difference among the Republican
group as to whether the duty on
dyes and dye chemicals should not
be lowered.

ton of ornaments" said Premier
Lloyd George, addressing the coalition
liberal political convention today.
Nations must take risks in peace
as well as in war. The Washington
conference has been a notable success.
II there had been such conference
in July, 1914, there would have been
no war catastrophe in August, 1914.
Each conference is a rung IN the lad

Lloyd-George replied to Premier
Poincare's threat to return to pre-.
war diplomatic methods with an i'm
passioned appeal in behalf Of face to
face discussions by all nations invited
TO the international economic confer
ence at Genoa"
I'VE want an end to wars and to
rumors Of wars, declared the pre-
mier. Il appeal to all men in power
and all rulers to come to Genoa in a
spirit Of peace; and then peace will
ensue."
Lauds Ireland.
Referring to the Irish situation the
Premier said:
For the first time in centuries an
Irish government has been established
with the whole-hearted sanction of the
people. There will be difficulties be-
fore 1t is fully effective and may be
afterward. But the good sense of the
Irish will enable them to triumph.
ireland will take high rank, in the
free nations and will be a source Of
increasing strength to Britain.
Trade is the worst now in the his
tory Of the world, Restoration de-
ponds upon confidence. The less gov
ernments interfere with trade the
better 1t will be for trade and the
governments, too. 1t Is the task OF
all governments to establish peace"
The Premier confirmed the recent
statement Of Austen Chamberlain that
there will be no general election until
the Irish Free State Is formally func-
tioning. 80.
Lloyd George expressed faith in the
League Of Nations, adding: 4

He opposed any suggestion that the
issues to be discussed at the Genoa
conference should be left to the
League, because under such circum-
stances the United States would be
excluded from the discussions.
The Premier said that Germany
should eventually, pay, revealing that
an agreement had been reached be-
fore the Cannes conferences permit
ting Germany to defer indemnity pay
ments. He said he hoped such a
plan might be adopted at Genoa.
