section Of the British press to-day
sees more than ever an urgent need
for closer cooperation Of the Allies at
Genoa if the peace of Europe is to be
secured. The Daily Chronicle praises
Prime Minister Lloyd George as "the
handspring Of the British policy. and
SAYS that Che British are not only
anxious to work hand in hand with
the French. but that the present Gov
ernment desires 1t more strongly than
any Government likely to replace 1t
might be expected TO desire it, The
paper says the policy seeks to obtain
for the Old World what a similar
policy on the part OF the United States
secured in the Pacific"
The Times says the treaty has re-
vealed past all possibility II further
concealment the danger against which
France and the true friends of France
have raised their voices In warning
since the period when the war was not
decided" 1t points out that Tie Ger
mans and the Russians always have
tried. even I'm the days of the Kaiser,
to control Central Europe and Asia and
tries to show at length how. through
out history. the treaty Is only smother
step in the policy which defeat IN the
war interrupted.
1T means that a new grouping OF
Powers Is imminent. IL II has not al
ready been accomplished" the Times
adds. "Germany and Russia are
leagued together against the alt, 4 Sig
natories of the Versailles Treaty. and
this league is not directed toward the
furtherance of world peace. The Allies
must. stand together more a.mly and
more closely then they. havS done of
late. and they must drop all Chickering'S
for lesser things. They must recs gnize
the alliance for what II is--the result OF
the fixed determination OF the Germans
and the Bolshevisito continue the covert
struggle, against them until ise day
comes when pretense OF concealrnent
Will be necessary no more"
The. Dailu Netcs urges a change in
tactics on. the part of the Allies. for
"the conference so far has not merely
failed to lay the evil spirits OF exac err
bated nationalism raised by the war,
but II has hardened the lines Of division
and Intensified the bitterness OF rival
vanities and warning ambitions. :.
1T Is clear. iby repeated experiment. that
the peace Of Europe cannot be secured
on the lines which have been pursued
from Versailles to Genoa"
The Netcs says the League of Nations
system never has been given fair trial.
and adds that even that might fall. but
that the method of the Supreme Coun-
ell cannot succeed.
The Westminster Gdsette blames the
Allies rather than the Germans and the
Russians. saying that while the con-
ference survived, the treaty episode
clearly has been too much for the
Allies sense of humor. 1t insists that
the Germans were invited only because
II was to the interests of the Allies to
invite them, and that 1t was no less
than obvious that two stricken nations
should try to come together.
1t criticizes the Allies along the lines
off Secretary Hughes's refusal to attend
on behalf OF the United States. because
vital matters, such as reparations and
disarmament. were not In the agenda
The paper adds
1T Is to be hoped that the Allies will
speedily recover from their c,agrin and
begin to set about 10 work In a spirit
of greater realism than they have dis
played to date. II the Allies are going
to get their share OF trade" 1t declares
their agents at Genoa viii have to
come to earth"
