PLAN FOR WAR COUNCIL
LONDON, Nov. II.

LONDON, NOV. II.
The fight against Premier Lloyd Georges
support of an inter.Allied war council came
to a head in the House of Commons this
afternoon, when the Premier himself took
the floor to explain the agreement creating
the organization.
He emphasized that the inter-Allied war
council had mo executive power.
Final decisions as to strategy and as to
the movement of troops will rest with the
Governments" he declared. The Allies
object in the plan was to have "A repre-
sentative central body which should watch
the whole operations of the war and CO.
ordinate plans and, II necessary, propose
new ones"
Lloyd George suggested that the House
of Commons devote next Monday to de-
tailed debate on the whole war council
plan. He then read in full the agreement
between the three Governments of England
France and italy creating the war council.
