Asks No Pledge Release.

The premier said he had not come
to the house of commons to ask re-
lease Of any pledge he had given.
IT am here to say that every pledge
demands put forward by the allies"
he asserted I'VE stand by them be-
cause we believe they are just We
want a peace that is just, not vim
cause the occasion demands il, but IL
must be designed not to crafty ven
geance, but to vindicate justice.
''Every clause and every term in the
conditions must be justified. Above
all, we want to protect the future
against a repetition of the horrors
of this war.
The premier said he was going back
to Paris il the house wanted him TO
go. Whoever went he declared, must
have the full confidence of the parlia-
ment and carry out his pledges to the
utmost of his power and conviction
The premier sharply criticised GER
tain newspaper attacks that had been
made In connection with the peace
conference. saying.
When this kind of a disease is car
ried to the point of sowing dissension
betw cen great allies whose unity is
essential for the peace of the world.
when an attempt Is made to make
France distrust Great Britain. France
to hate America. and America to dis
like France and Italy, not even that
kind of a disease is justification for
SO black a crime against humanity.
Early in his address the premier said
his first impulse when he returned to
England from France was to await
the much advertised criticisms of him,
but Inquiries had shown that these
were not forthcoming. The reason
assigned was, he was told, that he
must not expect criticism until the
house was informed what the peace
delegates were doing.
RI bA ho v.<k ha
thought that, in such quarters. facts
would be regarded as the slightest
basis for criticism, but he was fully
aware there was d great deal of i'm
patience in the world, and he proposed
to address himself TO the real. sincere.
honest impatience which was felt in
all lands.
In his review of the difficulties con-
fronting the peace conference from
the many complex problems before
IT. the premier pointed out that the
boundaries of fourteen countries had
to be recast. This, he said. would give
some idea of the purely territorial
difficulties. But. he added. there Were
problems affecting the peace of the
world and the destiny of the human
race, and if there were blunders made
humanity would have TO pay for
them.
In giving list of the problems the
premier concluded with the subject
of indemnjties. His mention of this
brought cheers from the members of
the house who had sent him the tele- =
gram urging that Germany be made
TO pay in full for the war. The pre-
mier took up the challenge, saying in
referring TO this problem:
THAT is not an easy one. not even

they will not sign such stipulations as

valley by the French with eventual
plebiscite and the strangling of her
military force. are not taken seriously
in Paris. Rather are they considered
bluffs, and, as a result, the allies have
not been deferred in the least from
ments for Germany which will fall
within the stipulations of President
Wilson.
If the present socialist government
is not to bring on further conflict with
outside powers, If 1t Is not to find it's
powers materially curtailed through
subsequent firm actions on the part of
the allies, this government Will IN
struct it's delegates to sign after the
terms of peace have been laid before
them. If, however. the present socialist
regime should decide not to sign and
say in effect to the allies, well, what
are you going to do about it?' the al
lies will soon demonstrate to the Ger
mans that there can be no delays.
Elaborate plans, military maps and
supply arrangements have been made
by the supreme war council and Mar
shall Foch for military occupation or
Germany. Germany's sources or Gus
toms would Immediately be placed in
allied hands, her larger cities and
towns would fall under the control Of
allied armies. No attempt ever would
be made to crush Germany. but the
allies themselves would collect the
reparations demanded and after oc-
cupation of Germany by large allied
forces, they, if they were impudent.
might say in turn. We'll, what are
you going to do about it?'
But the allies are not wishing for
or counting on trouble; they do not
wish to set about on a task which
complete. They sincerely hope and
expect that the German government
will sign the terms imposed and
then set about to meet them In the
best fashion they can without dis
turbance to Germany. The reason for
this is plainly manifest when it is
stated that France. Italy and Belgium
are dependent upon free-howing
reparationS il their own extremely
chaotic conditions are rectified and
peace and prosperity as we'll as
normal economic conditions restored
within short space OF time.
Just as the Germans showed trick
cry during the course of the war,
just as they have attempted to frus-
trate the allies in fulfilling the terms
of the armistice. just so are they ex-
pected to attempt the same methods
after they have afixed their sigma
lures to the peace pact. II they can
scale down the amount OF reparations
IL they can materially curtail other
exactions. they will so so.
If Germany persists In efforts to
interpret the provisions of the peace
pact according to German ideas Of
responsibility in the present war.
then Germany faces the same alter
native that she will face in case she
should refuse TO sign.
The allies are not in the mood to
temporize with Germany now or later
They will give Germany what they
consider square dear' along the
lines of President Wilson's fourteen
points, but Germany must abide by
decisions reached. Germany will be

more Apparent Than Real"

