dence in the Lloyd George government
: 372sto a. The main question involved
was the coming Genoa conference. Inc
premier in his speech again outlined
the policy to be pursued at Genoa and
made it clear that unless the house
should express it's confidence in the
government, the Genoa conference may

dence too, it was pointed out, would
mean the fall of the ministry. In ms
speech Mr.. Lloyd George pointed out
that the government must pursue an
attitude of sympathy and conciliation
toward Russia, and although the So
Wet government is not to be recognlz-
(. ed without the approval or the mousse
of commons it is not to be antagoniz-
ed further He said that Germany can
never pay her reparatlons except
through commercial relations with
Russia Also Mr.. George declared the
