London, April 16 (by the Associated
Press NO intervention in Russia;
no recognition of Bolshevism, and the
fuIfillment of his election promises,
including those relating to indemnity
from the enemy powers and punish
ment of the former German emperor,
We're the outstanding features of the
report which Premier Lloyd George
delivered in the house of commons
today
Every member was in his seat and
the galleries were packed with DIS
tinguished visitors, among them the
Prince of Wales and the American
ambassador, John w. Davis when the
premier entered the chamber, with
the cheers of the great crowds out
side the parliament grounds still ring
ing in his ears. He appeared fresh
and in buoyant spirits.
In the man, though. the mood of
the premier was serious, in conform :
ity with the weighty subjects discuss
ed, and the--aaaience listened with
profound attention to his speech,
which lasted for almost an hour and
a half
The laborites vigorously applaud
ed the premier's announcement of
non-intervention in Russia and nom
recognition of Bolshevism, but re-
: r--nined silent while the conservatives
cheered the statement that the allies
would continue to aid friendly ele-
lnents which We're ughung bolsLe-
Vism.
At the conclusion of the premier 5
speech, when members and those in
the galleries were pouring out in
quest of belated luncheons, William
Adamson leader of the labor Oppo-
sition in the house. rose and chaTac-
terized the speech of the prime min
lister as eloquent, but not entirely sat

ments among the public, whom the
newspapers for the last few days have
prepared for Illuminating revelations
in the speech concerning the peace
terms formulated
The premier made a vigorous at
tack upon those who had attempted
to SOW dssension, distrust and suspi-
cion," between the nations whose
cordially and good will toward each
other was essential He could not
conceive of worse crime, he declared
at a time when nothing could save
the world but keeping the nations to-
gether.
No Disagreement With U. s.
"It is not true that the United States
and Europe have been at variance,
Mr. Lloyd George declared, adding
that no one could have treated more
sympathetically the peculiar prob
lens susceptihilities of Europe than
President Wilson. The premier de-
precated attempts to create dissen-
sions among the delegates.
The delegates, said Mr.. Lloyd
George had never forgotten what
France had gone through and they
had not forgotten to what she was en-
titled, not merely security against a
repetition of German attack, but to
feel a sense of security against 1t. The
conference ha dcome to a unanimous
conclusion on all the questions before
it. including a decision that to pub
lish the peace terms before they were
discussed with the enemy would be a
first class blunder. Their premature
publication, he contended, could only
serve to encourage the resistance oil
the enemy.
Mr.. Lloyd George denied that he
was trying to escape the declaration
he made during the general election

making Germany pay, he declared
had teen concurred in by all the party
leaders.
The premier said he had not come
