Government Policy
Presented by Curzon
In House of Lords

London, Dec. 19.-ln presenting the poll
cy of the government in the House OF
Lords. Earl Curzon, who is member OF
the new war council, said:
THE policy of the new government is
that the war must be conducted with the
utmost prosecution; that there must be an
ample return for all sacrifices; that full
reparation must be made by the enemy
for his countless crimes, and security
given that those crimes will not be re-
peated, and that the sacrifices made shall
not have been in vain
THE governments aim is that the peace
of Europe shall be re-establshed on the
basis of the free and independent exist
ence of nations great and small and that
as regards this country it shall be free
from the menace which the triumphs OF
Germany and the German spirit would
entail.
"Our answer to Germany's latest move
must be swift and sure. 1t is not toe
much to ask the people to take upon
themselves for few months the obliga-
lions which Germany has imposed upon
herself. The nation is fighting for its life
and is entitled TO the best and fullest ser
vice of its sons

House Would Allow
10000 Government
Employees More Pay

Washington, Dec. 19.-Salary or wage
increases of from 5. to 10 per cent for
about 5000 government employees receiv-
ing less than $500 year, and of $500 a
year for each representatives secretary,
were provided for in the executive, legis-
lative and judicial appropriation bill pass
ed today by the House without record
vote. The secretaries now get $500 a
year. An attempt to provide each repre-
sentative with an extra stenographer at
SIS month during the session failed.
Discussion Of the measure which car
ried appropriations aggregating about
$50. 100000 was productive of much debate
over the financial condition Of the coun-
try. Chairman Fitzgerald Of the appro-
priations committee and Rep. Rainey OF
the ways and means committee protested
against the proposed increases on the
ground that the government already
faced a huge deficit. Representative
Rainey declared the next budget would
exceed $l.6 GOO. 100000 and that the country
was confronted with the possibility Of at
tempting to collect 10000. 900 more in new
taxes.
