Most Fatal Error Is
That Of Expansion
Lloyd George Warns Little Nations
Against Leaning Out Into The
Future Too Far.

New York, March "A word of
warning to little nations against en-
ulating the faults of the greater
powers in their desire for territorial
expansion was spoken by Lloyd
George last night in his address at the
Welsh banquet.
IT do not know whether this is the
proper occasion on which 10 utter ii
word of caution to little nations said
the Premier. Il do SO genuine
friend to them. Now that they have
achieved success, great success, daz-
cling success, almost binding sue
cess, there is great danger OF theif
emulating the faults of great coun-
tries -ys. s-g ~-.s.s.
There is a tendency TO expand be-
yond the limits of their race. to an
mex territories not their own. The
spirit of expansion is beginning TO
possess them 1t is the most fatal
error that any people, great or small,
can possibly make. Their strength
of today and their strength OF all time
is in securing the liberty of their own
race.
after all, the influence of race
on the world in the past. as history
shows, has never depended on its
numbers of the size Of its countries
The races that have made the deepes
mark on the history Of the world hap,
been small and il the little nations
of Europe imagine that they are go

The premier drew a comparison
between 2ohemit and Wales. citing
the resurrection OF the Czecho Slovak
nation as a parallel to what had hap

to do was To educate.
They set up system of national edu-
cation which lifted the nation TO
position where 1t could claim equality.
They did not claim equality until
they were equal to the Germans. That
was n generation ago. Now IT is one

Action Of Congress
Impels President
to Issue Statement

Washington, March A.--Presidept
Wilson left the capitol this afternoon,
en- route,to France, highly tncensed at
the law-n.aking branch of the govern
ment, which he considered had DELHI
erately blocked needed legislation in
an effort to mbarrass him and delay
his return to Paris.
The sixty-ffth congress was adj
journed sine die just prior to his de-
parture, with more than half of ita
membership as highly indignant at
him because Of a belief that he had
exceeded his executive powers and at
tempted to force them into doing his
will.
President Wilson made no attempt
to conceal his irritation. Before ieav-
ing he issued a statement III which
he displayed it. He said;
"A group OF men in the senate have
deliberately chosen to EN- barrass the
administration OF the government, to
'imperil the financial interests of tho
railway systems of the country. and
to make arbitrary use of powers in
tended to be employed In the interests
of the people.
1T Is plainly my present duty to
attend the peace conference in Paris.
It Is also my duty TO be in close con.
tact with the public bushes during
the session OF congress.
Il must make my choice between
these two duties, and l confidently
hope that the people OF the country
will think that ! am making the right
choice.
lit is not In the interest Of the right
conduct of public affairs that l should
call the congress in special session
while ii Is impossible for me to be in
Washington, because of more press
ing duty elsewhere, to cooperate with
the houses.
Il take IL for granted that the men
who have INSTRUCTED and prevented
the passage of necessary legislation
have taken all of this into consider
alton and are willing TO assume the
responsib ility of the impaired eff
cheney of the government and the en-
barrassed finances or the country dur
Ing the time of my enfoxced absence.
The presidents statement was in
the hands OF opposing senators with
in a few minutes after it had been
issued. and brought tart and accuse
tive replies from some OF them. Sen
ator France, for instance, said:
II do not believe that the American
people ever condemn men who have
the courage to do their duty as they
SEQ tt. believe II is apparent TO the
whole @naticn that the interests OF the
country demand that congress be i'm
session in order to deal with the press
ing reconstruction problems which are
upon us and which have not as Yet
received that careful consideration
which would have resulted in con-
structtve action. Under the theory of
our government. with its equal and
independent coordinate branches,
believe that congress should be and
could be solving these reconstruction
problems during the presidents abb
