Tha difference between tha French and

Tha French believe that the Genoa

Tha. other allies insist that Franca la

Genoa. April z. A paradox gone
mad." la tha Attest description of tha
present phase of tha Genoa conference.
Always paradoxical. It has now become
fantastical.
. When the boleevlkl. whom tha Ger
mane employed ito detach Russia from
tha allied causa. -and who afterward mur
dered the caar and tha imperial family
under elrcumetanees of revolting' brutal
ity, who killed, tortured, or caused the
assassination of tana af thousands of
their fellow countrymen ; who plundered
tha public treasury, private purses, banks
and churches with fine Impartiality
who wrecked and ruined Russia beyond
hops of reconstruction and brought npon
her an unexampled famine, culminating
in widespread cannibalism when repre
sentatives of these men wars invited to
Genoa to assist. In the reconstruction of
Europe, tha paradox, it seamed, could go
no farther. ,

XrCH SECRECY" VAT3TTA1XED .
Tha first exchanges at opinion between
Japan and Russia, I am Informed, began
about March 20 through private char
nels. . Waahlngton and certain financial
circles in New Tork are said to have, in
formation concerning these negotiations.
Officially, the Japanese delegation
here denies that. there, are any negotia
tions going : on. while Tchitcherin has
said nothing concerning them so far,
It may be recalled that both Russian
and" German officials denied to me in
Berlin that a treaty was being negoti
ated between the two countries, show
ing what reliance can be placed in offi
cial denials when big interests are at
stake.. ' !.
As in the German-Russian treaty, tne
private exchanges between the Russians
and' Japanese laid stress on the "eco
nomic? nature of tha agreement to be
arrived at nod that chiefly pertaining
to the Japanese interests in Siberia.
"ECOirOMlCS. IS GUISE
"Economics" . is the .guise " for ' ttie
world's new diplomacy. 1
Two things have given impetus to the
Russian-Japanese dealings.. First Is the
Rusao-German treaty ! the other, the
fact that Washington continues to turn
Its back Politically on the new Russia,
The Germans, who are being kept In
formed on tha Russo-Japanese conver
sation, strongly objected for some tlms
asralnst Japan becomlnr a member of
the eeonomio league" on the ground
that 4t would prejudice America, which
Germany considers is far preferable,
because its bigger treasury is so vital-
America's final refusal to be anything
mora than a big-hearted philanthropist
to the suffering Russian famine districts
haa had its effect in recent weeks of ne-
rotiatlons again being taken up with
Janan nrivately.' " : i . :
In certain 'quarters which "profess to
know of these negotiations tha greatest
optimism is expressed that before. the
end ot tha year a great league upon an
"economic basis" from the North sea to
tha Pacific will become aa accomplished
