mcnt of this section of the State, prln-
cipally in agricultural and CONNER
cial work.

LONDON. May 15-By the Asso-

George, in = message given TO the
Genoa correspondent OF the Yorkshire
Evening News, says.
I'VE have reached a new phase In
western civilization. There have been
wars of religion. and dynastic wars;
there have been wars to secure richer
supplies of raw materials, with which
to nourfsh trade and commerce.. The
new phase is the economic tnterde-
pendence of Europe and tho whole
world. No modern nation car exist
by itself; It is dependent upon other
nations, whether neighbortng or re
mote.
"A past OF nor-aggression Is fun
damentaI to economic reconstruction.
Every nation in Europe must recog-
nize the ~sanctity OF its neighbors'
boundaries. Frontiers win then be
come open doors of commerce., not
national barriers Peace is the first
essential"
The premier expressed deep inter
est in tho attention given TO the pro
ceilings at Genoa by the British poo
pie. especially the factory workers In
