Term French Premier Illness "Temporary Bad Luck." CITES DELEGATE ATTITUDE NEW YORK, May 18 (A.P.) Secre tary of State Henry Stlmson re turned Saturday night from the Geneva five power conference with the optimistic prediction that while the illness of Andre Tardieu, French premier, was a case of "temporary bad luck," it will not seriously affect the ultimate result of the disarmament conversations. Mr. Stlmson, who reached New York on the Vulcania, said there was "no cynicism among the leaders at the conference." He added: "They realize how serious it would be to fail and that Is my reason for the belief that they will get together ultimately. "It Is difficult to say when the conference will end. I can not emphasize too strongly the enormous complexity of this meeting.

Conclusions must be unaminous and it is difficult to reconcile the viewpoints of more than fifty nations. It will take the utmost patience and much time." Denies Reparation Diacnsaion. Mr. Stlmson said the Geneva conferees were not discussing the Lausanne conference on reparations and he did not see any direct connection between the two events. He declined to express an opinion as to whether reparations and disarmament can be separated.

Japan's withdrawal of troops from Shanghai he characterized as a "gradual mopping up of a bad situation." In a prepared statement, he said in the period of his sojourn abroad "the leading statesmen of practically all the principal countries of Europe and many other countries were gathered at Geneva and this gave an opportunity to discuss with them in a much more direct and satisfactory way than would otherwise have been possible these questions (disarmament). I return with a very strong Impression of the earnest and general feeling through the conference that it must not be allowed to fall in producing a material contribution to the cause of disarmament and peace. Problems Termed Complex. "The problem which these men are confronting is most difficult and complex and the views as to how the common objective may be attained are diverse and sometimes perplexing. "But there is no doubt as to the sincerity of their purpose to succeed.

The American delegation is contributing its full share of effort both by constructive suggestions and by the impartial and sincere employment of Its good offices when sought. "The formal work of the conference has been temporarily interrupted during the elections recently held in Germany and Prance. "The work of the technical committee, however, has continued and the general work of the conference will be resumed soon. I feel that I have had a valuable opportunity to acquaint myself with the atmosphere and the problems of the conference, as well as the views of the other nations, and that thla will be of very material assistance to me in trying to effect a helpful American contribution toward a final successful result."
