LLOYD GEORGE
 RESENTS RUMOR
 OF LOST TIME
Conference Proceeding With All Possible Dispatch and Treaty Will Be Ready for German Signature On Easter
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ


 PARIS, April 6.-The preliminary peace treaty will be ready by Easter and the Germans will be asked to come and sign it at the end of April or the beginning of May Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain declared in an interview today with Stephane Lau- game, editor of the Matin.
 In answer to remark by Mir. Lau- zanne that what troubled public opin- ion was not so much the delay, as the secrecy in which the peace negotiations were wrapped and the fear that there was some divergence of opinion, the British premier said;
 q affirm absolutely that there is no divergence among the negotiators. They are often confronted with tech nical difficulties which can only be set tied after close study. Take the ques- tion of separations. In substance the allies have one common principle, which l once set forth thus:
 Germany must pay up to the last farthing of her power.'
 But it is sufficient to draw up bill and hand it to the enemy? Must we not require guarantees and must we not study the terms, methods and forms of delayed payments? Must we not be
 
 pleads inadequacy of resources; Yes you can go as far as that and you must do it and you must do that. Tn a word shall we simply present bill or collect all the money possible? Well, that is where the work comes in, slow and diff ficult work complicated by the fact that technical experts of the highest capa- bilities and great experience are not in agreement among themselves either as to the method of liquidation or as to the assets to be realized
 ''No there is no divergence among the negotiators-but, alas, there are in- evitable ones among the experts often among those from the same country. Who is to decide between them if not the negotators and do you think it can always be done quickly?"
 M. Lauzanne remarked that what public opinion could not understand was, why Germany was not handed a full bill, no matter what amount and forced to admit full liability.
 And who says-we shall not do so?" cried Premier Lloyd George. ''Who says we have not decided that?"
 No one," the interViewers inter- rupted, has said that you have decid- ed it."
 The British premier resumed:
 Cannot the people wait until we have finished our work instead of al ways wanting to judge our intentions This conference had to meet and dis cuss things under conditions uprece- dented in history. All eyes are turned toward it and, what is more grave, all ears are glued at it's keyhole. Enemy ears tremble with joy when they de- tect some hesitation. Friendly ears half hear confused rumors which are peddled far and quickly.
 The day does not pass but what some false news here and there takes its flight Nevertheless no day passes but that we in silent deliberation feel we are approaching nearer the great aims and experience for each other more esteem, confidence and affection. Let public opinion wait a few days. It will then be able to pronounce on facts, not rumors."

Paris Feels Better

PARIS. April 6.-(By The Associated Press)-The confident statement of Premier Lloyd George that the peace treaty will be concluded by Easter is supported by predictions repeatedly made by less prominent members of the peace conference and dispelled today much of the hopelessness and uncer- tainty in which many important prob lens of the conference seems to have been enshrOuded.
 Even the announcements of serious bolshevik troubles in Bavaria and the danger of break with Italy appar- ently did not affect the optimism today of the leaders of the British, French and American delegations.
 All Paris seems imbued today with the idea that Easter will find the con- ference ended either successfully or un- successfully and many newspapers and leaders who have been doubtful about the successful outcome are apparently less gloomy about the prospect.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-Under- standing by the western world of Ja- pans aims in the orient would dissi- pate the distrust felt in some quarters against that nation. said Kotaro Mo chiZuki member of tEa Japanese par lament and editor of the Japanese FiHa1cial ard FG,;nemic Mnnthly of Tohio, in a statement today to the Associated Press. Misunderstanding now is causing nucl agitation against Japan, he said
 Mir Glochizuki is considered an eX- pert or economic .iue st:ons in Eis C.vn country. He has L.en the avowed opponent of the present Japanesa cab- met ard it's predecessor. He lett S;ln Frant laco tonigh- ol Washington, New York and Oidei eastern citjes en rouf" for Paris and London to study world conditions that he may return to Japan for the forty first session of the Japanese diet next autumn.
 MT. Mochizuki is an enemy of secret diplomacy he stated, and favors the open diplomacy America has de- manded.
 The olden secrecy bred suspicion, distrust and hatred he asid.
 'Duelicity was it's keynote. Japan took its lessons in that school but I once warned our nation against this out date diplomacy.
 With such out-of-date diplomacy Japan will be left behind in the world progress and will be placed in either of the following condiuons:
 Japan will be internationally iso- lated, or she will at least become the object of international distrust.
 That is why. knowing Japans aims ars just, 1 favor open diplomacy to clear up misunderstanding concerning my country
 No Nefarious Aims
 Japan's aims in the Orient were out lined by MT Mochizuki's statement as being for the good of that country as well as for Japan. He said:
 Japan annexed Korea ten years ago. Some time in the future-no one can at present forecast the exact time. Korea will be allowed self-gov- ernment. The Korean and Manchuriaa situation was the cause of two wars with Japan. It brought about the Chi nese-Jap panese war and also the war with Russia. Without Korea as bull wark against other nations, Japan's safety always would be precarious.
 Both wars were necessary because China was permitting European na- tions to menace Japan economically and Russia actually was menacing Japanese militarily. Korea was an nexed.
