SPEECH BY MR. LLOYD-GEORGE,

In the evening a public meeting in con-
nexion with the Peace Congress was held in
the Queen's-hall. The Chancellor of the Eek
chequer was the principal speaker, and was
subjected in the course of his address to
frequent Interruptions from female advocates
of woman suffrage, a number OF whom were
elected.
Why, said Mr. Iloyd-Gaoyge, cannot
statesmen settle their countries disputes IN
the same way as they do their individnal
disputes ? (Cheers) Do nations hate each
other do the people hate each otherY
(Cries of "No.") In Germany you have q
number of labourers who are producing
beet. They sell the mass OF it to us. Why
should they kill their bost customersT

of getting on in business. (Laughter.)
We buy tens of m~illions} of goods IN Ger
many why should they kill us They buy
about ESQ, 600, 600 worth Of goods from us;
why should we want to kill them ? (Cheets.)
That is not the way to increase our trade.
What folly, what stupidity this is! Nine
tenths Of these disputes and quarrels arse
from q misunderstanding of each others
motives. (Hear, hear.) There are people
in this country -people of great experience
aud in very exalted positions-wko are hrln-
" under the impression that Germany
means to attack us. There are people IN
Germany who are equally convinced that
we are prepared to attack them. And from
