PRAISES BUOYANCY
OF FRENCH NATION

London, July Embarrassing the
press representatives in the gallery OF
the House of Commons today, Premier
Lloyd George referred to the buoyan-
cy of the French nation after three
years of war. and said: Il found dur
ing my visit to Paris that the spirit

/ had ever known it. There was

, that heterogeneous state should be al
i lowed to develop along their own lines
and to carry on their civilization in their
own way.
LAS everybody knows" continued Mr..
Balfour. I'VE first entered the war to de-
fend Belgium and prevent France from
being crushed before our eyes. We hop
ed to see Europe freer and more stable"
If France asked it. he failed TO see how
Great Britain could refrain from going on
to assist her until she got back to the
position which existed before the attack
engineered against her by Bismarck in
1871. namely, that she obtain restora ton
Of that which she was violently robbed
more than 40 years ago.
France Fighting for Existence
Mr.. Balfour expressed an opinion
which was simply his own when he
said that if France asked for Alsace-
Lorraine Great Britain should support
her, but he declared that France was
not fighting for Alsace- Lorraine
alone: she was fighting for her very
existence.
AS to the characterization of Ger
many, said the secretary, it had been
hoped that autocracy would give place
to parliamentary institutions as they
are understood. but nobody was fool
ish enough to suppose that it would
be possible to impose on Germany a
constitution made outside of Germany.
Until Germany was either made pow
erless or free he did not think the
peace of Europe could be secured. The
fight must go on for if this war end
ed with a German peace, that would
only be a prelude to a new European
war. If the peace was to be one that
England and America, which had in
terest on the continent, could approve,
then it would lead to permanent set
tiement which would in turn conduce
to that great understanding of the ma
tions which would give Europe a Sc
curity it had never known before.
