APPEAL TO PRESS.

Received April 28, 9.50 a.m. LONDON, April 27. Mr Lloyd George, continuing, said: "We must show retraint in the hour or triumph otherwise Europe will again welter in blood within the lifetime of those whose hair is now grey. That is why 1 wrought to make the Genoa Conference a success. I am alarmed at the storms gathering over Europe. They may not break immediately, but they will break inevitably unless the atmosphere can be cleared. I am amazed at ' people who ignore these pretentious facts and concentrated on selfish trivialities, frankly, I wish America were here. Her very aloofness from these European problems would give her the right to speak with authority. Her aid would have been invaluablo, as her voice would have been the voice of peace, conciliation, and goodwill. But it is too late. America is not here, and Eprope ■ must do its best to solve the problems in its own way." Mr Lloyd George urged the press ot both countries to do the utmost to help the conference to a successful issue.
