London, Jan. 6. - Premier Lloyd
Georges speech to the delegates OF the
trades unions on Saturday Is charac-
terized by the weekly newspapers as
marking a historical epoch in the war.
The Weekly Dispatch asserts that 1t
is "a courageous call for unity In the
nation in the face of trials aud dangers

the claimant, IL unimportant. minority
who have been endeavoring to drive a
wedge between the government and the
labor party on the false plea that there

speech outlined the British war aims,

The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1918-01-07

The Sunday Times says the most
satisfactory phrases of the speech and
the most discomforting for the prus-
sian war lords gre those which reveal
1t as mot an utterance of either mere
statesmen or political party, but az
the considered utterance of the British
people"
The People asserts Lloyd George has
done inestimable service to the nation
and the entente allies in stating with
out 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 destruc-
ton or the disruption of the German
state or its people"
