seen AS ALLIES REPLY
Lloyd Georges Speech Looked On
As Final Answer to Teutons.
In Effect Address Is Rejection Of
German Terms AS Given BY
Central Powers.

London, Jan. Sin an epoch-making
speech delivered at what he declared
to be the most critical hour of the war,
David Lloyd George, the British pre-
mier, spurned as insincere Germany's
peace proposals and laid Great Brit
aims var aims before the world both
more broadly and more specifically
than they have yer before been form
ulated.
The premier's address is looked on
as the final reply of the Allies to
the recent German proposals and
undoubtedly is the result of the re-
cent conference between Mr.. Lloyd
George and Premier Georges Clemen-
ceau of France. The premier was
addressing the trades unions.
A just and lasting peace is the
British aim, the premier. reiterated,
and this, he declared, must be
achieved by the rezestablishment of
the sanctity of treaties, territorial
adjustments on the basis of self-de-
termination and the limitation of arm
aments carried out by the creation
of an international organization.
Great Britain is prepared to make
even greater sacrifices in achieving
these ends, he declared.
In effect the speech was a reply
to and a rejection Of the German
peace terms as voiced by the 'spokes-
nan for the Central powers at the
Brest-Litovsk conference. No lasting
peace is possible on this basis, he
asserted, emphasizing the point that
mere lip service to the formulas of
no annexations, no indemnities, and
self-determination will not suffice.
