which Premier Lloyd Georges def1ni-

the article says. 1t continues:
"The allies are preparing their pub

were forced to come to terms with the
enemy she, and not the allies, would
bear the cost of peace. The greater
sacrifices Russia makes the less the
allies will have to pay: They could
reach the same result by joining in
the peace negotiations. but in that case
it would be apparent that they had
betrayed Poland, Lithuania, Courland
and Rumania, using Russia as small
change to pay these debts. Forcing
Russia to make peace and allow Ger
many to subjugate the Poles, etc, they
can blame Russia and clear themselves

thwarted only by the peoples in a
