London. April 8. :
Among London newspapers comment
ing on the speech of Prime Minister
Lloyd George the Times continues its
bitter campaign against Russian recog-
milton, saying: There are conferences
and conferences. The hearty support
we were glad to give the Washington
conference shows that we are not in
capable of Distinguishing between them. "
The Times alone hints that Mr.. Lloyd
George will try to reduce the French
army once the Red army Is demobilized.
The Telegraph sees little hope of any
thing coming from dealings with Russia.
but chides the opposition for interfering
and annoying Lloyd George and says he
should be given a chance.
The Daily Express says THE Prime
Minister had no difficulty an the House
OF Commons In making q convincing
case for the Genoa conference. Admit
tedly Europe must have relations with
Russia sooner or later. II the Soviet
Government Is ready to give the guar
antics demanded, sooner Is far better
than later. 1t is OF the utmost impor-
tance that Mr.. Lloyd George should go
to the conference with a clear title to
speak in behalf OF Great Britain. He
deserves the support of all imperial
minds"
The MGii approves the stablization OF
exchanges but says that experts could
do better with 1t than the circus" at
Genoa. 1t says that there Is no pos
sbility Of developing confidence in the
Soviets, which alone would warrant
trade with Russia, adding. III we un-
derstand Mr.. Lloyd Georges hint Rus
sia Is to be exploited by Germany with
our aoouiescence on the assumption
that Herr SHINES and the cosmopolitan
financiers associated with him will
hand over to this country a share of
the spoils."
The Chronicle, asserting that Lloyd
George and the Genoa policy are in
separably united. says: DO not let us
forget that If Mr.. Lloyd George is to
bring into harbor through stormy seas
any part Of this great cargo of bless
ings for Europe and ourselves he Will
need backing not only by Parliament
but by the country"
Tho Daily Neps says the entire speech,
was dictated by Lloyd George in an ef-
fort TO swing the Tory following. 1t
praises it's liberal sentiments. but says
ttdl IlOl fOl0CdEc puN Oh 1tOt 80
Younger limits the effectiveness Of the
Genoa conference and that Lloyd
Georges liberalism never will get any
place until he gets rid Of this old man
OF the sea-
The Westminster Gazette says also
that the speech was entirely dictated by
political necessity I'm a very early
speech the Prime Minister in explaining
that there had been no bargain with the
French at Boulogne used the phrase
which deprives Genoa OF the consequence
It had. The limitations of the confer
ence. he explained. were that anything
1t did should be done without injury to
the existing treaties Europe Is not
going to be set on her feet without in
jury to the existing treaties
The Morning Post says that Mr..
Lloyd George Is like husband propos-
ing a jaunt but not anxious to take his
wife along and explains that he is going
on urgent business" making many pro-
testations of fidelity but is sure to meet
disreputable people when away. II
charges that he is conspiring to recog-
nize communism. "the most implacable
foe OF the empire, which already has
gained an outpost in Ireland and the
present House Of Commons with the
accomplished fact of Russian recognition
the result of which they are az jmpotenf
TO resist as they we're impotent against
an Irish settlement
