London, April 27-Premier Lloyd

jor problems with which the govern

day at the Guild hall, in acknowledge
ment of the comforting on him of the
freedom of the City of London. Re-
ferring to ireland, the premier said:
Must Convert ireland.

suspicious, dangerous neighbor to a
cheerful, loyal comrade. Settlement
of the Irish question is essential for
the peace of the world and essential
to speedy victory in the war. ap-

Mr. Lloyd George paid tribute to
the financial community through the
help of which British credit had sur
vived the financial panic of the early
days of the war. This community,
he said, took an honorable and lead
ing part in the triumph of the last
war loan, which was the most re-
markable financial exploit witnessed.
After alluding to the organization of
the ministry of munitions, the premi-
er said: 49, .IEt

ultimate victory, it meant victory is
going to be won at less loss and our
