London, Feb. l3-Premier Lloyd
George spoke again yesterday on the
general peace situation. The premier,
defending the proceedings Of the peace
conference, said the government had
been devoting its time To speeding up
agreements. He was sanguine that y
complete agreement would be reached
concerning the German western boun-
Diary, but the eastern boundary was q
different matter Until the commis-
sion sent to examine the matter re-
ported, the allies would be in no posi-
ton to make demands upon Germany.
The conference was unanimous, he
said, that Germany had forfeited all
rights TO her colonies.
He declared that there had never
been any proposal advanced at the
peace conference to recognize the Boi-
shevists Russia was easy to dogma
tie about, but difficult to deal with.
He admitted that the horrors of Boil
shevism were SO great that there was
sense OF disgust when they came TO
deal with Its leaders, but it was use
less to blind their eyes to the real
facts.
The Bolsheviki, the premier de-
clared, were assassins. guilty OF crimes
laid TO their charge. The allies had
given the anti-Bolshevist government
financial support and assistance.
Much of their equipment had been
supplied by the allies. who were anx-
s.tx <nf
Russia out of German hands.
If troops were to be sent to Russia,
who should send them? America, he
said. would send neither men, money
nor material, and the work would fall
upon the British and French.
The Bolsheviki machinery in Rus
sia was ruthless and brutal, but there
was no doubt about it's efficiency. and
it was the only machinery there
Everybody in the past who had inter-
fered in Russia had come to grief
There was no idea of recognizing the
Bolsheviki: it was quite impossible to
do so as long as they were pursuing
their present methods.
Referring to the alternative of al
lowing the fire in Russia to burn itself
out. the premier characterized this as
brutal policy. and added that it
would be useless to send food to PetrO-
grad when the only distributing organ
ization was Bolshevik. Supporting the
Prinkipo proposal. the premier argued
that it was by no means unknown on
the northern frontier of India to par
ley with brigands and even assassins.
