ing" and adds:
"These are the aims for which we
entered the war. For them we have
bled unfiinchingly more than three
years, and for them. as the premier
well said, we are prepared to face even
heavier sacrifices than any we yet have
endured"
The Sunday Times says the most
satisfactory phrases Of the speech, and
the most discomfortfng for the Prus-
sian war lords, are those which re-
veal 1t as mot an utterance Of either
mere statesmen or political party,
Ebut as the considered utterance Of the
British people,"
The National News says: III there
was ever any doubt about the things
for which the manhood OF our empire
has been gloriously making a great
sacrifice, such can no longer exist"
It adds that the Importance Of the
speech was greatly increased by the
reason that it was delivered to the rep
|resentatives Of labor. The newspaper
concludes:
THAT the premier should have Sc
iected this democratic channel for his
historic pronouncement is surely sig
nifcant of his belief that the organized
movement Of democracy is the power
which shall rule the world in the COM
ing golden time.~
[ The People asserts Mr.. Lloyd George,
has done inestimable service to the
nation and the entente allies in stating
frankly and without reservation Great
Britain's war aims, and adds:
1T will no longer be possible for our
present enemies to profess honest
doubt as to what we are fighting for
or to delude any intelligent German
with, the fable that our aim is the de-
struction or, the disruption Of the Ger
man state or its people,"
