Paris. April C.-The preliminary
peace treaty will be ready by Easter
and the Germans will be asked to
come and sign at the end of April or
| the beginning of May. Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain declared in
Ian interview today with the Matin.
In answer to a remark by the cor
respondent that what troubled pub
he opinion was not SO much the delay
as the secrecy in which the peace ne
so.iations were wrapped and the fear
that there was some divergence of
opinion the British premier said:
Il affirm absolutely that there is
no divergence among the negotia-
tors. They are often confronted with
technical difficulties which can only
he settled after close study. Take the
question of reparations. In substance
the Allies have one common princi-
pie which ! once set forth thus:
Germany must pay up to the last
larthing of her power
But. is it sufficient to draw up
bill and hand it to the enemy? Must
we not require guarantees and must
We not study the terms. methods and
forms of delayed payments? Must We
not be able to say to our adversary
when he pleads inadequacy of re-
source: Yes. you can go as far as
that and you must do it and you must
do that In a word, shall we SIM
ply present n bill or collect the money.
all the money possible? Well. that
is where the work comes in, slow
and difficult work complicated by the
fact that technical experts of the
highest. capability and greatest ex-
perience are not in argument among
themselves either as to the method of
liquidation or as to the assets to be
realized.
"No, there is no divergence among
The negotiators, but. alas the capable
ones among the experts. often among
those from the same country.