''On the face of things. and with an
influx OF unframed personnel" said
the general, there have been many
injustices since the beginning of the
present emergency. but these injus-
tices have been far more apparent
than real"
The experiences of war. however.
have brought up certain points that
need to be corrected. he added. and
these can be corrected, most of them,
by executive action.
Gen. Chamberlain said he thinks
the reviewing authorities should
never return a case for revision up
ward. He thinks the trial Judge ad-
vocate in a general court-mar:ial
should never be a member of the
stan of the authorities appointing
tiaI power of limiting .punishments
should not be restricted to time of
peace.
He thinks it "desirab BILE" in impor-
tant cases to have legally trained
officer as an adviser to the court. but
that this is often not practical. nor is
| it even necessary if the commanding
officer exercises the proper care in the
selection of the president of the court
and of the trial judge advocate. Nor
would inexperienced second lieuten-
ants ever be assigned as counsel for
| the accused if the spirit of the exist
| ing regulations be carried out prop
eriy.
Disapproves Final Court.
Gen. Chamberlain for disciplinary
reasons entirely disapproved of the
proposition to establish a final court
of review. He said he considered the
judgment of an experienced command
ing officer of division or department
as of greater value than that of the
members of such a court. however bril-
111y ,1I,%
ciSion in matters affecting discipline
should be in the hands of those who
are responsible for that discipline, he
emphasized. He also said he thought
the powers of special courts-martial
should be broadened so that they could
inflict, for instance, punishments up to
! two years confinement and thus re-
duce the number of general courts
Gen. Chamberlain explained that
the inspector generals department
has no supervision over or, as such,
direct connection with courts martial
the Investigations conducted by mem
bers OF that department being usually
preliminary to the bringing of
charges.
"Do Not Bring Charges"
I'VE do not bring charges" he ex-
due scrutiny, that a case be referred
to the judge advocate generals de-
partment for the bringing of
charges.
Any complaint made to the War
Department, whether from a member
of Congress or from a plain citizen
over a signature, or even anonymous
is invariably investigated by the in
spector generals department. even if
a transcontinental trip be involved,
said Gen. Chamberlain.
All complaints over signature are
at once acknowledged. he told the
committee.

The delegates. said Mr.. Lloyd
George, had never forgotten what
France had gone through and they
had not forgotten to what she was
entitled-not merely security against
a repetition of the German attack, but
to feel a sense of security againstEit.
The conference had come to a unani-
nous conclusion on all the questions
before it, including a decision that
to publish 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 of the enemy.
Mr.. Lloyd George denied that he was
trying to escape the declarations he
made during the general election cam
paign. The declaration regarding
making Germany pay, he declared,
had been concurred in by all the
party leaders.

among the warning nations not by
recognizing one party, but by induc-
ing them TO come together with a
view no setting up some authority in
Russia which would be acceptable to
the whole Russian people and that
the allies could recognize as their

he said, of a solution being found.
After declaring that reliable infor-
nation showed that although the
bolshevik armed force was apparent
ly growing "bolshevism itself was
gradually waning. and breaking
down before the relentless force of

that when bolshevism disappeared

warned. because we are dealing

tion IN Russia would be an act of the
greatest stupidity" he declared.
The premier said he might be asked
why he supported Admiral kolcha
and Gen. Denikine. He would tell the
house frankly. he said. When the
treaty of -Litovsk was signed,
he explained, large parts OF Russia
had no hand in the shameful act and
were In revolt against the govern
ment which signed it.
scRaised Arms at Our Expense"
They raised arms at our instiga-

added. but that was absolutely
sound military policy, because with
out those organizations the Germans
would have secured all the resources
which would have enabled them to
break the blockade.

force of arms it's domination over
those populations which had revolted
against il and it would have been an
act thoroughly unworthy of any
great land to say to these populations.
We are exceedingly obliged to you;
you have served your purpose and we
need YOU no longer and have left
them to the bolshevik troops. II is
our duty, since we asked them to take
this STEP. to promise them support.
We are not sending troops, because
every RUSSIAN thought that if Russia
were to be redeened she must be re-
deemed by her own sons, and they
asked that they be supplied with the
necessary arms.

No Overtures Received.

In answering a question propounded
by John r. Clynes, labor leader.
whether approaches for peace had
come from Russia, the premier said:
I'VE have had no approa ches of any
sort or kind. None has been put be-
fore the conference l have only
heard reports that others have pro-
posals which they assume come from
, authentic quarters.

Not a Departure.

The premier said he did not con-
sider that this was a departure from
the fundament al policy of Great Brit
ain of not interfering in the internal
affairs of any land. He continued:
Our policy is to arrest the flood
of the present forcibe eruption
of bolshevfsm into allied lands, and
for that reas son We are organizing all
the forces in allied countries border
ing on Russian territory from the
Black sea to the Baltic. If the boil

our business to defend them.
