Ihe clouds on the horizon ; were growing bigger daily, and Earope; might be again devastated. He; appealed to America, who would willy j nilly be forced to interest herself in: Europe for the maintenance of peace, j The Genoa Conference would 'fail unless \ a peace pact was agreed to.. j PARIS, April 27. j Le Matin says that M. Poincare has > accepted in principle Mr. Lloyd George's proposal that the Supreme Council meet at the earliest possible moment. M. Poincare will probably' demand that the meeting "be held in Paris, not at Genoa. He "was prepared to meet the Allies before M. MillerancPß return if necessary.
