lieious. and that he hoped this misu~-
Outstanding would be removed.

Must Overcome Distrust
at was a ouagmire Of distrust which
clogged my footsteps and made progress
impossible. That is the real enemy OF
ireland. II that could be slain | be-
lcve il would accomplish an act or
reconciliation that would make Ireland
greater and Britain greater and make
the United Kingdom and the empire
greater than they ever we're before.
THAT is why | have always Thought
and said that the real solution OF the
Irish problem is largely one of better
atmosphere; not merely for myself. but
tor my colleagues, when | say We shall
strive to produce that better feeling"
Paving tribute TO the contribution.
Of the dominions to the prosecution OF
the war, Mr.. Lloyd George said the new
administration was just as full or
gratitude as the old for the superb
yalor Of our kinsmen," and he now be-
lieved the dominons ought 10 be more
fully consulted as TO the progress and
course Of the war, the steps that ought
70 be taken to secure victory and the
best methods OF garnering its fruits.
"We propose, therefore, at an early
date" he went on, ito summon sn I'M
perial conference and place the whole
position before the dominions and take
counsel with them as to what further
action they and we should take together
In order TO achieve an early and COM
plete triumph for the ideals they and
We are lighting for"
Allies Must Cooperate
OF the cooperation between the En-
tente Allies he said:
"As 20 our relations with our allies
I venture 20 say ne should seek TWO
things 81 aim and unity OF ac-
ton Before we can take full advan-
tage o. the enormous resources OF the
Allies there must be some means OF
arriving al clear decisions and carry
ing them out ! believe II this is done
10 will serve 20 equalize conditions.
"There must be more consultauon
between men, in the matter OF ths
direction of affairs there must be less
feeling that each country has got only
its own front 20 look after. There
must he a just policy OF common
front. There must be recognition by
all the Allies that there Is only one
front. instead OF having Overwhelming
guns az one spot and bare breasts ana
gallant breasts az another.
Regrets Rumanian Blunder
Dealing with the war situation, the
Premier said ne had 10 paint a stern
but not gloomy picture. The Rumanlan
blundcr WIS mn unfortunate one, hut
at the worst 10 on.y prolonged the
war, and could not affect II.
IL might have d salutary effect, he
continued, in calling the attention OF
the Allies 10 obvious defects OF organ
ization. To prevent the Rumanian slt,
uation from becoming worse they had
taken strong action IN Greece. Ihey
were taking 10 risks. They had dee!d-
ed TO recognize the agents or former
Premier NeniZelos.
Mr.. Lloyd George referred briefly TO
his break with Mr.. AsQuith, saying:
~. is one OF the deepest regrets OF
my life that ] parted from Mr.. AS
quith, and come OF roy friends have
known how ! strove 70 avert the part
ing. am proud TO say we never had
personal quarrel. 1t was with the
deepest grief that found it necessary
10 send my resignation"

Nationslists. referring 20 the Premier's
remarks with regard TO ireland, ap-
pealed 70 him 10 take drastic action for
a settlement OF the Irish question, but
