GENOA PARLEY DOOMED
TO KAIl.l KK FROM START
Washington, April 20.—The high
ly advertised economic conference
of thirty-one nations which Is in se«-l
sion in llenou is foredoomed to fail
ure, according to the well-nigh unan
imous opinion held by officials of the
American government who are fam
iliar with the events leading up to I
the parley.
It was largely for this reason that
the United States declined to par
ticipate. turning down the Italian
invitation in such terms as to leave
no doubt about what America thinks
of the conference.
"1 regret to infirm Your Excel
lency," wrote Secretary of State
Hughes, "that it has been found im
possible to escape the conclusion
that the proposed conference Is not
primarily an economic conference, as
questions appear tj have been ex
cluded from consideration without
the satisfactory determination of
which the chief caises of economic
disturbance must continue to oper
ate. but is rather a conference of a
political character in which the gov
ernment of the I'nited States could
not helpfully participate."
Seldom has a pioposal of one
friendly government been turned
down by another in such blunt
language. Not content with merely
sending polite regrets, the United
States went to the length of calling
world attention to the emptiness of
the project, and, by inference at
least, stated that the wJiole under
taking was masquerading under
false colors by pretending to be
something it was not.

GOVERNOR GENERAL OP
CANADA COMING NORTH
The governor general of Canada. J
Lord Blng of well known world war [
fame, will visit the Yukon this sum-|
uier with a party. The governor j
general will reach Skagwav about!
August first and return about Aug
ust 17.
The famous general has a tender I
place In his heart for the Yukon, asi
it was from this section that some'
of the splendid troops which he com-1
manded in the early part of the war
made such a splendid record. It was I
during the early part of the war'
that Lord Blng commanded the Can
adian forces and during that time
the Canadian forces made Germany
sit up and take notice. The gener
al was very proud of his troops and
when later he was made divisional
commander of one of the British
armies he did not lose his love for
the boys who made such heroic
stands and did such good work for
the Empire under his command Un
doubtedly the Yukon will give him
a reception, fitting not only to his
position as governor general of Can-j
ada. but also as the best loved com-1
mander of the great war.
WHITE PASS ANNOUNCES
RATE FOR YUKON FREIGHT j
In a wire received today from H J|
Wheeler, general manager of the
White Pass Route, he announces that
this season's rate from Seattle, via |
St. illchael. to Tanana, will be $44
per ton, base rate.
This rate ia made possible. It is!
explained, by the fact that boats
will go both ways loaded— with ore
shipments going down from Mavo.
and with freight coming up.
On account of the different ways j
of classifying freight as shipped by!
the rirer to Tanana, as against the |
rail haul to Nenana, this rate will
make an average of about $5 per ton !
less on all shipments made to Xe- ]
nana Some commodities, by car-[
load, will be less to Nenana by rail
than by water to Tanana. but prac- j
tlcally all less-than-carload lots will
be much less to Tanana than the j
same shipments to Nenana by rail.
