Lloyd George is busy giving out IN

more closely by France than ever be-
fore-which may be true-and also
that there has been practical agree

without a single basis in fact.
France Refuses to Concede More.
Mr.. wilson's decision to send for

the final crisis. 1t finds the French
government regretting that the break

essential security of France. financial

evil consequences of Mr.. Wilson's 8
withdrawal rather than yield further:
Mr.. Wilson's gesture finds Lloyd
a tremendous outburst. in the press
and among public men to whom he
owes his past success and his present
strength, against his desertion OF
France and subservience OF the Brit

and Tloyd George Enthusiastically is ex-
ecuting one more of those famous
shifts familiar in his political his
tory. He has abandoned Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Wilson knows it, He has
prepared the way to line up with
France again. and the French are not
unconscious of it.
It would be difhcult to say on ex-
actiy what lines the impending break
will come. No question before the
peace conference has been defnitely
settled. A thousand preliminary
agreements have been made and re-

able collapse of the Wilson legend
in France.
We are, then, within two steps OF
complete shipwreck of the conference
Of peace. The understanding between
the English and the Americans here
was the foundation Of the formulation
of the league of nations covenant.
President Wilson's idea. translated
into a phrase by the British represen-
tatives. was desire for the combi-
nation between the United states ana
Great Britain. More and more TINS
policy led Great Britain into conflict
with France. and more and more 1t
created the conviction, both in France
and in England, that the British were
deserting their French friends. So
strong did this conviction become In
England that within ten days there
has been a positive revolution In the
British press and in British public
expression. Before this storm Mr.
LLOYD George has bowed. Ten days
ago he was threatening French jour-
nalists with the removal OF the con-
ference from Paris if they continued
their criticism; now he is having
them to breakfast and giving them
interviews explaining British devo-
ton to French security. I do not be-
lieye there is the slightest basis for
saving that the British public or Brit
ish press ever contemplated deserting
France. but it has needed exactly
this reaction to demonstrate fact
obscured by political maneuvers in
recent weeks.
