London, Nov. 0.
Historic Guildhall again was the
scene OF a notable political statement
inaugural banquet OF the Lord Mayor
OF London this evening. Premier Lloyd
George painted @ broad picture Of the
world as it is to-day. The eruptions
are over. he declared, and the lava is
cooling, although at some points there
still are signs of it boiling-in Russia.
| In Germany, in British, industry and in
Ireland
These were the points upon which
| ne touched:
| 1. An understanding must he recstao-
lished between eastern and western Eu-
rope. because after Dolsllevisn there ia
| nothing for Russia save anarchy.
=. Relations with Germany have been
reestablished. the most important points
| IN the disarmament question and the
German navy have disappeared, while
Ger many is approaching the prescribed
| 100000 armed troops. There are still
too many rifles in Germany. but they
arc menacing Germany's rather than her
neighbors' peace.
g. Peace at home is in sight, follow
ing the settlement of the coal strike, al
though the large vote against settle
ment was indicative OF the suspicion
with which labor regards even its own
leaders. He pleaded for a middle course
in fairness toward both labor and CAPT
tai
4. lreland--perhaps the most inpor.
ant revelation made by the Premier was
that "we havc got murder by tho throat
there" Then he said. we are offering
-~elard partnership with tho Er.t.sA En-
pire In the hour Of Its greatest power
and glory"
One Year Nearer to Great Peace.
Tho Premier in beginning his speech
said: I'VE are one year fs-.her from
the great war. one year further into
what we hope will be Il great peace.
And as His Excellency. the Spanish
Ambassador, in a remarkable. sgn;f-
cant speech. said: There are per.ls s,ll
in the path OF peace, yet they are
mostly periis OF temper. but tie world,
nevertheless, is slowly. gradually set
Ting down. and after the sraar eruption
the lava is cooling. There are lands
where Il is still molten. flowing, but the
volcanoes energy is subsiding.
There are troublesome questions
still outstanding, there are troublesome

things are coming out all righ,. Wa

"Misundersta ndings between Western
and Central Europe must be removed
and the nlisunderstsndings between both
OF us and vast territories of Eastern
Europe must be removed. Tha Govern

"There are two or three outstanding
features accountable for the sense Of un-
rest and disquiet in the relations be-
tween Germany and the ALLIES. Fore
most amongst them place the question
OF disarmament. not merely because Of
its Intrinsic Importance, but becsuse II

that is not disarnied docs not mean TO
