Are Not at Variance Over
Peace Terms.
WORLD STILL FACING PERILS
Pleads With Commons to Let Alone
Those Who Are Trying to Do
Their Best" - Work on
League Saved Time.

London, April 18.-"We do not
despair of the Russian situation" de-
clared Premier Lloyd George in adj
dressing parliament. Although the
bolshevik forces are growing, bolshe-
vism is waning. We are supplying
the countries bordering Russia with
means of resisting the invasion of
bolshevism."
The allied representatives in Paris
have arrived at a complete under
standing on the great fundamental
questions that would affect peace with
Germany, he declared. The allies had
formulated their demands, and he
hoped that by the end Of next week
they would be presented.
Replying in the house of commons
to previous criticisms of his activities
at the peace conference in Paris, Pre-
mier Lloyd George said the situation
was ''still full of perils for all coun-
tries" He pleaded that those who
were trying to do their best be let
Alone"
No conference in history, said the
premier, had been faced with problems
of such variety, completely, magnitude
and gravity. The congress of Vienna,
which was the nearest approach to it,
took II months for its work, but that
congress, Mr.. Lloyd George pointed
out, sank into insignifcance as COM
pared with what had been settled by
this conference.
The time spent by the peace confer
ence in framing the league of nations
plan saved time instead of wasting it,
Lloyd George declared, as the league
would provide a means of adjustment
of possible errors.
II would rather leave Russia boil
shevik until they see their way out
of it rather than see Great Britain
landed in bankruptcy" Yves one of the
premier's declarations.
''It is not true that the United States
and Europe have been at variance, F"
the premier declared. He deprecated
attempts to SOW dissensions among the
delegates.
Lloyd George said that it was his
earnest conviction that military inter
vention in Russia would be the great
est act of stupidity. The premier said
reliable information showed that while
the bolshevik force was apparently
growing bolshevism itself was gradu-
ally waning breaking down before
the relentless forces of economic facts.
In reference to the league of ma
tons deliberations, Mr.. Lloyd George
said the conference might have taken
more time but for the fact that it was
setting up machinery capaple $sof
readjusting and correcting possible
mistakes:
And that is why the league of ma
lions, instead of wasting time, saved
time," he added.
The conference had to shorten it's
labors, continued the premier, because
while it was trying to build, in many
lands the foundation Of society was
tumbling into the dust. No body Of
men worked harder or in better har-
asserted, and he doubted whether any
body of men ever worked under great
err difficulties.
Stones were gathering on the roof
and wild men were screaming through
the keyhole while the enormous is
sues depended upon them which re-
quired calm deliberation," the premier
said
He asked for the opportunity
for such deliberations for the rest of
the journey, which was not at an end.
