ASK LLOYD GEORGE
Premier of England Will Talk Later on Speech He Delivered in Paris on Blunders in World War.

London, Nov. 14.-Premier Lloyd George will be asked in the house or commons today by former Premier Asquith for a statement in regard to his Paris speech, in which he spoke of the new inter-Allied committee and the blunders which he said had been made by the Allies in the past con- duct of the war. The premier Is ex- pected to be present to reply, but will defer a full statement until later when an opportunity will be given to the house to discuss it.
 The war cabinet Is said to be at one with the premier in all the essen tial points of his Paris speech and the policy which 1t announced, and to be prepared to hold to this policy. The attitude of the rank and file of the unionists will have a considerable eff feet on the preliminary situation. as Chancellor Bonar Law has always said he would not entertain a mo- lion of the coalition cabinet unless he retained the support of the unionists There is a good deal of criticism of he premier's new policy among the unionists although their attitude may he changed by the speech which Lloyd C1eor2e is to make.

and the stock market reflects more
confident optimism. Moreover, .evi-

getting a respite from overwhelming
activity will undergo further straining
to care for the needs of war. The

large in point of activity, with the
signs pointing to even greater pres
