| knew all about the Russo German
treaty in adyance?"
Denies Rathenau Told Him
, II don't know whether Ratheau sale
| Certainly he did not say it to me
| lutely untrue; | knew nothing abou,
the treaty until ] met my colleagues
| on the way to the afternoon meeting.
Lloyd George emphasized that
everybody was on an equal footing at
Genoa and that the Germans had a
place on all the commissions which
were to discuss the accord affecting
Russia and all nations To make q
separate pact behind the back of their
colleagues was an act of disloyalty on
the part of the Germans.
1--WE were justified in taking ener-
getic measures" declared the premier
The thing will have a good effect on
the conference
Roused by Query; Gets Tart
The next question was: docs the
prime minister think the Russo Ger
man treaty represented deliberate at
tempt to wreck the conference?"
To this Mr.. Lloyd George replied
whatever we may think about the
accord, / do not think it was negoti-
ated with the idea of wrecking the con
ference"
The next query awoke the prime min
lister from his WEAKNESS. His voice
now was clear and resonant and carried
to every corner, where his auditors
were striving not to lose a word
What kind of people don't like the
Genoa conference?"
"Quarrelsome people," he exclaimed,
with an impressive gesture, who like
to keep up hatreds between nations
and who rejoice at seeing conflicts
arise
Asks Germans to Withdraw Queries
The German correspondents passed
up number of sheets of paper: they
wanted to know the exact condition
under which the Russo German treaty
was arranged and signed.
Il regret these questions" said the
premier. 'and / hope that the German
writers will not insist upon them. I
will answer if they insist, but I think
it prudent not to aggravate the present
situation. / have said that the treaty
was not an attempt to wreck the CON
ference, though the effect might have
been that. / don't want to engender
controversies, but to restore harmony"
The Germans withdrew the questions.
Mr.. Lloyd George affirmed that in his
judgment the work begun at Genoa
would be taken up and pushed forward
by the League of Nations.
Wants Outsiders in League
Asked if Germany and Russia should
be members of the league, he replied
instantly:
"Yes. The league of nations can
never do anything until all nations are
members. With Russia and Germany
absent more than half Of the pol>>ation
is without representation"
The British premier had great
ovation as he walked out of the palace
between lines of guardsmen. His final
words were:

FRENCH IMPLY
VIOLATIONS Of
PEACE TREATY
Poincare Wants Repara-
ton. Commission to
Kill Rapallo Pact.

Paris, April 2O.-(By The Associated
Press) The allied reparations COM
mittee, in an extraordinary meeting
Thursday afternoon to consider the
Russo-German treaty, decided to en-
trust committee Of experts with q
study of the pact to determine whether
or not it violates the treaty Of Yer
sailles. A report is expected Friday.
Instructions sent by Premier Poin-
care to the French ambassadors In the
capitals of, the allies and fully approved
by the cabinet, are to insist that ener-
getic measures must be taken and pen
alties applied to Germany if the Russo
German treaty is not abrogated, re-
gardless of what the Genoa conference
may decide.
Poincare For Rigorous Pressure
The premier's position is that there
can be no more hesitation in the vio-
lation of the treaty of Versailles. He
holds that the concessions of the allies
to Germany have led to further resist
ance to the Versailles treaty on the
part Of the latter.
tations with leaders of all parties in
cabinet in close touch with the situa-
ton. Conservative, nationalists and lib
eral elements are said to have given
the premier to understand they would
support his view.
It was pointed out that the Russo
German treaty had brought to light vio-
lations of the Versailles pact by Ger
many in respect to military materials.
the Germans having, it appeared, sold
the arms which the Russian refugees
had left in Germany. instead Of handing
them over to the allied commission for
destruction, as provided by the Ver-
saialles treaty.
Trying to Devise Penalty
Article of the Russo German treaty
at the end of clause c, reads: THE
Russian government renounces payment
of the sum Germany has derived from
the sale of Russian army material
transported into Germany"
Already there is much speculation
concerning the penalties to be imposed
upon Germany, as it is considered most
will be taken. The occupation of the
Ruhr valley is the foremost suggestion,
although there is authoritative opin-
ion that the allies are unlikely to adopt
the precise penalty which the Germans
most expect and are perhaps best pre-
pared to meet. The financial and
economic penalties priyided for in the
treaty, it is argued, would permit the
allies to bring pressure Of the most
effective sort at much less cost and
trouble than extension Of the military
occupation.
The cabinet met with Premier Poin-
care Thursday.
