Several speakers in the ensuing debate, dwelt on the desirability
of a revision of the reparations question and the danger of a breach
of the Anglo-French Entente.
Mr. Clynes said the Labourites were unable to approve of a general repudiation of debt. particularly in relation to Russia.
French Differences Recognised.
Mr. Lloyd George, winding up the debats, emphasised bis desire to work amicably with France for the peace of Europe, but it would be impossible to settle the reparations question until French opinion
was favourable.
Mr. Lloyd George, referring to the alleged secret clauses in the Russo-German Agreement which were published in some of the newspapers, said he was not going to deal with silly forgeries of Military Conventions which would only take in the gullible. Such attention was unnecessary.
Both Mr. Clynes and Mr. George Barnes paid a tribute to the Premier's efforts at Genos and declared that his persistence saved the Conference from shipwreck.
Mr. Barnes thought the most sinister fact in Europe was Russia's; million and a half armed men.
