Russia's reply to Allied memo eyed as negotiation basis
Russia's reply to the Allied memorandum before the Genoa conference is seen as conciliatory and a potential basis for further talks. It suggests submitting tangled financial problems to a mixed expert committee named by Genoa, offering a way to ease tensions and move toward resolving the property issue. France and Belgium express disappointment and dissatisfaction, and Barthou says the reply does not fully address Allied proposals. The conference's future remains highly uncertain, with some predicting a premature close and others forecasting six more weeks or indefinite extension.
