M. PoincanS, the French Premier, told the Chamber last Saturday

that he was going to Genoa on the-strict understanding that the Conference should not discuss the. revision, "whether direct or disguised," of the Treaty of ' Versailles. The Allies would not-consider any demand: for the recognition of Bolshevik Russia until she had given full guarantees of .her acceptance of the conditions laid clown at Cannes ; above ail, the Bolsheviks must assume responsibility for the loans made to Russia before the War.
