Genos. May 9. The Russians have communicated the general trend of their teply to the Allied memorandum, which will be presented to-morrow.
The reply is apparently long an i argumentative. The Russian delegates declare that the Note has bean prepared in à spirit of conciliation and goes to the furthest extent possible as regards concessions.
After disagreeing with some of the memorandum proposals, the hope is expressed that the difficulty will not present itself of eliminat- ng the political features of the memorandum, inasmuch as Bussians generally have endeavoured to bridge the conflicting social and economic systems. The desire is emphasised that negotiations shall not be raptured.
