Premier May Haze Acted
For All Allies in Speech

In his recent letter to the labor
congress Premier Lloyd George said
he could not further define Great
Britain's war aims without consulting
with the nations allies.
In yesterdays address, however, he
did not mention having taken up the
question of aims with representatives
of the Allies, although he detailed dis
cussions with leaders of different
parties in Great Britain and with the
governments Of overseas dominions,
and said he would gladly have taken
up the matter with prominent Irish
men had they not been at present
absorbed in the solution of Ireland's
own problems,

Teuton Terms Clear
On One Point ONLY

Reparation for Belgian towns and
villages and their inhabitants, he as
serted, had been repudated emphat-
ically by the Central Powers, and the
rest of their so-called offers were al
most entirely q refusal of all conces-
slons. On one point only were they
clear. Under no circumstances would
Germany's demand for the restoration
of the whole of her colonies be de-
parted from. All the principles Of
selfdetermination here vanish
j. ut is impossible to believe that any
permanent peace can be erected on
such a foundation" said the Premier.
Mere lip service to the formula of no
annexation, no indemnity and self
determination is useless.
"The days Of the treaty Of Vienna
are long past. We can no longer sub
nit the future of European civiliza-
ton to the arbitrary decisions of a
few negotiators striving to secure by
chicanery or persuasion the interests
of this or that dynasty or nation.
Therefore, government with the con-
sent of the governed must be the basis
of any territorial settlement. For that
reason also, unless treaties be upheld,
1T is obvious that no treaty of peace
can be worth the paper on which it is
written.
The first requirements always made
by the British and their Allies have
been the complete restoration, politi-
cal. territorial and economic, Of the
independence of Belgium and such
reparation as can be made for the
devastation of its towns and provin ces.
1t is no demand for war indemnity
but insistence that before there can
be any hope of stable peace this great
breach of public law in Europe must
be repudiatcd, and, SO far as is pos
. sible, repaired.
N Preparation means recognition. I'm
less international right is recognized
by insistence on payment for injury
done in defiance of its cannon it can
never be reality.
Next comes the restoration of Ser
bia, Montenegro and the occupied parts
of France, Italy and Rumania. The

the fundamental condition of per

Stand by France in
Claims for Alsace

great wrong of II, when Alsace Lor-
raine was torn away. This sore has
poisoned the peace of Europe for half
century, and until cured healthy con-
ditions cannot be restored"
The Premier said he would not at
tempt to deal with the question of the
Russian territories now in German oc-
cupation. The Russian policy since
the revolution had passed through so
many phases that it was difficult to
speak, without some suspension of
judgment, on what the situation would
be when the terms of European peace
come to be discussed. Referring to
the facts that tho war was started by
Russia's decision to protect Serbian

can independent Poland, comprising
all genuinely Polish elements who de-
sire to participate, is an urgent neces-
sity for the stability of Western Eu-
rope.
Though we agree with President
Wilson that the breaking up of Austria
Hungary is no part Of our war aims, we
feel that unless genuine self-govern-
ment on true democratic principles is
granted those Austro- Hungarian ma
tionalities who have long desired it it
is impossible to hope for the removal
of those causes Of unrest in that part
OF Europe which have so long threat
ened its general peace
ON the same grounds, we regard as
vital the legitimate claims of the Ital-
ians tor union with those of their own
race and tongue. We also mean to
press that justice be done to the men
or humanlan blood and speech in their
legitimate aspirations. II these condi-
tons were fulfilled Austria Hungary
would become a power whose strength
would conduce to the permanent peace
and freedom of Europe, instead of the
instrument Of pernicious Prussian
military autocracy.
Outside of Europe we believe that
the same principles should be annl;ed
