Premier Lloyd George declar-
ed IN addressing the house Of
, commons today. The allies had
formulated their demands, and
he hoped that by the end Of
next week they would be pre-
scented.
The premier made a vigor-
GUS attack upon those who had
attempted to SOW dissension,
distrust and suspicion between
the nations whose cordially
and good will toward each
other was essential Ell

crime, he declared, at a time
when nothing could save the
world but Keeping the nations
together.
at Is not true that the unitec
States and Europe have been al

adding that no one could have treat
ed more sympathetically the peculiar
problems and special susceptibility OIL
Europe than President Wilson. The
delegates had never forgotten what
France had gone through and they
had not forgotten to what she was en-
&itled, not merely security against Z
repetition of German attack, but Il
feel a sense of security against it. The
conference had come to a unanimous
conclusion on all the points before It
including a decision that to publish
the peace terms before they we're dis
cussed with the enemy would be q
first class blunder. Their premature
publication, he contended, could only
serve to encourage the resistance Of

heard of before the war nearly pro
duced a conflict between two Of the
allied delegates, Mr.. Lloyd George
continued, and there were a number
of such questions. But, he added,
after all it was quarrels owe small
states which had made the great war.
He spoke Of the difficulties in the Bal

One OF the features Of the present
situation, owing to the breaking up OF
the central empires, is that Central
Europe has been Balkanized ntO
small states. Care must be taken lest
causes OF future unrest be created by
the settlement made
The question of Russia was one Of
the most complex problems ever dealt
with by any body of men, Mr.. Lloyd
George pointed out. One difficulty
was that there was no Russia.
There is an organization control
ling Central Russia, but there Is mo-
body who can say it is even a de factoI
government for the whole of Russia,
he declared Even If we could under
the circumstances recognize the Boil
shcyiki government, we can not rec
1gnize it as the de facto government

which is still in eruption and the best

ghose dwelling on its remotest and
most accessible slopes, and arrest the
flow of lava so that 1t shall not
scorch other lands.g
