SAME PRINCIPLE
APPLIED TO POLAND.
The same principle was applied in
the case of Poland, which the premier
said should be an Independent state
and comprise all genuinely Polish els-
ments that wished to unite in it.
Again, in the case of the German
colonies, Mr.. Lloyd George pointed
out that the wishes and interests Of
their native nhabitants must be pri-
marily regarded by the peace confer
ence A
The principle was also applied in
the case Of Turkey. whose dominion
it was not proposed to challenge in
the home lands Of the Turkish race,
although the premier expressed the
view that the Dardanelles should be
internationalized. Such nationalities
as the Arabs and the Armenians, and
the inhabitants of Syria, Palestine
and Mesopotamia, however. should
have their separate national condi-
tions recognized.

possible. had always been the first
requirement in the making Of a peace,
the premier pointed out, and this he
reiterated. He repeated likewise the
|pronouncement that there was no de-
sire for the disruption OF Germany
but, instead. a wish to turn her from
schemes of military domination to the
performance Of beneficial tasks in the
world.
80 far as Russia was concerned
Mr.. Lloyd George said that sGrea,
Britain, France. italy and America
would be glad TO fight to the end be-
side the Russian democracy but that
Russia's present rulers had decided

own people could save Russia from
the .'complete economic and ultimate

was designing for her. .. Il

David Lloyd George, the British premier, in epoch
making speech delivered today what he declared to be
the most hour of the war; laid Great Britans

REPLY TO GERMAN. PROPOSALS.
In effect the speech reply and rejection Of
the German peace terms voiced by the spokesman for
the central powers the BrestLovsk conference. No
lasting peace possible this basis he asserted,
phaszng the point that lip service to the formulas
of annexatons, ndemnities and selfdetermnaton
would not suffice.
The broad principle of recognition of the rights Of
nationaes formed the basis of the preiers
He eruncated this specifically in declaring That govern
men by consent of the governed must be the foundation
Of any territorial adjustments after the replacing the
old method of settlement by bargaining around council
table by few negotators scheng the interests
of one dynasty another.
Backing up this idea, he declared that Great Britain
proposed stand by France in her demand for the right

Lorraine and supporting Italy in her claims for
union with peoples of her and tongue under
