Re yy "William Banks. - Premier Lloyd George and the Brit- ish government were sustained in the vote of.confidence on their Gen- oa policy by a vote of 372 to 94, For the Premier himself the triumph was a striking one. He will head the British delegation to the Econ- omic Conference with the confident knowledge that for some time at least his political position is secure, Despatches report that his speech preceéding the vote, occupied about one hour and a half, was character- ised by unusual gravity, and for him, unusual hesitancy at times. Two reasons are given for the latter; one that he has scargely recovered from the ifaisposiion that was the cause of his holiday the other that he is still anxious as to the preliminaries of the conference. This anxiety would no doubt be somewhat re- lieved by the knowledge that on the same day that the British House of Commons expressed its confidence in bim. Premier Poincare of France. whose foreign policy was also under attack, was upheld by a vote of 452 to 84. Both Lloyd George and Poin- care declared in effect that Germuny must pay, "If Germany does not ay,"" said the British Premier, "France and Great Britain have to. Germany's ultimate capacity to pay must not be judged by the present general depression." In the Com- mons the vote of confidence followed an amendment moved for the Labor party by John R. Clynes, and which was defeated by 379 to 84, The ad- dress by Clynes was generally speaking, based on the argument that unless the Genoa Conference revised the Peace Treaties it would fail, It is on this very point that France is adamant. At one time, indeed, it seemed as if she would de- cline to attend the conference fear- ing thal it would resolve itself into an attempt to revise the Peace agree- ments, It is improbable that any j other of the powers, outside of Ger- many and Russia, would seriously press this point. The undoing of the Peace Treaties now would he an vitation to resume war on a gen- eral scale, with many of the nations feeling that they might as well be fighting as not, ' Ld ., Ll | It is in respect to ts' policy on | Russia that the Genoa conference will face its most severe test looking jat the situation from the distance, [In respect to this Lloyd George out- lined the policy on which the allies are prepared to recognise the Soviet ""While There's Life There's Hope."'
