Mr. Lloyd George =Thursday, April 20th, assured the massed journalists

at Genoa that the Conference was progressing favour- ably. He was confident that it would restore peace to Europe. The Russo-German Treaty would present no further difficulties, as the Germans had agreed that they would take no part-in the discussion of a general Russian treaty. Mr. Lloyd George declared that, unless the Conference. ended in " a pact of guar- antee that no nations would engage in aggression against others," it would be a failure. The League of Nations would never guarantee the peace of the world until all nations, especially Germany and Russia, belonged to it.
