say “The memorandum of the allies” de- mands that Russla ‘suppress upon her territory all attempts to ald rev- olutionary movements in other coun- tries.’ If by this formula the mem- orandum means to prohibit the ac- tivities of political parties or or- ganizations of workers, the Russian delegation cannot accept the prohibi- tion, at least in so far as the ac- tivitles in question do not transgress the laws of the country.

Defeat for Lioyd George. Undoubtedly the Russian reply is a disappointment and defeat for Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great Brit- ain, Foreign Minister Schanzer - of Italy and the Germans who had hoped for a more conciliatory document which would enable them again_to unite the powers on a program. Be. fore this answer small divergencies fade. It is no longer a question of variants to this or that article, but of the fundamental attitude toward Russiza and toward the conference. The Russian document leaves a small door open to further negotiations, but 1t In neither categorical nor conciila- ory. The French, Belglans, Japanese and some neutrals—all the conference wreckers—wince beneath the Russian sentences, but consider that the Rus- sian move makes a suspension of the discussion of the Russian question {mperative; they only hesitate as to what road to take. Thursday night M. Barthou talked with Mr. Llody George. It seems that the latter may suggest turning the Russian question over to a committee of experts, as the Russlans suggest, exacting a pledge from the soviet government to re- spect the eastern frontiers while the discussion is pending. This decision would leave the conference moribund, although' it might continue to drag cilfation with the soviet government are also considering a . proposition that the conference delegates should sign a pledge engaging not to make separate agreements with Russia and nullifylng all those made or prepared during the conference. This would protect the interests of the wreckers and incidentally of absent nations, and prevent “an -indecent and im- moral rush te make peace with the robbers.” But it is doubtful if any such agreement would be accepted by the Italians or by Mr. Lioyd George, whose authority, despite the wreckers, 18 still the greatest at the conference. Russians Take Advantage. The Russians took full advantage of the division among the other dele- gations to score point after point. The reply offers “real guarantles by Rus- | sia”” and dwells temptingly on the “industrial, mining agricultural and’ which the soviet other concessions.” government is ready to grant.. Position Strong Legally. Legally the Russian position is ex- ceptionally strong. The note refers to the fact that many states have re- pudiated their debts entirely or in part and protests against the obvious desire of the powers to make Russia abandon communism for “capltalistic individualism.” Russia is unconquered and will make financial sacrifices only # the powers make equal sacrifices, and such sacrifices were not mention- #d In the offer from the allles. ‘The Russians laugh at the idea of an ultimatum. They point an accus- ing finger at the attempt to give a new interpretation to the meaning of the no-propaganda clause, to make the soviet government subscribe to matters concerning Rumania and Asia Minor, and to accept treaties which it had not helped to negotiate.
