REFUSES TOW FART IN CONFERENCE TO BE HELD AT GENOA Political Rather Than Econ omic Aspects Given as Reas on.—Will Not Prevent Con vening or Business of Con ference, Says London. Washington, D. C., March 9.—-The refusal of the United States to par ticipate in the Genoa conference may be viewed as the first step in a cam paign of “tactful pressure” to promote the economic rehabilitation of Europe, it was said today by a high official of the American government. It should be not regarded, this offi cial said, as an indication that the United States desires to hold aloof from grave problems confronting the European nations. Washington, D. C., March 9.—Be cause it believes that there has boen on exclusion of the questions which makes it now primarily an economic conference but rather one of a politi cal character, in which it could not helpfully participate, the American government 1ms declined the invita- tlbn to participate In the Internation al economic and financial conference at Genoa next month.* The declination was convoyed in a note yesterday from Secretary of State JfugheB to Amassador Ricco, of Italy who presented the Invitation ex tended by his government pursuant to the resolution adopted by tho Allied government at the Cannes’ confer ence.

Washington, D. C„ March I.—After weeks of work and worry, the House ways and moans committee majority has evolved a soldiers’ bonus bill on which it apparently Intends to stand pat Despite some criticism of the meas ure In and out of congress, Chairman Fordney and his co-workers believe It will encounter only comparatively feeble oppostiion In tho House unless thoro is unexpected reaction among great majority fo the members who have been Insistent that some sort of bonus legislation be enacted at this session. Just, what will happen to the bill in the Senate appears problematical. It is expected that the sales tax propon ents there will renew tho fight for that kind of a levy. Tho framers of the measure appeared fairly confi dent that it would not meet with President Harding's disapproval be cause it removed what they said was the fundamental objection to the cash bonus plan, an Immediate drain on the Federal treasury.
