GENOA A FAILURE.
Washington May 10, The State Department has declined the invitation to participate in the Hague Conference.
The statement, which has been transmitted by the American Ambassador to Italy, says that the United States is unable to con clade it can helpfully participate in the meeting at the Hague, es it would appear to be a continuance under a different nomenclature of the Genoa Conference, and destined to encounter the same difficulties if the attitude disclosed in the Russian memorandum of May 1 remains unchanged.
London, May 16.
For the moment at ali events sceptics and believers alike are inclined to chan: the funeral oration of many of Genca's hopes. Yesterday was a day alternating between courage and despair, with a distine: revival of sptimism towards mid-night. when Bakowsky stated, albeit with numerous reservations regarding the wisdom thereof, that Russia would go to the Hague, and simultantously the American Ambassador to Italy was credited with stating he believed the United States would participate. Indeed it was widely reported that passares providing firstly for no separate agreements and recondly that the Commission report to the Governments instead of being empowered to take final decision were inserted with a view to meeting the wishes of America, thereby also placating France. wh.se views on the Russian question largely coincide with those of Americs. Consequently Washington's decision created despondency. based on the belief that the Hague Conference will be most unpremis. ing if France is hostile thereto. Nevertheless there remain,a dwindling few who trust the Premier's ingenuity to find a way out of the difficulty
PROHIBITION LAW SEIZURE.
Washington, May 16,
The Supreme Court has decided that liquors in transit across the United States from one foreign pdri to another are liable to seizure under the prohibition law.
General relief is felt in trade circles in consequence of another decision of the Supreme Court, namely that of ruling out a section recently enacted regarding future trading, the law imposing a tax of twenty cents a bushel on speculative dealings.
The Supreme Court has also ruled out the child labour law which taxes, the profits of ennterns emploging children.

London, May 16.
In an editorial dealing with Anglo-Japanese relations, with special relation to the Prince of Wales visit, the Daily Telegrapi says that if the visit places the traditional friendship of the two nations on a new basis containing the elements of permanence. that is a development which will be a source of gratification to the people of Britain.

EDUCATION OF CHINESE,
London. Mar 16.
In the House of Commons, replying to Sir J. D. Rees, Mr. Harms- worth said that a Committee on the education of Chinese en British lines had been appointed because the British community in China and well-informed cpinion in England believed the question to be considerably important. Unitil the Committee reported it was pre- mature to discuss the question of expenditure.
Sir J. D. Rees pointed out that taxpayers and ratepayers in Britain ware finding 10 millions sterling this year for education and asked were they not entitled to any little thing that might he them to meet that burden.
Mr. Graham Stewart pointed out that Americans had investea a great deal of money in educating Chinese, and if we did the same it would very much help British trade and interests.
Mr. Harmsworth replied that he was aware Americans kad spênt large sums on education in China, and they considered them very well spent indeed.
Sir Josiah Wedgwood suggested that in view of a change of government in China the Government should renew representations regarding default in the Vickers-Marconi loan issues and also con- cerning grounds whereon additional security for these loans was refused.
Mr. Harmsworth promised that the Minister at Peking would · continue to press for the interest due.
