GENOA DEBATES END IN FAILURE SO FAR AS RUSSIA IS CONCERNED Soviet Delegates' Reply to Powers is Considered Unsatis- factory Question of Prolonging the Conference is Now Being Argued by Britain, France and Italy. A despatch from Genoa says: The entire' month's work of -the Genoa Oomf erernce was wiped out on Thurs- day when, after the powers had re- fused the demand of the men from Moscow for a billion-dollar loan, tho Russian de'csratea sent a reply to the powers' IN nations which makes it practically impossible to effect a fin- ancial an.l economic settlement with 'Russia at Genoa. *rhe Ru'iy-Jar- reply is not a flat "no," Jbut it ra a "90 per cent, no." The 10 per cent, "yes" consisted in a proposal that a commis/sion cf experts be named to review the Russian financial situa- tion, aird in a nervy proposal that the Russian rielcpration fhould neverthe- less remain at Genoa to discuss other cfuestions cf the agenda, inch;d'ng the compact of non-ajrgres^ion. Not oi>e of the corr.Hticna impostd by the pow-l ers as th price cf resuming commer-' chd relatioj.i with Russia was ac-| cepted. What turn the couforence will now' take car.not 'be told at present. Mr. Lloyd r.eortrf-. i* desperately hoping to make s^mcthirtsf out of the ccnference, and would Continue it for the discus- ; elon of other than the Russian finan- cial and economic problems. The Italians agree. The French, on the SS^&z \/ ' other hand, see no use going on, and declare they do not wwh to treat political questions with Russia if Rus- sia rf:i>:es to shoulder her obligations. As for Mr. Lloyd Gt-orge's wish to go on toward the compact of non-aggres- sion,' the French quote the British Premier as saying that the non- aggresaion compact depended abs'o- iutely on a Russian settlement. The French have asked Premier Poincare for instructions. If he orders them hrme they will leave at once and; expect at feast five delegations to go' with them. If he orders the delega- tion to stay, they will remain as long us Mr. Lloyd George wishes the con- ference to continue. This is a summary of the Russian reply: 1. Rus:-Aa must have a loan. 2. She is wiping to negotiate for' comper.-saticTi of confiscated private; property, although not recognizing the principle. 3. She refuses, to stop internal, propaganda, but will abandon it in! other coualries where it is against tha law. The document is consistent from the Moscow standpoint. It stands obstinately on the right to confiscate' property in a revolution. '^rrnm^^-^ i mm* ^*:^~-^~-^L$/i A Patriotic Innovation. Chinese Flying School Opened at Esquimault A despatch from Victoria, B.C., says: Headed by a group of Chinese of British j nationality, mainly of thej younger set, a Chinese flying school is to be opened in Es- quimault. The first machine, a Curtiss, with pontoons, is to be ready for service on May ; 25. The object of the flying I school, which will follow one ' in operation in Kamloops, for the last two years, is to train pilots for aviation, so these men, when trained, may re- turn to China to carry on the flying services of that land. - _^_ New Plane's Speed 100 Miles Per Hour A despatch from I'nrb saya: The wwld's greatest 'bip'iaiMj ha just fin- ished its ftival tnut in the a?r<xlrome at Oriy zuid *or: wi" romini'ti.-j tran.-)- Rurapean fligiht~\ PrcbaUy it will b<i ijed hi a rew uttvmpt tx> ert>es the Atlantic 'late this tiiimmer It ia Kr oonstruction, with four propeller* four 400 honw>-p>oww motors.

Tin- buy or The bigueit thinig that has happened in university cinclos for some time was the creation last week of the School cf Pcs.tgr:>duate Studi at the University cf Toronto. It is a re- pretab!e fact that each year gradu- ates of Canadian Universities bave : gone to tho United States to secure more advanced education than was ob- ' tainable hi this Dominion and that many of thoe 'brightest of young men and women have nut leturned to Canada but have remained 1 in posi- tions of various kinds across the bor-[, der. This has been a serious loss to this country. Now, with the estab- lishment of the new School at On- tario's Provincial University, no student need leave his native land for more education. Gra^uatfcs of Univer- sities in Western and Eastern Canada will be encouraged! to pursue their ! postgraduate Rtud'iej in Toronto, andj Canada will be able to keep her in- telleetuiU giants at home. Nor willl the nc-w school interfere with the work of any other university. Relatively j littte postgraduate work M attempted ' in Western or Eastern Universities in ' ('ar.^dft and t'nes* institutions will, no dovibt, encourage their graduates to 1 utilize the postgraduate facilities of- fered at the University of Toronto.
