THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, MAT 7, 1922 .1 SOVIET AGAIN MAKES REQUEST FOR LOAN Separate Agreement With Britain Held Possible. :RENCH STAND IS FACTOR JPres-cut Oil Drama Is Declared to Be Behind Diplomatic By Play at Genoa. BY SAMUEL SPEWACK. (Copyright by the New Tork Herald Com pany. A II rights reserved.) GENOA, May 6. (Special cable.) The Russians have informed Lloyd George that they still want a loan, traces of which are not yet to be seen. The World is In, a position to state that the visit of Leonid Krassin to Lloyd George's villa is the first step toward a separate agreement with Great Britain "If the French stand is unchanged. At the same time M. Krassin made it clear that the only Incentive for the soviet to assume the contested obligations and the worries of international relations would be a substantial governmental loan and credits. Behind the diplomatic byplay is the present oil drama. Immediately after the furore caused by the publication of the Shell sales agreement, Genoa was clogged by representatives of in ternational oil Interests. Oil Concession Grab Begun. Newspapers of all countries spread the oil stories on their front pages and the grab for oil concessions was on. The Russian delegation, bom barded by prospective oil-field ex ploiters, 13 obviously in a strategic position. From the position of the bad boy of the conference, Russia has been transformed by the light of oil into the returned prodigal, bearing his own fatted calf. Krassin, during M3 visit at the Villa Albertla. talked with both Sir Worth Ington Evans and the British premier. According to reports, the former, who saw the Russian first, was unrespon sive, but when Mr. Lloyd George en tered the room the atmosphere changed and Krassin left sat'sfied that his country will obtain what she wants, or nearly that. KiiMSiann Are I ndlNttirbed, So while rumors that the confer ence is near its end are flying thick and fast the Russians are undisturbed. They are convinced a series of pri vate agreements will be added to their German treaty. Tho prospective line-up for such agreements now includes Great Brit ain. Italy and Czecho-Slovakia. Po land and Roumania present obstacles, owing to frontier questions, but the soviet delegates are not worrying about this now. With the agreements contemplated, with recogn it Ion and a loan from these conn tries, they can hie them selves back to Moscow, probably the most contented delegation to leave the conference. piesent. The British steamer Welsh Prince was berthed at the Harvey dock, on the south side of the bridge approach, yesterday and loaded lum ber for the orient. At the hall of the employers. Second and Oak streets, it was said there were more men available than re quired to load the vessels In port and with more due today it was regarded certain all would be given full crews. Employers Predict Success. The strike was inaugurated two weeks ago today.and employers assert no doubt exists in their minds as to the future of the system of hiring men on an Independent basis. There are no surface indications hat the u-nion is less active than before in supporting its cause, though It has granted ground to the other side in agreeing to discard the list system. One lone official utterance from the employers yesterday came after the session with Mr. Jenkins, and was as follows: "Representatives of the Waterfront Employers union of Portland msfde the statement that their whole union had met with Mr. Jenkins of the ship ping board at the Chamber of Com merce this morning, when conditions leading up to the strike were re viewed. "As a result of the conferencs Mr. Jenkins stated that the government's policy is to maintain a neutral atti tude." MEETS NEW CRISIS France and Belgium Join Opposing Memorandum. MEETING IS ENDANGERED issue May or 5Iay Xot Be Settled Before British Premier Re turns to London. GEiNOA, May 6. (By the Associated Press.) France -will stand with Bel gium in- opposing that part of the allies' memorandum to Russia, deal ing with the property in Russia of foreign owners. In consequence 'of this decision which was communicated to Premier' Lloyd' George by M. Barthou, headi of the French delegation, tonight, an other crisis has arisen which endan gers the conference and may or may not be settled before the British prime minister returns to London. If the views of Belgium with re spect to this- article can be ntet and it is considered, possible that the Bel gians may modify their demands to seme degree France will place no ob stacle in the way of a settlement. The Russians, however, are still to be heard, from. Their, .r.epjy will prob ably be delivered! within two or three days and it is known definitely that they will present numerous objections interests are attempting to t- the conditions set forth by the al conditions upon the long-I Hed nowers. Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great Britain and "Vice-Premier Bar thou of France held a conference at 5 o'clock this afternoon, after which it was stated that their meet ing offered no relief of the strained situation of the economic conference. Nothing will be decided definitely, however, it was stated, pending Rus sia's reply to the allied memorandum. M. Barthou stated that France was firm in her decision to stand by Belg-ium and that he had been in structed In Paris to withhold French approval of the Russian memoran dum until Belgium had agreed to article seven, .-formerly article six relating to the restoration of private property to ex-foreign owners.

In summarizing details from the standpoint of the union lonsrshorempn. I which have led to action being taken to refuse to handle cargo at ports of discharge from vessels loaded here by non-union crews, A. J. Chlopek, president of the International Long shoremen's association, made the fol lowing statement yesterday: "The shipping industry In the Port of Portland is In a very deplorable condition and is being diverted from this port to other coast ports for the reason that the steamship and steve doring Impose shoremen of this port that are un bearable and will not work out to the best interest of the port. The em- I plovers are condemning the long shoremen for maintaining a hiring hall through which they furnish labor tq the employers in this port, but are insisting upon their right in establishing a hiring hall for the purpose of crucifying the longshore men's union. "A claim s being made by the em ployers that the longshoremen's t nion restricts the number of men employed as longshoremen in this port and thereby creating inefficiency and. further, claiming that there should be at least 1500 longshoremen available at all. times to take care of the tonnage in this port.

