ANARCHY DYING
LLOYD GEORGE
Premier Says U. S. and Europe
Are Not at Variance Over
Peace Terms.
WORLD Still. facing PERILs
Pleads With Commons to Let Alone
"Those Who Are Trying to Do
Their Best" - Work on
League Saved Time.

London, April 19-"We do not
despair of the Russian situation de-
clared Premier Lloyd George in ad-
dressing parliament. Although the
bolshevik forces are growing, bolshe-
vism is waning. We are supplying
the countries bordering Russia with
means of resisting the invasion of
bolsheyism."
The allied representatives in Paris
have arrived at a complete under
standing on the great fundamental
questions that would affect peace with
Germany, he declared. The allies had
formulated their demands, and. he
hoped that by the end of next week
they would be presented.
Replying in the house of commons
to previous criticisms of his activities
at the peace conference in Paris, Pre-
mier Lloyd George said the situation
was "still full of periIs for all coun-
tries" He pleaded that those who
were trying to do their best be let
alone"
No conference in history, said the
premier, had been faced with problems
OF such variety, cOmpleXity, magnitude
and gravity. The congress of Vienna,
which was the nearest approach to it,
took IL months for its work, but that
congress, Mr.. Lloyd George pointed
out, sank into insignificance as com
pared with what had been settled by
this conference
The time spent by the peace confer
ence in framing the league Of nations
plan saved time instead Of wasting it.
Lloyd George declared, as thei league
would provide q means of adjustment
of possible errors.
Il would rather leave Russia boil
shevik until they see their way out
of it rather than see Great Britain
landed in bankruptcy" was one Of the
premier's declarations.
1T is not true that the United States
and Europe have been at variance,
the premier declared. he deprecated
attempts to SOW dissensions among the
/ delegates.
Lloyd George said that it was his
! earnest conviction that military inter
! venton in Russia would be the great
/ est act of stupidity. The premier sail
r2l.c3ta .,G-ar.NaJ,e.. showed that while
/ llle Jo.suevik force WAS apparently
/ growing bolsheyism itself was gradu
ally waning-breaking down before
( the relentless forces Of economic facts
In reference to the league Of na
F.. tions deliberations, MI Lloyd Georg
said the conference might have takel
more time but for the fact that it wa
setting up machinery capable 0
readjusting and correcting possibI
mistakes:
And that is why the league of na
tions, instead of wasting time, save
time" he added.
The conference had to shorten it
labors, continued the premier, becaus
while it was trying to build, in man
lands the foundation of society wa
tumbling into the dust. No body G
men worked harder or in better hal
mony than the peace conference, h
asserted, and he doubted whether an
body OF men ever worked under grea
er difficulties.
Stones were gathering on the roc
and wild men were screaming thrOug
the keyhole while the enormous i!
sues depended upon them which RI
quired calm deliberation," the premie
said
He asked for the opportunit
for such deliberations for the rest {
