tsT MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIsEl
Lopdon, Jan. 5.-The British prime
premier David Lloyd George, today
set forth Great Britain's war aimr
more specifically and at greater
length before the delegates of trades
union than he had ever done before
Having first declared that it was
not a war of aggression against Ger
many or the German people, and that
the breaking up of the German peo-
pies or the disintegration of their
state was not one of the objects for
which the allies were fighting, he
proceeded to mention the fundamental
issues for which Britain and her al
lies were contending.
First among these was the restora
tion of Belgium and reparation for
the injuries inflicted. Next came the
restoration of Serbia, Montenegro and
the occupied parts of France, italy
and Rumania. France must have
Alsace-Lorraine and to this end. the
premier said, the British nation would
stand by the French democracy to the
death,
Touches on Russia.
The question Of Russia was touched
upon, and Mr.. Lloyd George said that
Britain, as well as America, France
and Italy, would have been proud "a
fight by the side of the new Russian
democracy, But now Russia could
only be saved by her own people He
declared an independent Poland an
urgent necessity for the stability OF
western Europe.
Rumania is to be protected, and the
British and other allies are with Italy
in her desire for complete union of
the people of the Italian race and
tongue. OF Austria-Hungary he felt
that while the breaking up of the dual
kingdom was no part of the allied
war aims. it was impossible to hope
for the removal of causes of unrest in
that part of Europe unless genuine
elf-Eovernment was granted the Aus
tro Hungarian nationalities.
AS TO Dardanclles.
The Turkish empire within the
homelands Of the Turkish race, with
Constantinople as its capital, may be
maintained. But the passage between
the Mediterranean and Black sea
must be internationalized and neutral
lied, and in the British view, Arabia,
Armenia, Mesopotamia, Syria and
Palestine are entitled to recognition of
their separate national conditions.
The matter of the German colonies,
all of which now are in the hands OF
the allies, will be placed before CON
ference whose decision. however, must
consider the wishes and interests of
the inhabitants-the future admins
tration must be acceptable to the
various tribes.
The premier made brief reference
to the violations of international law
committed by Germany, with special
emphasis on the sea, and the peace
conference, he declared, must not lose
sight of the outrages suffered by Brit
ish and other seamen and the services
they had rendered.
Three Essential Terms.
The three cardinal points of the
british terms as enunciated by the
British prime minister, are: Re-es-
| tabishment of the sanctty of treaties;
territorial settlement based on the
right of elf-determination or the con-
sent of the governed; the creation OF
an international organization to limit
ornaments and diminish the proba.
! bilty Of war.
| No British statesman since the be
ginning of the war has given such a
| detailed and explicit statement Of
Britain's war aims as contained in the
premier's address, which was deliver
