GERMANS TO ATTACK
ATTITUDE OF ALLIES
Continued from First Page.

ference upon MT. LlOyQ GeOrSeS 3 IOrtuIleS
continues to be one of the absorbing
topics here His present plan is to re.
turn home and make as much as possible
of what the conference has done. and to
promise to the unemployed, both in the
ranks of capital and labo--still Eng
lands most serious political problem
that the way has been opened to the
realization of those hopes, which he ex-
pected actually to attain here.
He has not forgotten, however. that
the unemployed Of both capital and labor
in England already have heard him sing
of "the bulging grain bins of Russia"
save the starving children of Russia a
year later.
Though they may look askance at his
new promises, which depend upon the
Hague meeting. it still remains true. ac-
cording to the sh-ewdest British political
observers here-and some of them are
anything but Lloyd George worshipers
that there is no one who can approach
him in sheer political ability to make
the best Of bad situation, and that any
opposition In any situation would ps
easier to overcome than Lloyd Georges
opposition.
Mr.. Lloyd George. too. lined up yes
terday with the United States at least
in one respect, on Russia, namely, its
indivisibility. He took open issue VIII.
the Japanese over the individuality OF
the Chita Republic, envisaging a unified
Russia rising out of the wreck OF the
Soviet system.
The italians are, perhaps, the most
disappointed of all over the failures OF
the conference, yet they are the busiest
in preparing to take such advantages
as they can in the trade agreement.
They had made great plans for the con-
ference, had spent much actual money
and had expended infinite pains TO
make it a success. So far as the phys
cal arrangements of the conference
go. they succeeded admirably. Every
thing that any one wanted from new
nib of a fountain pen to special train
appeared by magic upon request to the
indefatigable Commentators Gianini
and his colleagues of the secretariat
general. Titanic efforts converted
Genoa from one OF the worlds worst
centers of communication into one OF
the best.
The Little Entente and neutral dele
smaller nations are divided between
disappointment and hope. They are
grateful over the implied peace In the
nom ggression truce, but several CEN
trail European chancelleries are going TO
have a hard time with this years
finances on account of the failure OF
Genoa to reach definitlve economic re-
suits. "a 80,
Russia seems to be the least dis
anpointed of all. Though her spokesmen
admit that Genoa showed them the
cleavage between communism and cap
italism was greater than any cleavage
between western Powers. they are
smugly satisfied that they have gos
enough to warrant the belief that COM
munism can get along to some extent
without capitalism. Though they VIII
return to Moscow without the advantage
of n great international credit. which
might mean so much to the Government
of a starving people. they viii have
trade agreements with practically the
entire world with which they want to
trade with the exception of the United
States.
MANY of them express confidence that
with the aid of German technical and
organizing skill, with the blessing OF a
normal harvest this year. they VIII be
in a much better position to dictate
terms after the Hague meeting than
they were before.
with the Germans they admit that
neither country has the credit necessary
for a thoroughgoing reconstruction. but
t,,ey believe that the union OF their two
forces--their vast potential natural re-
sources and Teutonic organizing skill
will not be devoid of result.
