British Leader Says Complete
Understanding on Peace Ex-
lists Between Allies.
INDEMNITY NOT EASY
Deprecates Attempt to Sow Dissension
Among Peace Deegates-BoIshe-
Wiki Breaking Down-Pays
Tribute to Wilson.

London, April l7.-Premier Lloyd
George, addressing the house of COM
mons, declared there was a complete
understanding between the Allies on
the fundamental questions of peace,
but that the situation was still full
of perils for all countries" He plead
ed that those who are trying to do
their best be let alone"
1T is not true that the United States
and Europe have been at variance"
the premier declared He deprecated
attempts to SOW dissension among the
delegates.
Premier Praises Wilson.
No one could have treated more
sympathetiCally the peculiar problems
and special susceptibilities of Europe
than President Wilson, he continued
The time devoted to the League of
Nations, he said, had not been wasted
but saved, as the league provided ma
chinery capable of adjusting and cor.
recting possible mistakes.
Intervention Called Stupidity"
Military Intervention in Russia, he
declared, would be the greatest act
of stupidity" The question of recog-
nizing Russia, he said, had never been
proposed or discussed Bolshevism,
though apparently growing, was back
Ing down, he asserted, before the re-
lentless force of economic facts
Il would rather leave Russia bolshe-
vik until they seek their way out of it
than see Great Britain landed in bank
ruptcy," was one of the premier's
statements.
Lloyd George declared the indemnity
would be no easy one" but added that
the Allies had agreed not to publish
the peace terms until they had been
discussed.
Every one of my election pledges
is incorporated in the Allies demand, %
he said
The Allies had formulated their de,
mands and he hoped that by the end
OF next week they would be presented.
Greatest Problem in History"
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 IL 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.
The conference had to shorten its
labors, continued the premier, because,
while it 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 conferees, he az.
serted, and he doubted whether any
body of men ever worked under great.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, Feb. 11-Commenting upon
the interview by Premier Clemcnceau,
which occupied the place of honor in
all the Paris newspapers, Alfred Ca
pus in the Figaro says: with its Wig
orous and hardy pessimism, it is an act
of ardent patriotism. 1t is just
the plain language which it is fitting
to talk to France and her allies at
the present moment. France should
be made to recall that her enemy
wished for fifty years to cripple her
and has not given up that design. The
allies must be told that the victory
bought with so much blood and sacri-
flee will remain a precarious one if
they do not know how to complete it.
Finally, Germany must be shown that
she can no longer deceive us and that
it is our firm intention to make peace,
also, to the finish Premier Clemen-
ceau has never been more lucid or
stronger than in these declarations,
which will have considerable effect"
The question of moving the peace
conference from Paris to a neutral
country may be considered by the con-
ference if what is characterized as the
obstructive policy of the French press
and certain French officials continues,
it developed today. Representatives Of
various other powers taking part in
the peace conference, it is declared,
believe that the work of the body is
being greatly hampered through un-
friendly criticism by the French press
Of various leaders in the conference.
During the war there was seldom
any difficulty, despite the serious
handicap of the censorship, in getting
through new matter from France in
reasonable time. and in plentiful vol
ume, largely over the direct French
cable line. Since the delegates began
assembling for the peace monference,
however, and especially since the con-
ference started, the communication
with France has been of the most un-
certain sort. Virtually no news has
been received over the French cable
line, the best and quickest means of
communication, since the conference
began. All the cable and wireless SER
vices have been greatly congested, but
the chief difficulty has been that al
though the French cable was nominal
ly i'm service there has been complete
inability to transmit news matter over
it, and that all the cable cOmmunica-
ton for weeks past has been by
roundabout routes.
