LLOYD GEORGE SAYS
BOLSHEv|SM DYING
Declares u. S. and Europe Are
Not a Variance.
PEACE NEAR, BUT PERIL LIVES
Asserts Work on League Saved Time
pleads With Commons to Let
Alone "Those Who Are Try
ing to Do Their Best"

London, April five do not
despair of the Russian situation" de-
clared Premier Lloyd George in ed
pressing 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 complete und"r-
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.
World Still Faces Perils.
Replying in the house of commons
tc 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, compleXity, magnitude
and gravity. The congress of Vienna,
which was the nearest approach to it.,
took II months for it's work, but that
congress, Mr.. Lloyd George pointed
out, sank into insignificance as COM
pared with what had been settled by
this conference.
Time Saved, Not Wasted.
After referring to the worldwide en-
tent of the war the premier said that
new states had sprang into existence.
some of them independent. some semi
Independent. and some that might be
protectorates. and although their
boundaries might not be defined. some
indication of them must be given.
The time spent by the peace confer
ence in framing the league Of nations
plan saved time instead of wasting 1t,
Lloyd George declared, as the league
would provide asmeans 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" was one of the
p1 enters declarations.
"It is not true that the United States
and Europe have been ut variance.
the premier declared. He deprecated
attempts to SOW discussions among the
delegates.
In answer to a question from John
r. Clyne, labor leader whether nD-
proaches for peace had come from
the Russian government. the premier
said:
1--WE have had no approaches Of envy
sort or kind. None have been put be-
fore the conference"
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 wasegradu-
the relentless forces of economic facts
Work in Harmony.
In reference to the league of ma
lions deliberations, Mr.. Lloyd George
| said the conference might have taken
more time but for the fact that it was
setting ny machinery capable o.
readjusting and correcting possible
mistakes:
"And that is WHY the league Of no.
lions, instead of wasting time, saved
time" he added.
The conference hed to shorten It's
labors, continued the premier, because
while il 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-
mony than the peace conference. he
asserted. and he doubted whether any
body of men ever worked under great
err difficulties.
"Stones were Gathering on the root
and wild men were screaming through
the keyhole while the enormous is
sues depended upon them which re
ouired 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
