U. S. DECLINES HAGUE BID--LLOYD GEORGE EXPECTS RECONSIDERATION

Washington-(A. P.)- Yesterday's American note declining to participate in the Hague meeting next month for the discussion of Russian conditions, was intended to leave the door open for further conversation, it was said today at the White House.

The state department made public last night the text of a message to Ambassador Child at Genoa, declining the invitation to participate in the new European economic conference at The Hague.

"This government," the American communication said, "is unable to conclude that it can helpfully participate in the meeting at The Hague, as this would appear to be the continuance under a different nomenclature of the Genoa conference and destined to encounter the same difficulties if the attitude disclosed in the Russian memorandum of May 11 remains unchanged.

"The inescapable and ultimate question," the American note said, "would appear to be the restoration of productivity in Russia, the essential conditions of which are still to be secured and must in the nature of things be provided within Russia herself."
