GREAT BRITAIN MAY "a

I,oyd-George DenOunces League A.
Time Loser. Probably VIII XIII
world Council.

What is believed to be the beginning
of the end of the League OF Nations,
occurred at San Reno. when DAVID
LLOYD George British Premier, hastiiy
summoned the French ana ltalian
premiers and hotly denounced the
world council as time loser That is more
likely to endanGcr rather than help
the peace of the world.
The action of the British Premier
was provoked by Frances protest
.arainst the supreme counciis proposal
,o grant Germany another three
months delay in cvacuating the Ruhr
r,pion. as Premier Millerand had COM
plained that one of the vital provisions
of the league calls for the Immediate
disarmament of Germany.
He more than hinted that the league
covenant was inserted in the Versailles
treaty ont of Difference to PRESIDENT
Wilson. and that now as Mr.. Wilson, Is
apparently out of politics. the time has
come to clear out all impracticalities
and declare the league of nations an
impossible dream.
