GENOA PARLEY IS TOO EARLY TO SUIT U. S. Will Be Held While Results of Washington Armament Conference Are Being Debated in Senate. RUSSIA EMBARRASSING

By MARK 51LUVAX WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. If the United States had been consulted ia advance about the date of the Genoa conference we would probably have recommended a time much later than the March 8 date now fixed. If there were any way to postpone the Genoa conference a month or two it would make more simple the problem which our government must now consider of whether or not to participate. March 8 will be just about the middle of the period when the results of the present Washington conference will be debated in the senate. Between the two there is no necessary connection. But it is readily apparent that the senate debate on ratification of the results of the present Washington conference might be embarressed or otherwise affected by matters arising contemporaneously in a world conference at Genoa. No one can forsee all the possible turns that the Genoa conference may take. Some of these turns might be of such a nature as to give a handle to senators who don't want us to participate in any kind of world association at all. Debate to Be On. More fundamentally, it has been a cardinal principle in the conduct by Americans of the present Washington conference that the' things attempted here must bp completed and accepted and wholly out of the way before we take up any other world affairs. It is irue the actual sessions of the present conference will have ended a considerable period before March 8. but the results arrived at by the conference cannot, be regarded as completely achieved xuntil after our senate has notified them. About the time the Washington conference opened Ambassador Harvey in a public speech at London making a pointedly adverse allusion to the Paris peace conference, said that the present conference was called "Not to see whether the Nations of the world could agree upon all things, but to see whether they could agree upon one thing." Also President Harding and Secretary Hughes have by their conduct let it be seen that they have aldays regarded the success of the present conference as a preliminary test which should determine America's willingness or unwillingness to participate in future conference. Would Like More Time. It is true that the present, conference has already achieved substantial success in agreeing upon the main outlines of the principal subject limitation of naval armament but it. is nevertheless, also true that, it would be much more comfortable -for America if the success of the present conference could be more definitely and finally assured before the calling of the (ipnoa conference, and before the even earlier necessity, which' is upon us right now, of giving an answer to the invitation and saying definitely whether we will or will not participate. Regardless of date, another aspect of the Genoa conference which may affect adversely America's inclination to participate in it Is the announcement of Premier Poincare of France,! that the Genoa conference must not take up the subject, of German repara-j iions. It has been more or less a definite policy in our conduct of foreign affairs that the German reparation must first be fixed before anything practicable can be done as 'to oilier aspects of stabilizing the world economically and politically. Russia Embarrassing In short, if the Genoa conference is to meet and talk and end with the German reparations undevised there is little use of our participation in it; to do so would be like attempting to build the walls of a house before the foundation stones are made secure. Finally, the mere presence of the Russian government at the Genoa conference will constitute a kind of indirect recognition of the soviet. On this subject our government has had a definite policy different from that of some European governments. Whether or not we are to recognize the present Russian regime might better be considered directly and singly as a principal subject of policy, either by ourselves alone or in conference with other nation's. Altogether, the preparations for the Genoa conference have not been managed in such a way as to make it easy for our government to decide the question of participation.

SIBERIAN QUESTION SETTLE

AGREE UPON fBy Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Virtual settlement of the Siberian question, so far as the Washington arms conference is concerned, was understood to have been reached today at the meeting of the Far Eastern committee, with the acceptance of the Japanese statement promising complete withdrawal from Russian territory upon establismment of staple government. Secretary Hughes made n statement of the position of the United States in the course of which he was understood to have re-affirmed the policy of the American government as against territorial aggression. Agreement on the Pacific island fortifications question under which the Bonin islands adjacent to Japan are not to be fortified, also was reported to have been reached.. Japanese delegates, it was said, agreed to the final drafting of the naval treaty to include a clause prohibiting fortification of the Bonin islands. The treaty clause containing a description of the Pacific islands, which should not be fortified, was said to have reached the point of final drafting.

