resS) freHllcr lLoyd George ap peared in the house of commons to day to ask an expression of conf dence in the policy of the governmen toward the Genoa economic confer ence. The house was crowded ant there was much animation and eager ness displayed as he entered. He wa greeted with cheers from the govern ment benchs.
 He offered resolution which h, said gave the house an opportunit, of approving or disapproving the ob jects for the Genoa conference ant the makeup of the Genoa delegation He declared that If the resolution were defeated. it would be equivalen 10 a vote of no confidence in the gov crnment.
 The premier said the official oppo stiop amendment challenged, not thu object, but the scope of the confer ence He did not believe such a bod, as the Genoa conference could pro perly consider the revision of existing treaties, even in the event that suct this was desirable.

 The trouble in Europe had been at tributed largely to the separations ex acted by the treaties, said Mir. Lloyt George, but the treaties did not create the separations. Their creation wa. due to the fact that there was some thing to repair If the treaty of Yer sailes were altered, he declared, i y,-0,,1I r11 {ran ncfo h,,r Germany to France.
 Two Communications.
 Mir. Lloyd George said there wert two considerations in dealing with the problem of separations. The first was that if the payments were insisted upon beyond the power of the war exhausted country a crisis would be precipitated which would not be con- fined to Germany. The second was that Germany's ultimate capacity tc pay must not be judged by her pres ent capacity. when in common with the rest of Europe she was struggling to recover from the exhaustion of the war.
 Neither of these considerations could properly be judged at Genoa They ought to be judged by the ma chnery of the treaty which was very elastic. France, he declared, could not forego the right to have an ad- judication in accordance with the treaty's conditions.
 Defending the idea of the confer ence the premier said he had been told the coalition was dying.
 Perhaps I may have the privilege of dying minister to give my last word of advice" he remarked.
 Need Conferences.
 q do not know who will succeed us, but I would like to utter word of kindly warning. Whoever suc- ceeds us will find it impossible in the present state of Europe to go on with out conferences. The world is so the cure will be a slow one and will need many consultations of it's lead ing physicians"
 One of the most essential problems to be dealt with, continued MT. Lloyd George, was the restoration of the of international trade.
 "One of the first things that will have to be attempted at Genoa is the restoration of exchange" he said.
 Must Stabilize Exchange.
 Exchange, continued the premier must be stabilized at a maintainable figure which must therefore be con ,tituted on a reliable basis of inter
 
 oe induced to balance their budget, IS otherwise the currency would be iebased and the divergencies in ex- ,hange become wider. This was natter he said, where pressure could De exercised by an international con erence of the leading ministers of the ,arious pations.
 Discussing the question of peace n Russia and peace with Russia Mir. lloyd George said that Russia could lot get capital without securing con idence and internal as we'll as ex- ernal peace. Germany could not full y pay her separations until Russia vas restored he declared and Russia must recognize all the conditions inn posed upon and expected of civilized as test of her fitness or entering the community of na- ions.
 Mir. Lloyd George returned last night from Chequcrs Court. He is sick of office" according to an as- ertion by his son, Major Lloyd George in a public speech on Satur- lay but greatly improved in health liter his three weeks of rest.
