THE UNITED STATES
BALKS5T GENOA
CONFERENCE
Principles Political Rather Than Econ
omic and Financial
to Govern.
Secretary Hughes, representing the
United States declined the invitation
to the government to participate in
the Genoa conference. His ground
for declining is that the conference
is to be political. He suggests how
ever, readiness to take part in a con
ference devoted to the settlement of
economic and financial questions re
lating to European recuperation.
The seriousness of the situation
now lies in the rules and regulations
which the allied countries have hedg
ed about the conference. They have
laid down the principles that each
country is to decide for itself its re
gime of economy, government and
property.
This means capitalistic things for
capitalists' countries, and communist
things for communistic countries. To
be specific, it means that Russia can
expect no help from those who are
able to help her. And with help
from other countries the conference
will be to her of no value. With
foreign capital the soviet can estab
lish prosperity it is believed. With
out it, she must continue her present
struggle. To renounce her com
munism is not likely since she has so
long sacrificed and struggled for it.
Another condition is that all nations
to take part shall be not guilty of
aggression against their neighbors.
This is a tender point since some vie
tors want more than they are entitl
ed to under the peace treaties and
others who were defeated are only
waiting a chance to retrieve.
This country waits fdV Russia to
evolve conditions economic and fin
ancial satisfactory to us before re
sumption of trade. Other nations
hope for the "open door" in order that
Germany may exploit her with the
results that they may get their re
paration share.
