Lloyd George Gives Aims
OF All Allies, Is Belief Here
Washington Pleased by Premer's Stand; Backs
Wilson's Declaration, Officials Say; May Save
Russia From Humiliatng Terms

George had double purpose in mind
in making his address. Only last week
the British trade unions registered
their strong insistence upon a decla-
ration of Entente aims, and the Pre-
mier's address to-day was taken as an
answer to that demand A second OBJ
ject which the Premier is believed to
have had in mind was to impress upon
the Russian peace delegates the fact
that the war aims of the Entente
Allies are more nearly in consonance
with their own altruistc aspirations
than anything which the Central
Powers can offer them.
One inference drawn from the Pre-
mier's address was that he still hopes
that the German negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk can be baked in their efforts
to force humiliating peace upon Rus
sia. In that connection it was recalled
that hints had been given in semi of
fetal organs of a willingness of the
Entente Powers to recognize the Boil
sheviki government, if it acted fairly
toward the nations fighting Germany.
1t also was regarded as possible that
the address might suffice to meet the
demand of Leon Trotzky for state
ment Of the Entente war aims, within
tenday period just about to elapse,
without actually committing the pow

New-York tribune., 1918-01-06

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-Premier
Lloyd Georges address to the British
trade unions to-day on Great Brtain's
war aims created a profound impress
sion in official circles in Washington
Comment on it, however, was withheld
until officials could give it thorough
study.
That the address was not unexpected
was plain. The growing anxiety ex-
hibited by the Entente chancellories
since the beginning of the BrestLi-
tovsk peace conferences and the openly
expressed belief that some steps must
be taken to counteract the insidious
attempts Of the German delegates to
misrepresent the aims Of their enemies
had convinced Washington officials that
there soon must come from some au-
thoritatlve source a clear, outspoken
declaration of the real position of the
powers fighting Germany.
Some exchanges that have taken
place between the United States and
her co-belligerents recently had point
ed to desire on the part of some Of
the governments that President Wilson
again should speak in defence of the
position he had alreadv taken in re-
ment felt, however, that as the Presi-
dent twice had outlined in the most
formal and public manner his beliefs,
Americas position had been sufficiently
disclosed, for the present at least.
While it was ntimated that the
Washington government had not been
advised in advance of what the British
Premier was to say, that the aims he
outlined will not lead to any differences
between the powers seems assured, not
only by the preceding exchanges be-
tween the Entente Powers and Wash
ington, but also by the harmonious pro-
ceedings of the inter-Allied war coun-
Gil in Paris, at which all the subjects
treated by Premier Lloyd George to-
day were considered.
Some officials pointed out that the
British Premier had taken the repeated
declarations of the Italian. French and
British Premiers, and not only had
clarified them, but had stated them
more frankly. and directly than they
had been presented before. 1t was
noted that even President Wilson s
ideas were developed more sharply than
he himself had expressed them.
Although it had all the force of an
official declaration. it was pointed out
here that Lloyd Georges speech after
all could not be seized upon by the
Central Powers as definitely binding
the Entente Allies or even Great Brit
ain to literal acceptance of his war
aims as the basis of peace. They might,
however, properly be regarded as a ten
tative outline Of British and probably
Entente Allied aims.
1t isEbelieved here that Mr.. Lloyd

country, is having a powerful effect in
German politics and is likely to lead to
sharp conflict between the Centre and

with an oil can he wouldn't get it filled
any quicker than the dshwasher at
that restaurant down the street."
Mr. Rockefeller, however. left his
useless oil can behind and took his
family to Tarrytown. There, his father,
who. buys direct from the mines, had
so much coal on hand last summer that
he sent five carloads back. declining
to sell it to other residents because,
he said, the government might need it.