The proposed conference in Washington between representatives of Peru and Chile will become non-effective, as far as Chile is concerned, if Bolivia's request that she be permitted to participate in the negotiations is accepted by the United States government. This statement of Chile's position was given by foreign minister Barros Jarpa to the correspondent in discussing the note sent to President Harding last week by President Saavedra of Bolivia. Senor Jarpa indicated that the question of the Lapaz- government's intervention must be decided by Chile and Peru. He asserted that Chile had accepted trie invitation of the Washington government to a conference to deal with uncomplied clauses of the treaty of Ancon, "which only affect Chile and Peru.'" "Moreover," 'he added, "the circumstances that the department of state'a invitation was directed only to Chile and Peru reveals that in the judgment of the United States these are the sole countries interested in the question." The foreign minister declared that under the treaty Boliva had accepted compensation from Chile amounting to b.000,000 pounds sterling tor her coastal territories and added that for Bolivia to reclaim these after benefiting from the compensation was "the same as if Mexico reclaimed Texas". A cabinet meeting is to be held today after which the names of Chile's plenipotentiaries to the Washington conference are expected to be given out.

DELINQUENT PROPERTY TAX LIST DECREASES, ACCORDING TO REPORT A considerable decrease in the number of pieces of real estate to be sold for taxes is seen this year in the. city of Richmond, as compared with last year, according to County Treasurer Thomas Ahl. The delinquent tax list for those who have failed to pay in the past year, has just been pub lished for the first time. These lists are published three times before the property is. sold for taxes. Last year, Richmond had 11 J pieces of real estate to offer for sale after the list had been published the third time. This year the list starts with only 100 and this number is sure to grew less with each publication. Delinquent taxes for various townships this year and the amount delinquent last year, follows: Boston, 1921, $264.35; 1922. $76.83; Greene, 1921, $9.54; 1922, $349.52.

CARDINALS ON WAY TO PICK PAPALRULER Expected to Arrive Momen- . tarily Convene Feb. 2 -Hold First Pontifical High 'Mass for Benedict XV. FUNERALWEDNESDAY

(By Associate! Prsss) ROME, Jan. 24 The first of the nine pontifical high masses for th? late Pope Benedict XV was sung this morning with grand solemnity in the basilica of St. Peter. ; there were solemn ceremonies in all the great basilicas including the Lateran and Santa Maria Maggiore. The time of the burial had not yet been definitely decided upon today, but it remains tentatively fixed for Wednesday, afternoon. All the while, too, mournful crowds continued filing past the catafalque in fat. Peter's on which lies the body of Benedict XV. Thousands unon thsands of people were still paying their last tribute todav. Estimates of the number of persons who filed past the bier of the pope yesterday, ranged between 200,000 anJ 300,000, and it was expected these figures would be largely exceeded today. Meanwhile the first of the foreign cardinals are momentarily expected 1o arrive in Rome and workmen are busily engaged in the Vatican, making ready the quarters for the conclave of the Sacred college, which will elect a successor to the dead pontiff. The brief interval before the convening of the conclave, which has been set for Feb. 2, will, however, prevent some of them, notably Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia and the Canadian and Brazilian cardinals, from arriving in time to vote, unless the election is unduly prolonged. Cardinal O'Connell of Eoston has cabled that he js taking passage today and ha a possible chance to enter the election, providing the new pope is not chosen on the first ballot. "There is no outstanding figure among the candidates for the hieh post but Cardinal Maffi, archbishon of Pisa, is prominently mention aa the government's choice. Others bv ing discussed are Cardinal LaFontair.a of Venice and Cardinal Batti of Milan. The interment of Benedict has been fixed tentatively for tomorrow. thusual period of lying in state being curtailed because of the prelate's wish that his body be not embalmed. 'Favor Agreement.

"It follows," says the newspaper, "that the candidate to whom the government will give all its suppoi;t wouhl be Cardinal Maffi, who is noted for ' Italianity." The Stefani news agency says th'report is semiofficially declared to bo without foundation. It is added that the Italian government will maintain an absolutely correct attitude. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.
