The question of Russia was touched upon, and MT. Lloyd George said that Britain, as we'll as America, France and Italy would have been proud to fight by the side of the new Russian democ- racy. But now Russia could only be saved by her own people. He declared an independent Poland an urgent ne- cessity 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 self government was granted the Austro- Hungarian na- tionalitieS
 The Turkish empire, within the homelands of the Turkish race with Constantinople as it's capital, may be maintained. But the passage between the Mediterranean and Black Sea must be internationalized and neutralized and in the British view, Arabia, Ar menla, Mesopotamia, Syria and Pales-
 
 separate national conditions.
 The matter of the German colonies all of which now are in the hands of the allies, will be placed before a con- ference whose decision, however, must consider the wishes and interests of the lnhabitants-the future adminis- i tration must be acceptable to the | various tribes.

 Re-establishment of the sanctity of treaties; territorial settlement based on the right of self f-determination or the consent of the governed; the crea- ton or an international organization to limit armaments and diminish the probability of war.
 No British statesman since the be- ginning of the war has given such a detailed and explicit statement of Britalns war aims as contained in the premlers address, which was deliy. cred before the man-power conference of the labor leaders in Westminster hall. Three hundred delegates wer, present and also Sir Auckland Geddes minister of national service. anC George R. Roberts, minister of labor George N. Barnes, member of the wa, cabinet, presided
