Premier Lloyd Georje pf. an announce-
ment that "as the prime minister after
making inquinea haa Teason to belleva
that there is no desire to avail the ac-
tion of the British delegates at the Paris
conference has decided to begin the dis-

t ence .in franing the league of nations

I "It is not true that the United States
; ' and Europe have been at variance' tbe
I premier declared. He deprecated at-
tempts to sow dissensions among the
I delegatea. '
J Lloyd George .said' that it waa his
t earnesf. conviction that . military inter-
vention in Bussia would be the greatest
i ' act of stupidity.
The premier said reliable information
i ' ahowed that while the bolshevik force
? waa apparently growing bolshevism
; itself Waa gradually waning breaking
down before the relentless force of econ-
; 'omld facta. v - . .
v la his reference to the league of na-
; tiona deliberations IJoyd George aaid
j the conference might have taken more
i . time hut for the fact that it was setting
up a. machinery capable of readjusting
t and correcting possible mistakes. .
5 No Time Wasted.
"And 'that ia why the league of na-
; tionn instead of wasting time ' aaved
time" he added. ;
Tbe conference had to shorted its
- labors continued the premier because
; while it waa trying to build in many
' land -the foundation of aooiety waa turn
" i blinf into the dust. No body pf men
f.f worked harder or in better harmony than
" the peace conferees be asserted and be
V doubted whether any body of men ever
r worked under greater difficulties.
"Stones were clattering on the roof
and crashing through the windows .and
i ' wild men .were screaming through the
keyhole whOe the enormous issues de-
' pended upon them which required ealm
i" deliberations" the premier said. v
- He asked for the opportunity for such
deliberations for the rest of the journey
which was not at an end.

: ' "Then" he added "there ia the great
- organisation great experiment but an
experiment upon which the whole peace
" of the world hangs the aoclety of na-
i tions."
With almost every nation in the world
engaged in considering these problems
the oremier said the deleaates were ius-
tihed in taking some time for their work

dom for the conference to finish its labors
t ; without further harrying be continued
' ' along this line to point to the dangera of
. not allowing the conferees the calm de-
; liberation they required. .
5 . "It. ia full of . perils perila.for .thia
country and for all lands perils for the
' . people of the world" he declared lie
begged that the men who were doing their
; best should be' left in peace or else other
I men be sent to do the work. -The dele-
' : gatea were dealing with many nations;
most of tbem with problems of their own.
r . each with a different point of .-view and
; it required all tbe .tact' patience and skill
that could be commanded to prevent the
varying interests developing into conflict i
; Jog interest. -1 ;. i
The premier said he believed the' con-
; . ference had surmounted these dlffioulties
. " but it waa not an easy Usk.' There were
questlona one never heard of which aU

-:' ' Rutsla for Rutslana.
t After saying that there was no'ques-
; tion of recognising ' the Russian soviet
J government that auch a proposition had
' never been discussed or even 'proposed
. the premier said it waa a fundamental
" principle ot tsntisn foreign policy never
I to interfere with the internal affairs of
other countries. The eoverrtmeat of Ru
sia waa a matter- for the Russian people.
It was at tbia point that the premier
declared tbat it waa not tbe duty or tbe
I5rttisii government to 'commit toe coun
try to - gigantic enterprises m order to
improve Kussian conditions mneh aa the
government deplored those conditions
pointing out that Russia was a country
very easy of invasion but a very bard
one from which to withdraw
i katl-BoUhavIk Actloa
"Bolshevism" said the premier "had
threatened to impress by force of arms
ita domination over the populations which
had revolted against it. and it would have
been an act thoroughly unworthy of
any great land to say to those popula
tions we arc exceedingly obliged to you
you have served our purpose and we need
yau no longer' and have left them to
the bolshevik iroop. . It is our duty
since we asked them totake thia step.' to
promise them support. - Wo are not Aend-H
ing troops because every Busman thought
that if Bussia were to be redeemed she
must be redeemed by her .own aons. and
they asked that they be aupplied with the
necessarr arms." "
The. premier aaid he did not consider
that wis was a departure rrom tbe fun-
damental policy of Great Britain of not
interfering in the internal affaire of any
land. He continued:
"Our policy la to arrest the flood ot the
present .forcible eruption of bolshevism
into allied landa and for that reason we
are organising all the forces in allied
countries bordering on Russian territory
from tne lilac sea to the iialtic. if tbe
bolshevik! attack any of our -alliea it is
our business to defend them
"This ia oar policy but we want oeace
in Russia. The world will not be passive
aa long aa Bussia ia torn and rent by
ciivi war. 4
rlt ia our policy to make peace among
the' warring nations not by recognising
one party but by inducing them to come
together with a view to setting up some
authority in Russia which would be ac-
ceptable to the whole Russian people and
tnat tne alliea could recognise aa their
jgovernment." '
He did not despair he aaid of a solu-
tion being found.

LONDON April 18. In one of tba
most sensational and eloquent speeches
ever delivered in the house of commons.
Premier Lloyd George. Wednesday after
noon declared that the perce terms to
be presented next week will dmand pay
ment of the cost of the war by the. Ger
man people punishment of the kaiser and
other Individuals responsible. France w&l
be given Security against new attacks.
There will be no military intervention in
Kussia. The' alliea will not recognize tne
bolshevlste. He denied that serious dif-
ferences had -arisen between Great
Britain France Italy and the United
States or any of them. ' f
"Every decision haa been arrived at
unanimously" he declared.
.AttaaJta Lord Northcliffe. .
.' Without naming him and yet making
bia identity perfectly clear Lloyd George
made a scathing and terrible' attack on
Lord Northcliffe holding 'him responsible
for the attempt to destroy the confidence
of.Hhe house of common! in the govern
ment and blaming him also for reports
of trouble between the. alliea.
"At home we know him" aaid the pret
mier "but in Franco they look on the
Times' as 'a serious journal. We make
allowance for him because he is a man
suffering under a. keen disappointment
No matter haw ridiculous were his ex-
pectations the disappointment ia no lesa
outer ana tnoae woo a
iDDroach I n tell
him constantly - that he la the only man
who can make neace.
"He la waiting for the clamor ot the
multitude to call him to Paria to settle
the destinies of nations. But there la not
a whisper not a sound."
After referring to the attempt to make
it appear that America waa quarreling
with France and Great Britain or with
both Premier Lloyd George concluded hia
attack: -
