the war had cost Germany less than it
had cost Great Britain. 1t had cost
Great Britain, he declared, eight bill
lion pounds, a gigantic sum. The
German bill, he believed, was six or
seven billion pounds. He contended
it was indef5nsible that the person who
was in the wrong and had lost should
pay less than the person who was de-
clared to be in the right and had won.
The premier said the British imper-
ial commission had been appointed to
investigate the capacity Of Germany

report. He summarized his remarks
on this point as follows:
/. "As far as justice is concerned
we have an absolute right to demand
the whole cost of the war from Ger
many,
2. 1--WE propose to demand the
whole cost of the war from Germany.
3. When you come to the exact
ing of it we must exact in such a way
that ii does not do more harm to the
country that receives it than the cOun-
try that is paying it.
4. The commission appointed by
the British cabinet believes that that
can be done.
5. Tho allies are in exactly the
same boat, We shall put in our de-
mands oil together and whatever they
are they must come in front Of the
German war debt"
The prime minister continued:
"The first consideration in the
minds Of the allies viii be the inter-
ests of the people upon whom the Ger
mans have made war and not in the
interests of the German people who
have made war and have been guilty
of that crime"
Kaiser should Suffcr
With regard to the former German
EMPEROR the premier said:
There is absolutely no doubt that
he has committed a crime against in
ternatlonal right and there is abso-
lutely no doubt that he ought to he
held responsible for ii so far as the
European allies are concerned
The premier said he hoped that Am
erica would take the same view when
President Wilson arrived as to the de-
mand that would he put forward on
the part of the European allies ito
make the kaiser and his accomplices
responsible fer this terrible crime"
Referring to a letter said to have
been written by a British general to
French general in which the British
officer was quoted as saving it was
proposed to establish q British nations
al army of twenty divisions based on
conscription bat that THE cabinet
would not touch this until after the
elections and then not until this

discussed at the peace conference" 81
Premier Lloyd George declared.
"The cabinet never heard of the
scheme. So far as the cabinet is con-
cerncd it is purely an expression of
the opinion of some general"
