GENOA CONFERENCE.
Riga, April 1,
The latest signideant pre-Genoa development is the signing of
• protocol between the Russian delegates to Ganda and representa- tives of the Baltic States, after a conference here, governing the action of the signatories on certain questions at Genoa, The participants will welcome the assistance of foreign capital for the reconstruction of East Europe, but this must not encroach on the palitical and economic sovereignty of the States. The States favour some degree of recognition for Russia. Esthunian Latvian sud Polish delegates participated in the Conference. Finland participat- nd as a listener.
Rome, April J.
The alarmist rumours regarding the safety of the delegates to the Genoa Conference are denied here. They are attributed to a desire to undermine the success of the Conference.
Berlin, April 1.
The principals of the Russian Genos delegation, including MM. Tchiteherin. Joffe und Litvino, have arrived and were met by a representative of the Foreign Office, The station was strongly | guarded by police. The other delegates, with M. Krassin, are ex pected late. The whole delegation will stay in Berlin for several days.
The Hague, April 1. The Premier, M. Beerenbrouck, and the Foreign Minister, M. Karpsbeek, will represent Holland at Gen: Doctor Patyn will tel extra delegate.
Paris, April 1
In the course of an interpellation in the Chamber, M. Poincare referred to numerous indirect messages recently received from the Soviets, suggesting a joint arrangement is connection with Gezza. M. Poincare replied that he was declining to act separately from Britain and Italy.
ARMAMENTS CONFERENCE.
Washington, April 1.
The State Department has sent notes to eight cations represented at the recent Armaments Conference, expressing readiness to ex- change ratiñcations of the treaties just approved by the Senate.
Paris, April 2
In the Chamber M. Poincare opined that the Washington agreement did not afford satisfaction from the viewpoint of French Pacific possessions, but it pressed advantages and Parliament would be asked to ratify it. He hoped that both Houses would associate themselves with President Harding's action in connec tion with the Sava! Treaty. Discussion theron was premature for the present.
EUROPEAN RECONCILIATION.
new
New York, April 1. Prior to leaving for Berlia, Mr. Alansin Houghton, the American Ambassader to Germany, said he hoped to renew the ancient ties of respect and mutual service between the United States and Germany, Americans could not be contented as a nation so long as their own fellow citizens of German ancestry were e bittered by a sense of injustice. The war was ended, and the loser must foot the bill; but causes and apportionment of the blame were matters which he for one would no longer discuss. He opined that European civilisation would at least perish unless practical recon dillation was worked out in Europe similar to the dying-out hatred htreen North and South in the United States.
BANQUE INDUSTRIELLE.
Paris. April 1. The examining Magistrate in the Banque Industrielle case close- y examined M. Pernotte, particularly regarding the financial opera lions of the Squiete Pacifique. Inter-alia M. Pernote stated that when he left the Banque there were sufficient funds as a guarantee, upon which the Magistrate requested 3. Percotte to furnish proofs and figures. M. Pernotte demanded that time be allowed for the purpose and was then temporarily liberated.
The Magistrate also interrogated M. Andre Berthelot, brother al M. Philippe Berthelot who was recently condemned to ten years' retirement. 3. Andre Berthelotte gave further explanations regard ing the three million franba which he gave to his brother. insisted that the sums were in no wise connected with the funds of He the Banque but represented his own private savings.

AMERICAN COAL STRIKE.
New York, April 1. Telegrams from various mining centres indicate that the mex came out at midnight in accordance with the strike order. Kentucky is the only field where work continues, the men's contract running for another twelve months. The Miners' Union has ordered thirteen thousand men at various places to remain to work the pumps, etc. In ambers involved the strike is the greatest experienced in the United States. It extends to the Canadian mites in Alberta and British Columbia. The acthracite miners demand an increase of wages, and others are opposing the proposed reductions. The fight also aims at preservation of the unien system of bargaining whic has grown up in the last forty years. The situation will be much more serious should other unions decide to join the miners in their fight against falling wages.
Indianapolis, April 1.
The miners' demand for an increase of wages on the expiration of their current wage contracts is mainly responsible for the coat strike which begins to-day, javolving half a million unionist miners and a large number of non-unionista. The duration of the stoppage and the approaching warm weather will lessen consumption. The is conjectural since accumulated stocks represent six weeks supplies Gorerament anticipate that non-unierists produce fifty per cent. of the normal output Negotiations at the anthracite fields are still endearouting to a new scale, while as regards the bituminous fields, the Secretary of Labour blames the owners who repeatedly refused to confer with the workers.
