Can't Wait Any Longer
in Completing Peace
With Turkey, Declares
Lloyd George.
Agreed Upon Non-lnter-
vention in Russia, He
Adds, While y. S. and
Japan Discuss Future.

London, Dec. IS. = Without
any disrespect and without
wishing to deprive America of
the honor of sharing in the
guardianship of Christian COM
munities, the allies have decided
to make peace with Turkey at
the earliest moment, Premier
Lloyd George declared in the
house of commons.
Mr.. Lloyd George said there
was complete agreement among
the allies on the question of
non-intervention in Russia, but
that discussions were proceeding
between the United States and
Japan concerning future action,
should the bolsheviki advance
reach to any considerable degree
eastward.
Premier Lloyd George said it
was impossible to make peace
with Russia because of the civil
war existing there. If, the boil
sheviki wanted to speak for
Russia, he added, they must
summon a national assembly
based on broad franchise that
would represent something with
which the allies could make
Oeace
Feared to InfIame Italy
The premier began by defending
certain reticency in negotiation, instanc-
ing the danger of dropping a word cal
culatod to kindle inflamable opinion in
Italy regarding E,iume.
With reference to the Anglo American
French conventions he said that the
British government had given no under
taking on the subject. for it could not
imagine the United States would dis
honor the signature of its great repre-
sentative. He admitted that for Great
Britain 70 undertake the charge alone
would be a serious obligation, which he
would not enter upon without the CON
sent of parliament.
Dismal in Russia
Adding to his Russian statement. he
said it was dismal prospect. but all
that could be done was to keep yigilant
watch until Russia issued from its pres
ent darkness with a stable government
TO carry on negotiations.
The premier referred to the assist
ance the allies were rendering Austria
in food. coal and other supplies which
he described as a mere soup kitchen
policy To mitigate a situation requiring
large methods.
Says America Must Aid.
But" the premier continued, Eng
land already il severely burdened and
cannot alone undertake the task Of re
storing the shattered world and | fail
TO see what can be done unless America
comes frankly with us to take up her fair
share"
Mr.. Lloyd George defended the delay
in making peace with Turkey on the
ground of the necessity to know what the
United States intended to do France
and Great Britain. he de Jared already
had heavy burdens. while the United
States was under no great extraneous
burdens and had her gigantic resources
Loses Patience with Us.
1t would have led to misunderstanding
and suspicious, Mr.. Lloyd George said
had We not awaited Americas decision
We are now entitled to say that we
have waited up to the very minute wa
promised America and there is not pros
pect of America coming in.
