FIGHT FOR PEACE.

“CAMPAIGN ONLY BEGINNING.” LLOYD GEORGE ON GENOA. y- ■ By Telegraph.—Prees Amo. —Copyright. Received Aug. 3, 5.5 pjn. London, Aug. Z. Mr. Lloyd George, in the course of a preface he Las written to a history of the Genoa Conference, says; “Like dramas of old, Genoa showed a conflict between two great forces and two current states of feeling and states of mind—l might almost say two worlds, the old and the new, the former consisting of that old world of national blindness, jealousy, fear, suspicion, and prejudice. “The Allies entered the war for a great common ideal, but in the fierce suffering of the ordeal and the passionate triumph of victory the old Adam reasserted himself, a shell-shocked, shaking, nerve-ridden Adam, almost as afraid of his friends as his enemies. The new world and his have a different faith and point of view. While believing that nationalism is the salt and genius making up Western civilisation as a whole, I believe that in tfie welter of passion and economic chaos to which the world has been reduced the welfare of every nation depends upon peace, co-operation and the extension of the helping hand from the strong to the weak. The British Empire delegation stood for that faith at Genoa, supported, I believe, by the goodwill and the deep desire of the majority of all true democracies throughout the world. The campaign for peat* is only beginning. We have won po*lttons from which we must press forward. We have bivouacked on the field and wo must not rest until we have won.”— AwlN.Z. Cable Assn.
