Lloyd George
Sees Many Perils
In Path of Peace
Pleads the With House of Commons
to Allow the Leaders to Continue
Their Work Unhampered.
(By United Press)

London, April 16--British Premier
Lloyd George won the members of
Parliament to the cause Of the Confer
ence by an eloquent appeal made today
before the two houses in which he out
lined the position held by the leaders
of the peace meet. In speaking of Rus
STA the Premier declared that :" the in
ternational condition in Russia did not
justify a defensive military enter
prise. = 1T would rather he continu-
ed, .'leave Russia to the Bolshevists
until | see way out than to have
Britain bankrupt. 1t is my earnest
conviction that intervention there is
the greatest act of stupidity" Pre-
mier George pointed out that Russia
would be most difficult to conquer. He
showed that the Conference in it's weeks
of work had brought peace much nearer
and plead for a patient hearing of its
cause. Everyone of my election
pledges are incorporated in the Allies ;
demands, he said The Premier's adj
dress gradually brought reserve house
into a responsive and demonstrative
mood. Many of the members left after
Lloyd George ceased speaking only a
few remaining to hear the response of
Labor Leader William Adamson who
declared that the labor element
wished more details.

(By Associated Press)

London, April Is - No one could
have handled European problems more
sympathetically or more automatically
than President Wilson has and the
European powers have never at any
time been at variance with the United
States in the negotiations framing the
terms of peace to be submitted to
Germany" This statement featured
an address made by Lloyd George to-
day in the British House of Commons.
The English premier denounced "those
persons who have attempted to saw
discord and sedition among the Allies
and who have tried to arouse antagon-
ism between the delegates from Europe
and the delegates from the United
States. He insisted that the publica-
tion of the terms of peace before their
submission to the German ENJOYS would
be most serious blunder and declared
that the delegates were under oath to
keep the terms of the treaty secret
until after they had been made known
to the representatives of the Central
Powers.
