Within a day or two of the open- Ing of the Economic Conference at Genoa, a new Supreme Council of Europe was born, Technically it is designated as sub-committee num- her One of Commission. It is sup- posed to deal only with the method of recognising the Soviet government of Russia, That country having agreed by inference more than actual commitment to the terms laid down at 'Cannes, is reasonably sure of recognition in some form, unless its delegates to Genoa should attempt to dictate to the other representa- tives of thirty-three nations gathered there. Russia is the key to the Con- ference; that 'is admitted by all, Not in the sense of being dominant or in a position to lay down terms to the others, But if she does not show a willingness to enter into the agree- ments to be reached, or rather that ER are hoped for, very little that can be counted of importance is likely to be accomplished. Lloyd George, who made one of the greatest speeches of his career at the opening of the Conference, and was tumult. ously applauded by all, reminded the delegates that attendance meant the acceptance of the terms of the Can- nes decision, These of course are applicable at the moment. In brief they provide that a country eannot repudiate its debts whenever it changes its government; that no country can ge war on the insti- tutions of another; that one nation shall not engage in aggressive opera- tions against the territory of an- other; that nationals of one country shall be entitled to impartial justice in the 'courts of another. It is not necessary to dwell on these points, Russian has been declaring that she --- strength.

LJ . With the question of Russian ree- ognition once settled the sub-com- mittee referred to wiil, it 1s helleved, deal with other matters of great im- portanee in so far as their details are concerned. The main Confer- ence will have the power of veto. One of these questions, it is thought, will be Lloyd George's plan to induce all the participants to accept the present, Buropean "frontiers for a fixed period, says ten years. In the interim .the boundaries commissions would complete their work, there would be no neccessity for the main- tainance of armed forces on these frontiers, and the peoples oould turn their undivided attention to the arts of peace. It wouid in fact he a measure of disarmament that has not heen approached by any arrange- ment or agreement heretofore reach- ed. While this proposition is under discussion by committee or among the -delegates in private gathering another important work will pro- gress, This is the general scheme to re-establish European credit, stabilize exchange, co-ordinate the transport system. which in many countries has broken down complete- ly, and restore commerce and indus- try to its proper channels. In other words the aim of the Conference is the restoration of Eurpoe by the] most gigantic co-operatives system | ever attempted. The task may be) impossible for the present Confer-| ence; it may be well started and | continued by a succession of such | gatherings, or it may fall at its very | inception. i in { There is enough electricity in the air at the Genoa Conference to cause We can sell you this fence as cheap as you can buy fence any» | whe - UMHAWA J.

That does France and others for immediate payments. It is more in the way of a precautionary measure with the idea of reminding these nations that measures for the eventual dis- {charge of 1 their obligations are deemed essential. The British Chancellor of the Exchequer is an-| ticipating a balance to the good ofi nearly fifty million pounds, on his forthcoming budget. That will not go far in meeting the pressing claims which the old and is meeting jor facing. With all her financing Come in and examine it when you are in town. !

It's the first great break in the session, and Ottawa is enjoying it, particularly that section of Ot- tawa which makes its living by sit. ting in the Press Gallery through seemingly interminable debates and striving to five to the public 3 more or less intelligent idea of what the different members want for their constituents. The Easter recess is on members have gone home for the week, Some of them, having brought their families to Ottawa, are remaining--as also are some others who are doubtful of losing a day's record in the House with its consequent deduction of $25 per diem and stil others who have found attractions in Ottawa or in the more free and attractive city across the Interprovmeial bridge, which is but a fSve-cent carfare away. Those who have gone will spend most of their time on the train studying the railway speech of Hon. W. C. Kennedy, Minister of Rail- ways and Canals and the evidenee already brought before the Stand- ing Committee on Agriculture which is dealing with the Wheat Board matter. And each of the members going home will have his own series of questions to answer. > . N The railway budget was the big thing of the week. Briefly Mr. Ken- nedy sang 2 song of brighter days for the railways and also for the tax- payers who have a tendency to be- come woefully tired of digging down year after year to replace many millions sunk in deficits oa the Nationally-owned railways. Im- stead of having to provide over $179.000,000 this fiscal year the amount to be voted will be $97.000,- 000. and the "W. C." was in considerably more load of railway worries it' has ace cumulated. - * ¥ Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen quite properly claimed credit for the im- provement during the last year, and said the Jacek of policy in the an- nouncement of the minister "was nothing but an admission of bank- ruptey." And Hon. D, D. McKenzie (known to the Press Gallery as "Smooth-bore") came back with a typical "D. D." claim that the im- provement in the management dur- ing the latter part of |ast year was due to the fact that the railway ex- ecutives knew that a change of gov- ernment was impending and wanted to make a good final spurt.
