LLOYD GEORGE GAINS
VOTE Of CONFIDENCE.

l-ondon.-The house Of commons
Tuesday night after an unexciting de-
bate, adopted by the substantial ma
jorlty Of Pts. Premier Lloyd GEORGES
resolution calling for confidence In the
governments policy on the coming eco
nomic conference at Genoa. The vote
was 372 to 81.
Prior to this the house BY q vote Of
397 to 81 rejected an amendment pro.
posed by John Roberts Clynes, Labor
lite. which while approving an inferno
tional economic and financial confer
ence. declared that the government was
not competent to represent the country
at such conference and did not have
the confidence Of the country. This re
suit Is regarded as exceedingly salts
factory for the prime minister, az the
combined Lahorites and Independent
Liberals number about 100 and the Die
Hards about 30. all Of whom might
have been expected to oppose the pre-
mier's resolution.
The prime minister's speech inviting
parliament to vote confidence in the
governments Genoa policy was note.
worthy inasmuch as 1t touched only
lightly on the political crisis at home
and because it endorsed the French
policy toward Russia. although Mr..
Lloyd George himself displayed much
sympathy for an entirely cOnciliatory
attitude toward Russia. and further. in
that it sought convention with the
soviet government. lest by waiting it
might eventually he necessary to deal
with a still more irreconcilable or mill
tarist regime. which might embroil the
whole of Europe.
While emphasizing that nothing
could he gained by waiting for the
overthrow of the soviet administration
the prime minister accepted the French
standpoint. demanding guarantees with
respect to Russia's debts and ohliga-
lions. and STIMULATING a period Of pro-
baton Of six months or year, hut
less If Russia gave the necessary guar
antees. before full recognition was ac-
corded.
The premier reiterated his belief in
the sincerity Of the conversion Of Mix
olaf Lenine and the soviet to diluted
form of communism
Perhaps the most interesting Of Mr..
Lloyd Georges proposals was that ex-
changes should he stabilized at some
maintainahle figure but no details were
given as to how he proposed to effect
this. except that it might be attained
by some form of International cooper
alton and pressure.
