was Premier Lloyd George.
The disclosure came as a result Of a
telegram Lloyd George sent Marshal
Foch, on October ?, 1918. the 9th birth
day anniversary of Foch, congratulating
Foch upon the splendid showing the Al
lied armies were making undeh Foch's
command. Marshal Foch's reply was:
81 am greatly touched by your
congratulations and thank you sim
cerely. / do not forget that it Is to
your insistence that / owe the posi-
tion which l occupy today"
While this fact has been known to
all diplomats and Allied missions in the
United States and to high officials Of
the United States, certain politicians
and newspaper correspondents have
persistently made representations TO the
contrary. Now that Marshal Foch has
publicly given Premier Lloyd George
credit for the creation Of the allied
unity of command and military action,
political efforts to make it appear
otherwise will probably cease.
