BERLIN PAPERS
SAY LLOYD GEORGE
POSTPONES PEACE

AMSTERDAM. Dec. 20 (via Lon
DON. n).--Commcnting on Premier Lloyd
Georges speech. the Taegliche Rund-
schau OF Berlin says:
Preparation could bo demanded by
England only II Germany had de-.
clared war on England, IL We were TO
blame for tho war. II wo had COM
mitted crimes against international
law. and IL we had been defeated"
Tho Lokal Anzeiger takes the View
point that MIR. Lloyd Georges re-
marks about reparation are OF no
value, inasmuch as nothing has been
said thus far about peace conditions.
This Newspaper continues:
. III Lloyd George means to post
pone satisfyiny Europs's desire for
peace until the time when the Entente
IS successful in conauering Germany's
armies and those of her allies, then
the whole OF Europe. as we'll as Lloyd
George. knows. full well that this an
nouncement means eternal war. un-
less IL Is In the power OF the German
command TO bring IL TO an earlier
termination than Lloyd George sup
posos."
The Tagesblatt says 1t prefers TO
await the promised reply OF the En-
tcnts, adding:
For the present It appears that
the gulf Is very great between Lloyd
Georges standpoint and that de-
scribed from the German side as the
basis for peace"
Tho following Is from the Socialist
newspaper Vorwaerts:
Lloyd George says that whoever
wantonly prolongs the war will have
q crime upon his soul. DO not these
words imply strong self-condemna-
tion II England rejects the pegotia-
tions offered by the central powers?''
The Neu weiner Journal. published
In Vienna. says:
The reply OF tho Entente Nations

Powers will certainly be as e'yulvocal

Minister. Baron Sonpino. Neverthe.

MOBILIZE LABOR.
|SLL0YD GEORGES
FIRST WAR MOVE
Big Task in Britain Is Given
10 Neville Chamberlain,
Business Man.
NEW HOPE FOR IRELAND
Home Rule Question Likely to
BE Settled at Imperial
Conference.

LONDON. Dec. 20.--The British
public had much TO reflect on 10 day.
The reply to the German proposals
had been anticipated. Tho domestic
programme OF the now Government
was not published until this morning.
and II was too vast and too briefly
Indicated for the immediate crystal
lisation OF opinion.
The most important OF these points
foreshadowed by the Premier was the
the general mobilization Of labor for
war and the vital Industries. Mr..
Lloyd George indicated he meant to
begin with a voluntary plan and that
II this failed he would ask Parila-
ment TO give the Government compul-
sorry powers to place all the labor OF
the State at Its services. His pro-
posal therefore follows somewhat on
the line OF the German mass levy.
When Mr.. Lloyd George invited the
Labor representatives TO join his
Cabinet this scheme was put before
them. but they deferred judgment un-
I'll details were given 20 them. While
expressing the opinion that. after
ompulsory military service. Industrial
conscription Is not impracticable, the
Labor leaders arc dubious as to Its
success, feeling the outcome depends
entirely on how the workmen take Il.
III there is hostility In the rank and
fle OF organized labor the scheme,
they believe. will fail.
The task allotted to Neville Cham
berlain. who has been appointed Di-
rector General OF National Service, OF
scheduling certain industries as In
dispensable and supplying them with
the necessary labor and material. and
At the same time putting the indis-
pensable industries on fixed allow
ances OF labor. raw material and man
powers. Ii considered a stupendous
one. but Mr.. Chamberiain's great ex-
perience In business is expected to
carry him through.
He will have a military director un-
der him TO conduct recruiting for the
army and q civil director In charge Of
recruiting for industry. 81
Dealing with the relations of the
War Cabinet with the general Gov
eminent. Mr.. Lloyd George suggested
that the connection DO maintained by
circulation Of reports OF the proceed
ings OF the Cabinet. As to Parlla-
ment. he limited that lhe French Com
mittee system might be adopted.
Shipping and coal mines are to be
put under the same kind OF control
rs railways.
The fact that the Premier passed
straight from Ireland to tho Imperial
Conference suggests that he hopes TO
find n solution OF the Irish problem
in this conference. II had been
promised previously that Ireland
would be one OF the subjects OF dis
cussion at the next Imperial confer
ence. and as most of the domlnlons
favor some form OF Home Rule. II is
believed this will be the best means
OF settling the long disputed ques-
ton.
The Government probably will re-
quire the whole eight weeks of the
Parfam entaiy recess to produce the
measures foreshadowed, which also
include more drastic dealing with ex.
production by an extension OF Guilt

was snugly packed. Besides the
