London, May rs (By Associ-

Prime Minister Lloyd-George
when he entered the house of
commons this afternoon for de-
bate on the foreign policies of the
government which is likely to
have an important bearing upon
his political future.
The Genoa conference formed
the text of the debate.
Although peace had been estab-
lished in Europe, it was quite
clear, said Mr.. Lloyd-George that
the war atmosphere to a certain
extent remained.
Only One Course Open
AS for Russia, 1t was hopeless
for her, whatever the govern
ment, said the premier, to expect
to extrieate herself from the pit of
sQualid misery without assistance.
There were three alternatives in
dealing with the Russian situa-
tion. Mr.. Lloyd-George pointed
out. The first was force, which
had failed. No one had suggested
that at Genoa. The second was to
leave Russia to her fate.
But how" he asked, could
we insure Europe against the
risks this policy would involve?
The Russo-German agreement
shows the sort of peril mean"
Arms Could be Furnished
Germany, said the premier
could not reequip Russia econom
ically, not having the capital, but
that was not the case with arma-
ments, ae there was every natur-

"The British delegation" he
said. realized it was necessary
for the peace OF the world, what
ever was thought of the soviet

ment with Russia be made in or

so many millions depend, and in
order to give a sense of stability
