GENOA, May 10 David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister
in his valedictory before the final
plenary session of xne economic con-
ference today, said the Genoa wealth
er has been sunny and gloomy and
that some times there had been thun-
der storms. but all had ended today
in a blue sky.
That is the history of the confer
ence." he added. I'VE need all kinds
of weather TO make a harvest; and
if you take a good look at the con-
ference you viii find we have gar
nered fine crops"
These crops" Mr.. Lloyd George
listed as the coming meeting at The
Hague, the pact for aggression
and the reports of the finance COM
mittee. transport and economic COM
missions.
If these reports We're adopted,
said Mr.. Lloyd George, they would
help to restore prosperity and yigor
TO depleted Europe. These technical
reports alone Justified the existence
of the Genoa conference. but they
must be incorporated into living
practice-converted into gold.
Sees Danger In Russia
The greatest interest and excite
ment centered on the question of the
regulations of Russia with the outside
world and the assistance the world
was ready to give TO restore Russia
and rescue its people from misery.

of prejudice and wild passions.
ties; it is surrounded with a tumble
of prejudices and wild passions"
Let me say this about the con-
ference and the way 1t debated the
Russian question" said Mr. Lloyd
George. THE discussions in them
selves have demonstrated the value
of the international conference. Here
is a question which has created many
political crisis in different countries
which has provoked wars and revo-
lutions in two continents. debated in
conference, in an atmosphere of calm
and courteous investigation. What
better justification could you have
for conferences than that?
We have a month for reflection
On the difficulties we have had in
4lis conference before we resume
that. month will be utilized with a
view to discovering and suggesting a
solution for those difficulties.
Il should like to say one word in
Mat respect on the Russian memo
rWEaum. We make no reply to it,
but we cannot allow it to pass with
out one sentence. / do so now in
order to not prolong the controversy
but because the last thing I wish to
do is to end these proceedings on a
controversial note.
Memorandum Has Disastrous Effect
r. ,af L., H. e
that memorandum was in Russia:
but l know the effect outside Russia
was disastrous. 1t produced ambi :
tion and if it We're the last word to
be uttered by the Russian govern

complishing it at The Hague / am
referring to the eleventh of May
memorandum.
Europe and the world need the
produce which Russia can contribute
and Russia needs the accumulated
wealth and skill which the world can
place at its command. Russia can
not recover for a generation without
that help. II Russia needs help she
can get it. But will this Russian
delegation allow me in friendly
spirit to say one word.
IF Russia is to get help, Russia
nlucn not outrage the. sentiments
if they like let them call them pref
udices-of the world. There is real
sympathy for her condition
What are these prejudiees? l will
just name one or two, because they
were all trampled upon in the memo
randum of May H. The first preju-
dice in western Europe is that if yor
sell goods to a man you expect to get
