George. prime minister, presiding
at luncheon given today in the
house of commons for the British

never achieve real progress until

Mr.. Lloyd George said he looked

he asserted. was essential.
There could be no real peace, he
declared, until competition in ar
maments ceased, and before disar-
mament was possible all the ma

Mr.. Lloyd George asserted that il

been impossible. He was sanguine
there would be no obstacle in Ger

and behind closed doors; it must be
done in such way that everyone
knew, so that the agreement, once
arrived at, would be respected.
