WORK Of GENOA
TO CONTINUE
Lloyd George Says People
Who Rule Rulers Demand
Peace in Europe

LONDON, May 26-An enthusi-
sstic welcome to Lloyd George was
given today by a gathering Of pa.-
liamentarians today.
Lord Long said Lloyd George was
pursued by trouble and abuse.
In response to the premier said:
Genoa has not ended. it will 60
on till the end. I am interested to
note how alleged friends of peace
predicted the failure of Genoa. Eu-
rope is so DESTROYS of peace and so
needful of ii that / feel the chariot
Six weeks was too short for tho
task.
The work will go, he continued,
not by the rulers, but by those who
rule the rulers.
He said it was the right of the
British empire to have something
to say in afvor of peace.
II don't eve remember that I
have been a particularly passionate
man, but when the common couss
demands 1t. 1 and <my friend. Lord
Balfour, are content to fight side
by side. Let the same spirit actu-
ate us a1-Great Britain. Europe
and the world-we are not out of
danger but when danger faces rs.
let US all fight side by side.
The editorial verdict in London
today on Prime Minister Lloyd
Georges Genoa speech il directly
opposed to that of the House OF
Commons which gave him a virtual
vote of confidence. Most Of the
newspapers write failure" across
the face OF the conference and have
nothing but censure for the prime
minister's defense OF his foreign
policy.
The Times says the debate added
nothing to what has long been
known-''It shows the conference
failed"
The Morning Post says: 1.-THE
Americans who were invited IL
the conference would inevitably de-
cline into a political gathering and
America has been justified"
The Westminster Gazette says:
"The painful fact 10 that the pre-
mier labored at Genoa in vain. The
Hague will meet under the same
limitations which sterilize Genoa"
The Daily Mail rejoices that "the
attitude of France. Belgium and the
United States prevented Lloyd
George from carrying out the vision
airy scheme with which he went to
Genoa for putting the Bolshevik on
their legs with British money"
The Daily Telegraph said: 1T wi i
need something more than Asquith's
jibes and Sir Robert Cecil's tactious
criticism to undo the effect of the
expositions."
