more and more in q maze of political

Genoa Economically Dead.
Therefore. Genoa economically Is
and Lloyd George more so. It means
that this great idea has collapsed,
and his predictions are wrecked. This
is the compelling reason for his anx-
iety to save the face of things and
substitute some sort Of political re-
suit for the dead hope OF economic
achievement.
Instead of admitting that the con-
ference has failed because the real
object of the soviets was misunder-

sabotaged by the policy Of the French.
This explains the great press cam

not appeal for clemency because they
recognized no law and would not
sacrifice their principles" For this
