MR. LLOYD GEORGE

BRIEF STAY IN LONDON

DISSENSION IN THE CABINET

PREMIER'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS SOVIET.

<«MT»D PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPTRIOHT.) (AVSTBAMAN • NEW ZBALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received March 29, 11 a.m.) LONDON, 28th March. The Daily Mail states that th» Premier's return to London was premature, and its suddenness was .mainly due to the feeling in official circles respecting Genoa. It is now clear that, besides opinion' inside and outside the House of Commons, which is gTavely divided on the question, there have arisen disagreements within the Cabinet.

Mr. Churchill has for a long time lamented the attitude of the Government towards Russia, and his feelings are shared by some of his colleagues. Whils hitherto differences and cleavages havebeen avoided, the Premier's booming of the Bolshevik policy has provoked Counter-emotion 6 which cannot be ignored. It is understood that the Premier has conferred with Mr, Churchill.

In the meanwhile, Lenin, in an interview, declared : "The man I want to see is Mr. Lloyd George. I feel that with him an understanding is possible." (Received March 29, 9 a.m.) LONDON, 28th March. Mr. Lloyd George spent the morning at a Cabinet meeting. He lunched with the- Liberal members of the Ministry, and had an audience with the King in the afternoon. Be has left for the country, and will not return to London, before Monday.
