Lloyd George Rc.Enforccs Hope

EE British Prime Minister. called from
the peace conference to meet domestic
opposition and hostile criticism on the part
of a large element OF the British people, has
given to that nation and to the world the
most reassurng account OF the proceedings
in Paris that any statesman has given utter
ance to. Ho has cleared the whole peace
atmosphere, and while he did not devote
himself to specifications. he enlightened
every anxious country upon the prospects for
peace, harmony and n return Of the earth to
its normal setting
1t is far too soon to know whether or not
he has triumphed over his foes at home;
whether or not he has silenced the critics
who have snarled ut him for weeks or whether
or not he soon will be released to return to
Paris for the final consummation. But it is
not too soon for his friends and admirers
among the associated nations to give him
genuine round OF applause. 1t is no. too
soon for the millions OF men and women
from end to end of the earth who have been
oppressed by gloom, and all but overcome by
the ominous clouds that lowered above them
to turn to this bold and brave man with Il
feeling Of gratitude.
Lloyd George has told the world that the
allied commissioners are now in agreement
upon the fundamentals Of the peace which
they have undertaken to make. He has as
serted that common ground has been found
upon which all may stand, and he has de-
clared that there is no deadlock behind the
scenes in Paris and no shadow OF irreconcil-
able differences between the men who are
assembled there to remake the map of con-
tnents. II there is to be further war he
insists It will not be the result of allied
dissension.
This statement OF the case must be ac-
ceptcd 1T full face value. 1t would be official
suicide on the part Of the British Premier.
at this stage to dissemble. He dare not
engage in mere camoufiage He dare not be
the means Of misleading his people at such
a time. To do so, with the truth to the
contrary about to come out, would mean that
his ministry would be swept into the discard
by resentful nation. He would suffer
merited dshonor, Notwithstanding his splen-
did achievement in guiding the British ma
ton to victory.
incidentally, this speech leaves the hostile
observers OF peace conference proceedings far
out on a limb. They have been exhausting
themselves and their vocabnlaries in parad-
ing disaster They have been pronouncing
obituaries on the whole business They have
laid away the league OF nations with funeral
comment. They have pictured the President
withdrawing from the council; the Italians
and the Japs retiring under orders; Lloyd
enceau smashing the whole set program with
a ruthless hand. Perhaps these critics now
will see the advantage OF changing their tune.