Wagner has been working at the Eastern & Western dumber com pany'a dock, loading the steamer Solano. The third man. Riom Gould, -4 years old, was hit from behind with an iron pipe and suffered a bad scalp wound. He was walking away from the Tay !or-street dock when his assailant slusscd hfcvt. Gould had been working at the North Bank dock. By bringing to bear its affiliated strength at American Atlantic coat ports and those In Europe, through calling on coworkers marshaled under the banner of the International Long shoremen's association, not to dis charge cargo from vessels dispatched from Portland with the assistance of non-union longshoremen, the associa tlon yesterday fired what it hoped would be a disastrous shot against tho employers in connection with the waterfront strike. On the other hand, the Waterfront Employers union announced yester day, following a general meeting with J. C. Jenkins, director of industrial relations of the shipping hoard, that aa a result of the session Mr. Jenkins had said the board's policy was to maintain a neutral attitude. With the government holding to a neutral position, employers think the union will not havo support that was expected from that quarter, and on th strength of private information that Intercoastal steamship operators are certain New York cargo and that at other ports can be taken care of without delay, they do not anticipate bringing the International Long shoremen's association into t he Port land case will prove serious. International to Aid Striker. As to why the International ban was not placed on cargo loaded at San Francisco and. Seattle, where the employers have the same system as Is being brought into use here, A. J. Chlopek. president of the interna tional organisation, who has been here most of the week from Buffalo, says In those cases the situation did not attain International scope as now and that the Portland local has ful filled all of the requirements of the International, so Is entitled to Its aid. Shtpa were worked yesterday along the front and cases were reported of non-union longshoremen being pounced on by some, of the squads doing picket duty. Because of an at tack made Priday on men engaged In loading the steamer Davenport at the Southern Pacific siding, north of the east approach of the Burnside-street bridge, where it Is said to be impra tlcable to afford protection, vessels are not to be worked there for the honorable means to bring about an amicable and stisfactory adjustment of this dispute, but the employer re fuses to do so, as his mind is set that the so-called Fink hiring hall must be established and thereby the long shoremen's union destroyed. Our local organization has complied with every law within our international organi zation, and this now resolves itself into a conflict wherein our interna tional organization is forced to take a hand and we will be forced to use all of the weapons at our command in resisting the attempts of the em ployer. "Instructions have been issued to our organizations on the Atlantic sea board, as well as on the gulf coast, that ships loaded by non-union labor in the Port of Portlanad will not be bandied by members of our organiza tion. We also have a very clos-e affil iation with the International Trans port Workers' federation of Europe, and wTe are assured that they will render our international all assistance possible. J. H. Fricke, vice-president, who is also president of the south Atlantic and gulf coast district, is sailing from New York Monday. May 8, to visit all of the important Euro pean ports for the purpose of bringing to the attention of the European workers the conflict which is now in full force at the Port of Portland. "Some days ago the Uni ted States shipping board requested members of our local organization to work ship ping board vessels In accordance with the old working conditions and old rates of pay. and said if they agree to do so the board would dispatch a representative to Portland immedi ately to attempt to bring about a staisfactory adjustment. This was agreed to by our local organization. and J. C. Jenkins was dispatched from Washington and during the past week has been putting forth his very best efforts to bring about a satisfactory, understanding In conjunction with' Mr. Orient on, loca I representative of the division of operation, but with out success. "The responsibility for the condi- tions that now exist in the shipping industry rests solely and wholly upon the steamship and stevedoring inter ests of this port, as the United States shipping board and our local organ ization did everything within their power to bring- about an adjustment." ;ner.- will be no conference meet ings tomorrow. It was still uncertain ton:ght whether the Russian reply would be given Monday or not. al though, it is expected that Mr. Lloyd George and M. Barthou also discuss the proposed meeting of the powers signatory to the treaty of Versailles to discuss German reparations that are due May 31. The French chief delegate stated that France was not prepared to discuss reparations until after Ma; 31. when it will be known whether the Germans will default in payments due on that date. France Playing Lone Hand. This attitude, it is generally be lived, is indicative of France's inten tion to handle reparations matters a4one, as was indicated by Premier Poincare In his recent addrass at Bar le Due. The official French narrative of to day's happenings not only shows that the conference is endangered, but also indicates a distinct divergence of views between France and England, tending to emphasize the differences that have frequently arisen between them during the conference. The British premier in his meeting with M. Barthou refused to agree to any further modification of the mem orandum, which already is in the hands of the Russian delegation. Italian Minister Visited. M. Barthou first saw the Italian foreign minister, Signor Schanzer, and found him busy trying to frame a formula on the question of property rights in Russia which would satisfy everybody and avoid a rupture of the conference.

Signor Schanzer then referred to the provisions of the Cannes resolu tion and emphasized that they made it clear that Russia would be given the right to establish such adminis tration of property within her boun daries as she wished, The problem was io reconcile this right with suit able guarantees that foreigners' prop erty would be respected. Harmony Problem Baffling. How to harmonize these two things so as to please everybody, the Italian minister admitted, was a serious ques tion that he had failed up to the pres ent to work out. ' M.
