BALANCE OF POWER
British Premier In Unique PO-
SitiOn Between French And
Americans.
By Lowell Mellett

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, April 10. r Premier Lloyd
George, according to general belief, to-
day occupies the unique position Of
holding the "bslanee Of power" in the
peace conference.
American delegates, clinging to the
fourteen points and the armistice terms,
have elashed more frequently with the
interests Of France and Italy than those
of any other power, it was pointed out.
Lloyd.George's Is policy throughout the
peace deliberations has been based
largely on a determination to win Amer
iea's permanent friendship no matter
what else happens, many OF ms friends
declare. As a result when the recent
"crisis" " developed, the British premier
is said to have thrown his support un.
stintedly to President Wilson, making
possible the remarkable progress Of the
last two days.
Lloyd-George is now setween two
fires While striving to maintain the
present pace by agreeing to necessary
compromises and bringing his Influence
to bear on his French and Italian col
leagues, the British premier must bear
in mind his election pledges and the
now apparent determination Of the con
seryative parliament is to hold him tc
his promise.
