me territorial terms Of the treaty, Mr..
LLOYD George said the territory taken
from Germany was a matter Of restora-
non. 1t was a restoration Of Alsace--
Lorraine, lie said, taken forclbly from
the land to which the population was
deeply attached; 1t was a restoration
OF Schleswig Holstein, the taking of
whioh he describes as the "meanest
OF Hohenzollern frauds, robbing a help
less country in the p%retence they were
not doing ii and then retaining the land
against the wishes Of the population"
a restoration of "a Poland torn TO bits
by Russian, Austrian and PTussian au-
tocracy and now reknit under the flag
OF Poland and he added they are
all territories which ought not to be-
long to Germany"
Restrict Polish Rule.
The British delegation, the premier
SAID. has taken a stand resolutely OPP
posing any attempt to put a predomi-
nantly German population under Polish
rule as II would be foolish to have
another Alsace-Lorraine in Europe.

cussing the r"eparation clauses, unless
they believe justice In the war on the

and the part the natives have taken in

premier, to reconsider at the proper
