HAGUE FIASCO.

i ALLIES DROP RUSSIANS. I LONDON, July 13. ' The Daily Telegraph’s Hague correspondent says:—“The Hague Con- ( fereuce is nt a standstill. It is ex- . tremely unlikely that discussions with ; the Russians will be resumed. It is expected the energies of the Allied powers will now be directed to a solution of the problem of Central Europe and the li: stoning of a recovery of the devastated areas there. A CONFESSION OF FAILURE. THE HAGUE, July 13. Tho First. Sub-Cominittcc decided lha in view of the Russian statement at yesteruay’s meeting, no useful purpose will bo served by continuing meetings with the Russians. It was resolved to so report to the Main Committee. A YANKEE VIEW. NEW YORK, July 12. The New York “World’’ says that the collapse at The Hague is final proof that the Soviet cannot obtain world I financial help until it agrees to restore foreign property they confiscated. The attitude of the United States Government is thus practically sustained. To-day’s result means that Europe needs Russian grain less than the financiers to meet the guarantees that Russia will repay her loans.
