GENOA, May !. Genoa awoke to day to another day of uncertainty, with Premier Lloyd George optimistic that the conference could lie saved, but with unmistakable pessimism prevailing in most quarters. Belgium is the centre eronnu! which, turn the fierce controversy over the Rus sian question. It is Belgium's objection to clause seven in the Allied memoran dum to the Russians behind which Francs is standing in her opposition to tho memorandum. Cnsequently all eyes in Genoa are on Belgium and on M. Jaspar, foreign minister and chairman of the BeU gian delegation. "Tho question raised by Belgium ft bout clause seven lias two aspects," M. .la spar caid. "On one side it is a question of principle concerning respect for and pro tection of private1 property abroad. Th other side concerns the economic restora tion of Kussia by reviving tho industry of that country. pour into Russia. Belgian industrialists already have a billion francs laid asido to restore their industries there. Clause seven, Belgium admitted a forniula which allowed for nationaliza tion of property in Russia on condition that its use should be granted to the old proprietors, or when this was impossible, compensation bo given them. M. fattier, our legal expert s.inipljr assisted in compiling clause seven on the request of Mr. -Lloyd George and if Barthoii, under the express condition that ! his presence would pledge neither1 tho lielgian delegation nor tho government j to the work of the expert - M, atticr, I after the clause was drafted, brought it i to me, and agreed) with me that it was uiwicccptable to Belgium. "1 must recall that I compiled that section of the Cannes resolution respect- Iting foreign property, and that all, in 1 eluding .Mr. Lloyd George, agreed in j interpreting it in the sense that tho sov i iet must return foreign properties ex 1 ccpt when physically impossible. Mri Lloyd George expressed himself in tho I same sense in the House of Commons on April J. My amendment to clause seven is a textual reproduction, word by word, of the section approved by the English ex I ports in London in their report regard ing foreign property in Russia. There- fore, it is not. I who have changed. I "Belgium does not wish the failure of the conference. All her eorts here have bin directed toward tho success of tho meeting, while everyone, including Mr. j Lloyd George, has paid homage to tho Btdgian sincerity and peaceful spirits."
