CRITICISM OF PREMIER BRINGS SPIRITED SCENE Thunders Answers Towards Oppo;i- tion and Wins Out by Vote of 235 to 26. By the Associated Preas LONDON. May 26.—An enthusiastic welcome to Mr. Lloyd George on the cccasion of Lis return from Genoa was siven today by a gathering of par- ilamentary leaders at a luncheon. Viscount Long of Wraxall presided. Lord Long, in proposing a toast to Mr. Lloyd George, declared that at Genoa Mr. Lloyd George was pursued by cal- umny and abuse. The enemy 8id not meet the premier in the open field, he asserted. but preferred to attack him from the editorial chair. In response the premler said: “Genoa has not ended. It will g0 on to the end. I am interested to note how: the alleged friends of peace pre- dicted the failure of Genoa with a persistence that suggested the wish was father of the thought. Europe is 8o desirous of peace, and so needful of it fhat I feel the chariot of peace will ultimately be forced through to the desired goal. Six weeks was too short to complete the task and re- move' all misunderstandings.” Says Work Will Go O “But the work will g0 on,” the pre- mier continued, “by the will, not of rulers, but of those who rule the rulers.” He declared it was the right as well as the duty of the British empire to have something to say in favor of peace. The empire had mobilized niné and one-half millions during the late war, he declared. and asked if that and’ the contributions from the do- minions and India did not give the empire the right to a voice in the kind of world peace that needed to be established. “I don't know that I have ever been a_particularly passionate man,” Mr. Lloyd George declared, “but when the common cause of the empire demands it. 1 and my friend. Lord Balfour, who 30 often have fought face to face. are content to fight side by side. Let the same spjrit actuate us® all— Great Britain, Europe and the world. We are not yet out of danger, and while a3 commaon -danger exists abroad or within our own country let all men be content to fight side by side in op- position to those cémmon dangers.” Press Takes Opposite View. " The editorial comment §n London mewspapers today on Mr. Lloyd George's Genoa speech is directly op- posed to that of the house of com- mons, which gave him practically & vote of confidence slast night. Most of the newspapers write “failure” across the face of the conference and | have only censure for the premier’s defense of his foreign policy. The Times says the debate added nothing to what had long been known. “Tt shows the conference failed.” It answers skeptically its own question: “Will the engineers at The Hague be able to build that which the engineers at Genoa failed to build?” Justifies American View. The Morning Post says: “The Americans who were Invited to Genoa refused on the ground the conference would eventually decline into a po- Htical .gtahering., and- America has been justified.” The Westminster Gazette says: “The | painful fact is that the premier la- bored at Genoa in vain. The Hague | will meet under the same limitations which sterilized Genoa. The Daily Mail rejoices that “the attitude of France, Belgium the United States prevented Lloyd George from carrying out the visionary scheme with which he went to Genoa for putting the bolsheviks on their legs with British money. Defended by One Paper. In defense of the premier the Daily ‘Telegraph says: “It will need some- | thing more than Asquith’'s thin gibes | and Sir Robert Cecil's captions criti- | cisms o, undo the effect of the mier'g exposition.” Once again Lloyd George last night received the support of the house in what is considered the equivalent of another vote of confidence. Vote Is 335 to 26. The house by an overwhelming majority of 235 to 26 rejected an amendment moved by Rupert Gwynne, unionist, to the motion on which the debate was based as a‘means of ex- pressing the dissatisfaction of -the house with the premier's exposition. Mr. Gwyhne had been most vehement in his denunciations of the”govern ment, asserting that the premier had spoken only of what might have hap- B ed at Genos appen there. For an hour and a‘half the prem! gavé a calm exposition of the confe: ence proceedings, to which thé vet- eran, Herbert H.

JUDGE GARY URGES SALES TAXINSTEAD OF INCOME LEVIES T Tariff Out of Politics at Steel Institute. 1 FORGET SOLDIER BONUS FOR PRESENT, HE WARNS Declares Opportunity to Work First Need of Veterans—Proposes Lower Taxes. | By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 26.—Elbert H. Gary in his address as president of the American Iron and Steel-Insti- tute, in session at Hotel Cemmo- dore today, advocated that Congress take the tariff out of politics, that it play no favorites in its tendency to regulate things; that it substi- tute a sales tax for the income tax, and that it forget the soldler bonus until the nation is less severely burdened financially. As for the | business future of America, Mr. Gary described himself as *“still an op- timist.” In the iron and steel in- dustry, ke said, “the profits are not satistactory, but few, if any, ought to be doing business at a loss.” “Pity the blind, deaf and foolish pessimist of the United States” he adjured members of the institution. Congressmen Like Individuals. In a remark which, he said, was inserted “as a tone of consolation and hope,” the steel magnate asserted “congressmen are like the ordinary run of indiwiduals—most of them honest and well intentioned, but a few are possessed of less merit. “The idiosyncrasies of individuals occupying places in legislative halls are no better and no worse than they are in other places. As the world grows better its inhabitants will more and miore exercise care ; ie a ho e he ht. he of en he Ty he en of their representatives.” “We have not, I think, passed ®en- tirely from under the clouds of ad- versity,” he said. “Certainly we are carrying hitherto unheard of heavy governmental financial burdens. best these will not soon be fully dis- charged.

This fdentification strengthened-the stories of Petefs' presence in the neighbor- hood several days before the time set for the fight and his subsequent death. \ Ward, déspite the apparent re- verses he had received, was still si- lent.

Recurrence of the differences of opinion between the Commissioners and school authorities as to what is best for the public schools system was evidenced today with intimations that the city heads probably would oppose certain features of the Capper schooy reorganization bill. School authorities are known to be | strongly in’ favor of the Capper measure in its entirety.

C. Childs of Ohio, former supervisor of collectors of the internal revenue bureau. Almost coincident with the pre- sentation it beca.ne known that Fred- erick Geilinger of West Virginia. a special assistant in the accounts unit | |of the bureau, had been suspended pending investigation of charges against him. Mr. Geilinger was ap- pointed by A. D. Sumner, deputy commissioner, who was displaced Tuesday along with Mr. Childs on order of Secretary Mellon. Suspension of another official in the bureau, Samuel G. Patchell, chief pay roll examiner of the accounts unit. became known a few minutes after it was learned that Mr. Geilinger had been suspended.
