Delegates to Genoa Meet Hope for Peaceful Path
Delegates to Genoa discuss disarmament and other matters with a view to steering the conference toward a peaceful outcome. A sub committee was formed despite initial resistance from lesser powers, and Russia and Germany were allowed to speak at the opening session as a gesture of forgiveness. France resisted but tolerance grew as nations showed willingness to set aside war hatreds, though Russia complains about Japan and Romania occupying territory. A period of armed neutrality and occasional outbreaks of irritation is noted, with expectations the accord will pause for Good Friday and Easter.
