Situation Is Perilous, Says Lloyd George in Warning Address to Men of the Press.
ANOTHER WAR IS LOOMING
Equipped by Vengeful Germany, Slav Mass May Try to Overrun Europe in Future.

GENOA, April 27. - David Lloyd George, Prime Minister of Great Brit ain in addressing American and Brit ish press representatives today de- clared that the present object of the Genoa economic conference is to clear up, once and for all, the political diff ficulties resulting from the treaty be- tween Russia and Germany at Ra- pallo, which pact, he declared, is full of menace for civilization.
 All Europe must awaken to the meaning of the master-stroke of Rus sian and German diplomacy, which may result in the equipping of the hungry and ignorant hordes of Russia by an angry and vengeful Germany.
 The Premier solemnly warned the Americans that their country should be prepared for the tremendous crises which now can be discerned in the fu- ture. Coming events cast their shad- ows before," the Premier quoted, de- claring it would require force majeure to break up the war and peace alli- ance between Russian and Germany.

 "A distinguished member warned me that all the members would ais like me if I exposed this graft. I am ready to accept their dislike. I came here to serve, not you, not my col leagues, but my 314,0O0 confiding con- stitutents in the State of Texas. My first concern is their interest. If this loses me the friendship of every col league here, I am ready to lose it. You all have learned that if you ever expose such graft, you are called a hypocrite and a demagogue, and you take the path of least resistance and say nothing"
