London, kiay 1.-Premler Lloyd
George. speaking IN the house Of COM
mons on the subject Of the recent al
lied conference at San Reno, said
that before the conference there had
been some Misunderstanding serious
enough In themselves, but made grave
by deliberate fomenting on the part
OF very reckless persons.
But" he continued, II am glad to
say that the day IL once more clear.
SO far as | can see. everyone is satis-
ned at what happened at San Reno"
The premier declared the confer
ence had been the most remarkable
one In every respect held since the
arnistice. There never had been such
a conference as regarded satisfaction
with the agreement by all the parties
concerned, or the happiness which had
been brought about, he said.
The conference, declared the pre-
mier, dispelled all suspicion that the
treaty Of Versailles was not to be en-
forced.
Mr.. Lloyd George said there had
been no difference of opinion between
the allies as to enforcement Of the
treaty.
A misunderstanding arose, he de-
clared, over the question as to who
should put down the disturbance In
the Ruhr, which threatened the peace
not only Of Germany. but Of Europe.
The French thought II ought to be
suppressed by the allies, he asserted,
but all the others believed It should
be left to the Germans. This differ
ence had been settled, he said, and
the Germans informed that the mo-
ment the German troops in the Ruhr
were reduced the French troops would
be withdrawn from Frankfort and
Darmstadt.
The premier asserted that the mis-
understanding In France concerning
Great Britain's intentions regarding
revision Of the treaty had been re-
moved. He said he had made 1t clear
that Great Britain did not desire re-
vision of the treaty, which must be
made the basis Of policy of the al
lies, and that Great Britain would act
with France and the other allies in its
enforcement.
Great Britain had also made It clear,
he continued. that she would not sane
ton any policy OF annexation by
France in Germany. II was impossi-
BILE. he declared. to have another Al
sace-LorraIne. Such a policy, he as
serted. had been advocated by some
powerful personages and journalists
in France.
II need hardly assure the house" |"
he said. "that NJ Millerand and his
associates readily and sincerely gave
assurance that the vast majority of
the people Of France were just as
much opposed to policy of that kind
as the people of Great Britain. / at
tach enormous Importance to that"
Another Misunderstanding that had
been removed. the premier went on,
was that on the part of the French,
who no doubt thought Great Britain
did not mean 20 enforce the treaty
with regard to reparation and disarm.

was no one In Germany who seemed
to have the power to enforce the de
cree, and that was one of the great

''Their guns and airplanes we mus
get" Mr.. Lloyd George declared
"That is essential. We cannot allow
these terrific weapons of war to be lef
