KILLED IDA KRAMER AND
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SAYS GEORGE E. MLllNROE|
RUSSIA CANNOT LIFT
HERSELF OUT or PIT
Declared Premier Lloyd George in Dis
cussion in House Of Com
mons.

London, May 25 by the Associated
Press Cheers greeted Prime Minister
Lloyd George when he entered the
House Of Commons this afternoon for a
debate on the foreign policies of the
government which is likely to have an
important bearing upon his political
future.
Mr.. Lloyd George, in beginning his
speech, said he purposed dealing only
with the business of the Genoa confer
ence and did not intend to discuss Ger
man relations OF British relations with
France, an opportunity for which dis
cussion of would be provided nsxt
week.
After reviewing the objects Of The
conference, he said that in regard to
the question whether the conference
had succeeded he would simply state
the facts fairly and let the members
Judge them fairly.
Although peace had been established
in Europe it was quite clear, said MI.
LLOYD George, that the war atmosphere
to a certain extent remained.
As for Russia, it was hopeless for,
whatever her government, said the pre-.
mier, to expect to extricate herself
from the pit of squalid misery wisnout
the assistance of the other thirty ma
tions.
There were three alternatives in deal
ing with the Russian situation, Mr..
Lloyd George pointed out. The first
was force, which had failed. No one
had suggested that at Genoa. The sec
ond was to leave Russia to her fate.
"But how he asked. could we in
sure Europe against the risks this pol
lev would involve? The Russo-Ge~man
agreements shows the sort of peril l
mean"
Germany, said the premier, could rot
re equip Russia economically, not hsv-
ing the capital. but that was not the
case with armaments, as there was ev-
cry natural resource in one country and
complete technical skill in the other. :
"The British delegation he said,
realized that it was necessary for the
peace OF the world, whatever was
thought of the soviet government, that
some arrangement with Russia be made
in order to enable her to help in swell
ing the volume of trade on which so
many millions depend, and in order To
give sense Of stability and security
to Europe
I'm the meantime. Mr.. Lloyd Gecrge
declared, .'We have had to consider
what could be done in order to pre-
vent a conflict in Europe. II we were
to continue the Genoa examinations we
had to insure the peace OF Europe.
That is why we have the truce OF
peace, which embodies the solemn dee
laration on the part of thirty-four ma
tions that they will be guilty OF no
act of aggression against each other.
Il am not going to say that Genoa
will ultimately succeed; | believe it
has accomplished great things al
ready. If Genoa fails, the position
of Europe will indeed be tragic. The
British delegation are proud that they
took leading part in upholding and
fighting for high ideals, which viii al
ways be associated with the grave
problems at Genoa"
