The Genoa economic conference will be reconvened on June 15 at The Hague to discuss Russian questions, if the plan agreed to Sunday afternoon at a private conference of the Inviting powers be accepted by the subcommlsslon on Russian affairs. Tlte decision to postpone nctlon relative to Russia Is prompted largely by the desire of the European powers to, induce the. United States to participate, and apparently Is merely a means of dissolving the Genoa conference without admitting that the differences between France and Great Britain regarding treatment of Russian problems cannot be reconciled in Genoa. Sir Edward Grigg announced that this compromise plan suggested by Premier Lloyd George had been accepted by the inviting powers and will be passed on by the suhcommisslon on Russian affairs. Only vague details are given as to how the proposed commission or commissions to discuss the Russian ques-ti- o will be formed at The Hague, and the entire scheme seems to be still In the twilight zone, awaiting America's decision whether she will help Europe straighten out the tangle.

With this to hand with the statement that It was constitutional, the governor affixed his signature and the bill became law.

CONFERENCE IN PROPOSEL ECONOMIC CONVENE ICAN SUGAR COMPANY Cass Has Been Courts. CHILE AND PERU GENOA MEETING SUGAR CONCERNS Salt Lake. er TIMES-NEW- tatives. Present at the meeting at Mr. Lloyd George's villa in addition to the British prime minister, were M. Barthou, of France, Foreign Minister Schan-zeItuly; Viscount Ishli, Japan, and M. Jaspar, Belgium. After the morning session Mr. Lloyd George said that considerable progress bad been made toward effecting a compromise of th commission or commissions proposed by the consideration of Russian finances. At the conclusion of the afternoon session it was announced that the meeting had "satisfactorily settled all business submitted." It was agreed to ascertain whether the United State was inclined to participate in the commission aud that no separate agreements should be concluded with Russia pending the work of the commission which must report within three months. A proposal for a nonaggresslon truce on a reciprocal basis during the labors of the commission also was adopted. In his statement on the projiosed mixed commission, Sir Edward Grigg explained that It was practically impossible for all the powers in the conference to have representatives consequently they would designate a limited number to handle Russian affars Just as was done at Genoa, and that the Russians doubtless would be allowed more members in their panel than any other power would buve lu the mixed panel. In the meantime a truce will opertiie and all the nations are to refrain frou making separate agreements with Russia. The economic conference seemingly will last only a few days longer. Sev eral delegates declared Sunday that this week would probably bring It to a close. Four months will be the maximum time of the truce suggested In connection with Rusxian affairs. The plan of The Hague meeting provides that a decision must be rendered within three months of June and an additional month will be allowed within which the powers may rejwt or ratify the decblon. Consequently October 20 will be the extreme limit of the truce. r, pro-pose- d 20-2- Latin-Americ- a.

At the beginning of the real worn of the nogotiatlons new representatives of the United States will be present. The conference marks a resumption, of diplomatic relations formally broken off in K10, although there have been a number of diplomatic exchanges since by roundabout channels. In the spirit wldch animated the opening day, diplomatic observers here professed to see unusual promise of success for the gathering. In all her previous expressions Peru has maintained that not only the little tract of Tacna-Aric- a was in dispute, but that she desired a broad adjustment of nil the other issues growing out of the war on the Pacific.
