SCOTS GERMAN PEACE
LLOYD GEORGE WARNS OF MEN,
ACE ON WESTERN FRONT.
Premier Declares He Can See No Ba-
sis for Negotiations in Recent
Address by Czernin.

London, Feb. Recommending on
garian foreign minister, Count Czernin,
In reply to President Wilson, Premier
LlOyd-GeOrge said in the house OF
commons on Tuesday that when it
came to the real substance of the de-
mands of the allies Count CZernin was
adamant.
president Wilson in his speech to
congress called Count Czernin's tone
friendly
Mr.. Lloyd-George said the govern
ment stood by the meetings with the
trades union representatives early this
year. The government, he added, did
not recede In the least from its war
aims, as they had been stated. 1t
was no use, he said, crying peace
when there was no peace.
Regarding the supreme war council,
Mr.. Lloyd-George said it was impossi-
bic to make Il statement as TO the de-
cisions il reached without giving in
formation TO the enemy.
The premier said he would like any
member TO point out anything in the
speeches of Count Czernin or Count
Won Her ling which could possibly be
regarded as proof that the central pow
ers were prepared TO make peace on
terms which could be regarded as just
and reasonable.
Germany's action regarding Russia,
the premier pointed out, proved that
her declarations regarding no annexa-
tons had no real meaning.
