C The state de partment made public the text of a message to Ambassador Child at Genoa declining the invitation to par ticipate in the new European economic conference at The Hague. "This government," the American communication sald,'is unable to con clude that it can helpfully participate In the meeting at The Hague, as this would appear to be the continuance under a different nomenclature of the Genoa conference and destined to en counter the same difficulties If the attitude disclosed in the Russian mem orandum of May 11 remains un changed." The state department's communica tion said the American government "has always been ready" to Join other governments in an inquiry by experts into the economic situation In Russia and the necessary remedy. Such an inquiry, it was added, could deal ap propriately "with the economic pre requisites" for restoration of Russian production, without which a sound ba sis for credits would be lacking. In conclusion the - American com munication renewed the offer to give serious attention to any "proposals issuing from a jtlenoa conference or any later conference," but added that the suggestions for the meeting at The Hague, in view Of the Russian memorandum of May 11, lacked "the deflniteness which would make possi ble the concurrence of this govern ment In the proposed plan."
