yond Expectations.

London, April 3.-(By the Assoct

Georges resolution calling for con
fdence in the governments poilc!
with regard TO The coming Genoa
economic conference was adopted py
the house of commons tonight by q
vote Of 372 to "a.
Prior to this the house, 379 to S4,
rejected an amendment proposed by
John Robert Clines, laborite, wnicn.
while approving an internadond
economic and financial conference, de.
clared that the government was NOT
competcnt to represent the country a.
such a conference, and did not have
the confidence of the country.
This result is regarded as exceed
lncly satisfactory to the premier, al
the combined laborates and independ'
ent liberals number about 100 and the
die hards" about so, all OF Wnom
might have been expected to oppose
The premier's resolution.
The premier's speech inviting par
lament 10 vote confidence IN the gov
crnment's Genoa policy touched only
tightly upon the political crisis at
home and endorsed the French policy
toward Russia. although Mr.. Lloyd
George displayed much sympathy for
a conciliatory attitude toward Russia.
II sought accommodation with the
Soviet government, lest by waiting II
might eventually be necessary to deal
with a still more irreconcnable or
mjIitarist regime, which might en-
broil all Of Europe.
