tails as to the amount of money re-
quired and the manner in which it

LLOYD GEORGE FAVORS
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Deputation Urging the Speedy
Adoption of Scheme Told
Of Sympathy for Scheme
London, July /.

London, July l.
Premier Lloyd George. replying to a
large deputation from both houses of
Parliament that called on him day
or two ago to urge the necessity of
speedy adoption of scheme Of Federal
devolution. expressed himself in hearty
sympathy with this. He declared, ac-
oording to the official report, that he
had always been strong federalist.
He realized. he said. that Parliament
would be utterly unable to deal ade-
quatey with postwar problems, If at
the same time it was taxed with the
local affairs of Scotland, Wales and
Ireland but it would be impossible to
carry through such measure during
the war unless assured of something like
general assent of Parliament.
How far devolution would help to
solve the Irish question he did not like
to predict. TT is never very safe to
indulge in prophecy when the talk is
about Ireland said the Premier, be
cause there has been SO many prophe-
Cies and they have always ended in a
dispute. But if scheme is adopted
which would give equal treatment on a
federal basis to ireland, England, Scot
land and Wales. you can say to Irish
men: Well, we are giving you exactly
what we are talking ourselves. and
what is good enough for us ought to
be good enough for you
That said the Premier, would satisfy
the dominons, which, on the whole, are
convinced that we have not extended to
Ireland the measure of freedom which Is
her due
when you come to America" he con-
tinued, there is no doubt at all of the
feeling there l have received letters
within the last few days from very
prominent Americans who are thorough
ly pro- English and who have a great ad-
miration for this country. They are un-
happy in their hearts that the Irish
question has not been solved. What Is
wanted is to propose a solution which
will enable us to say that we have dealt
justly with that country"
Speeches in behalf Of the deputation
were made by Lord Brassey, the Earl of
Selborne and John MacKinnon Roberts
and William Adamson. members of the
House of Commons. Mr. Adamson, rep
resentinR labor, said that that party
would not acquiesce In the attempt to
set up federal form of government
being made the excuse for hanging up
| home rule for Ireland"
No representative from Ireland was
included in the deputation.

s Xhn arrival in Paris of NJ. kerensky,
~ t6rsner Russian Premier, arouses vir-
/ to6iIt 10 interest in Russian official cir
,ctns IA the French capital. He himself
lnsiste that he is travelling incognito, but
&he Russians who have received him are
6veu more emphatic that he is calling at
tontlun to the fact that he is seen strict
n ss1a private citizen.
IN no sense is Kerensky considered by
h1s compatriots here as man from
whose ability and influence Russia has
anything to hope in her future rehabi;i-
tAtious His capacity for serving Russia
ID said to be finished! and there is moth
Ing useful he han do in Russia itself.
Among the Russians to whom I have
4 talked was a colonel formerly of the
Yetrokrad general staff in the early
4 days Of the revolution and a personal as
soclAte Of General Korniloff.
sKerensky's intentions were good"
said this colonel, but his mistakes were
crimes. He destroyed the army by de-
stroying discipline He is opposed to the
Bolsheviki, but his weakness gave the
Bolsheviki their opportunity. He alone
made possible the ruin brought to Russia
BY Lenine and Trotzky. The greatest
Of Kerensky's crimes was his betrayal Of
instead of cooperation with Korniloff.
Such Evaporation last year between
Kerensky and Korniloff would have
saved Russia.
Those now working and hoping for
orderly government in Russia neither
expect nor want any help from keren-
sky. His country has not yet pardoned
him for destroying the army and making
Russia the prey of the German invaders
and Of anarchists"
As yet Kerensky has no definite plans
