Genoa, April 12 (By the A. P.).—Dele- gates frolm several countries representcd at the economic conference remarked i formally today upon what seemed to them a changed attitude on the part of France toward Russia. They declared that -Louis Barthou, head of the French delegation, appeared to be specially cordial and conciliatory in his manner toward George Chitcherin, leader of the Russian group, in public meetings. They interpreted this as indi- cating that France is now disposed 10 g0 as far as possible towards reaching an understangiing with Russia. Anothe? remark by a leading repre- sentative was {hat Russia doubtless will oppose any attempt of the conference to impose BEuroes will upan her as if she were a helpless child, and that Russia. like China, will bitterly oppose any project involving international controi or any kind of warld protectorate. . Similarly, it was predicted among some of the delegates that bolshevik Russia wouid oppose the internatlonal con- sortium plan, just as China hitherto has failed to ratify the consortium arranged for her. “The present Russian idea, as we gather it,” said one chief delegate today, “is that she will insist upon the right of dealing with individual countries and not with Europe as a whole. In other words. she Is apt to maintain that blanket deal- ings with Europe ar® tantamount to the loss of her sovereign rights. Moreover, the contemplated consortium can hardly be effective without participation by the TUnited States. VANDERLIP VISITED GENOA CONFERENCE BUILDING Genoa, April 12—(By The A. P.)— Frank A. Vanderlip, the New York fin- ancier, visited the conference building today and met many of the delegates; he did not, however, attend the meetings, Sir Laming Worthington-Evans said it was likely Mr. Vanderlip and other ex- perts on currency and exchange may be asked to confer with the sub-commis- sions, as the conference is inclined to avail itself of the best advices, regard- less of whether the experts belong to the countries represented. The American ambassador to Italy, Richard Washburn Child, visited Signor Schanzen the Ttalian foreign minister, who supplied him with particulars of, the proceedings of the conferemce. 'Mr. Child declined to comment. The conference has appointed a com- mittee, which includes Itatan, Belgian and Danish delegates, to watch the press view and prevent leakage of documents intended as secret or confidential, TEN PAGES—70 COLUMNS Changeof Att tudeof PRICE TWO CENTS A0SCOEARBUCKLEACQUITTED OF MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE Verdict of Jury Was Reached by Acclamation, the Delibera- tion Taking Less Than One Minute—Arbuckle Received the Verdict With a Great Sigh of Relief—There Was No Demonstration, the Court Having Warned Against It.
