COMMONS PASSES
TREATYUNAMENDED
!
ANGLO /. FRENCH CONVENTION
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.
IRISH PROTEST FAILS.
LLOYD GEORGE MAKES TALK
Declares Treaty is Lighthouse in the
Deep" and Warning to Nations.
Considered In Committee
Of the Whole.

London. AT what was virtually an
all-night session, the house Of commons
completed its consideration of both the
German peace treaty and the Anglo
French convention
The bill carrying approval OF the
German treaty was considered in
committee of the whole, exciting
lengthy debate, in which Premier
Lloyd George took an active part.
The bill was then placed before the
house and passed its third reading,
after motion by John Deylin to re-
ject it as protest against che prem
ier's attitude toward Ireland had been
defeated by 1853 to A.
Then at a. m. the AngloFrench
pact was taken up and the bill ap-
proving it was unanimously adopted
after a short but sharp debate, in
which the argument that the treaty
was not consistent with the spirit of
the league Of nations failed to find
any substantial echo.
The German tseaty passed through
all its stages without amendment.
In concluding his speech on the
treaty Premier Lloyd George, while
making no claim of perfection for it,
expressed confidence that any defects
would be remedied by the league of
nations. Notwithstanding it's imper-
fections the premier declared the
treaty would stand as a lighthouse
in the deep and warning to nations
and rulers of nations against the peril
which the German empire shattered
itself against"
