LONDON, May 25.—(By The As- sociated Press)—Loud cheers greet: ed Prime Minister Lloyd George when he entered the house of com- mons this afternoon for a debate on the foreign policies of the govern- ment which is likely to have an im- portant bearing upon his political fu- ture. The Genoa conference formed the text for the debate. Mr. Lioyd George in beginning his speech said he purposed dealing only with the business of the Genoa gath- ering and did not intend to discuss German relations or British rela- tions with France, an opportunity for discussion of which would be provided for next week. The prime minister after review- ing the objects. of the conference EVERY NIGHT IN THE TRIBUNE. said that in regard to the question whether the conference had suc ceeded, he would simply state the facts fairly and let the members judge them fairly. Although peace had been estab- ished in Europe, it was quite clear, said Mr. Lloyd George, that the war atmosphere to a ce! im extent re- mained. As for Russia, it was hopeless for her, whatever her government, said the premier, to expect to extricate herself from the pit of squalid mis- ery without assistance. There were three alternatives in dealing with the Russian situation. Mr. Lloyd George pointed out. The first was force which had failed. No one had suggested that at Genoa. The sec ond was to leave Russia to her fate “But how,” he asked, ‘could we-| | | | insure Europe against the risks this policy would involve. The Russo- German agreement shows the sort of peril I mean." Germany, said the premier, could not reequip Russia economically, not having the capital, but that-was not the case with armaments; as there was every natural resource in one country and complete tech- nical skill in the other. “The British delegation,” he said, “realized it was necessary for the peace of the world, whatever was thought of the soviet government, that some arrangement with Rus sia be made in order to enable her to help in swelling the volume of trade on which many millions depend, and in order to give a sense of stability and security to Enrope.” a @ | wts wwe would” be . a i PREMIER GIVEN OVATION’ GENOA MEETING DEBATED’
