Makes Request to House of
Commons For Its
Views
RELATING TO.
GENOA CONFERENCE
Presented Resolution And
Sought Yes Or No
Vote

London, April 3 dBy the Associated
Press Premier Lloyd George ap,
peared in the House OF Commons to.
day to ask an expression of confidence
IN the policy of the government toward
the Genoa economic conference. Tho
House was crowded and there was
much animation and eagerness dis.
played as he entered.
He was greeted with cheers from the
government benches.
He offered a resolution which he said
gave the House an opportunity of ap-
proving or disapproving the objects Of
the Genoa conference and the make-up
OF the Genoa delegation. He declared
that II the resolution were defeated IL
would be equivalent to a vote of no
confidence in the government.
The prime minister said the official
opposition amendment challenged not
the object but the scope Of the CON
ference. He did not believe such body
as the Genoa conference could properly
consider the revision of existing treat
les, even in the event that such action
was desirable.
The trouble in Europe had been at
tributed largely to the PREPARATIONS ex-
acted ny the treaties, said Mr.. Lloyd
George but that the treaties did not
create the reparations. Their creation
was due TO the fact that there was
something to repair. II the treaty Of
Versailles were altered. he SAID. it
would transfer the burden from Ger
many to France.
