Paci6st Lansdowne's Ut"
terance' Yesterday.

London. Aug. 1.-About the same
time that the new peace exhortation
by the Marquis of Lansdowne was
read to a crowd OF pacIfists yesterday,
Premier Lloyd George was making a
virile "win-the-war" speech to a
large gathering Of prominent manu-
facturers.
The text Of the prime minister's ad-
dress was not released until today.
Though not meant as an answer to
the new Lansdowne letter. since the
premisr, as far as is known, knew
nothing about it at the time he was
speaking, his address nevertheless Is
taken by the English press and po-
litical circles as the clearest possible
reply to the pacifist former states
mans plea
Lloyd George was more outspolSen
that he has been heretofore on the
subject of an allied economic working
agreement after the war. His speech
showed that the entente has made
great strides toward such an agree-
ment, though he admitted that the
United States had not yet gone on
record as to its attitude toward the
now famous Paris economic resolu-
ton.
Need Agreement.
'It is vitality important" he
added, that the policy Of America
and England be in complete agree
ment as regards economic as well
as other problems" Tz 90
On. the subject of transport of
raw materials after the war, the
premier said:
II think we ought to see to 1t
that the people who have been fight
ing together should be served first
We must keep the partnership go
ing and help each other to the end,
so that the brotherhood shall re-
main"
Lloyd George reiterated emphat-
ically that the fun blame for the
beginning as well as for the pro-
longation of the war rests upon the
enemy.
Warns Central Powers.
He sounded a warning to the, CEN
trail powers that their obstinacy in
keeping up the slaughter for the sake
Of world dominion will hurt no one
but them. Said the premier:
The longer the war lasts, the
sterner the economic terms we must
impose upon the foe. The sooner he
realizes that the better He is fight
ing in order to impose his own
economic terms upon the allies. He
never will succeed.
I'VE must be in a position to de-
termine the conditions which we re-
gard as fair. without having them
imposed by the will of the enemy
II he continues fighting and imposing
greater burdens on US, destroying our
young manhood. guilty as he already
is of outrages that shake humanity,
he will make it difficult to shake
hands with him when the war is
over, and he will make all the sterner
the terms which we shall have to
impose upon him.
Anxious Times Coming.
NO man should boast until the
battle is over, but all who know
are pleased with the way things
are going.
However, for another month the
time will be anxious"
The premier, dwelling upon the re-
lations between government and in
dustry and commerce, said govern
ment interference with business, es-
sential as 1t was in order to win
the war. must disappear in peace
time. However, he added, the gov
eminent must aid in supplying raw
materials to the Industries. and help
re-equip the allied nations. He con-
tinued:
Don't let US make the mistake of
dissolving the partnership at the mo-
ment the fighting Is over. The world
won't come right Immediately. We
must get into closer touch with our
allies"
1t was the governments duty, he
added, to strengthen and protect the
industries essential to national
safety.
