the basis of full recognition of the lib
critics of nations.
"The British and Italian govern
ments are alarmed at the indefinite
prolongation of the presen. state of
conflict among nations. The peoples
engaged in these antagonisms can
bring nothing but ever-increas ing
misery to the peoples of the world at
large, for they involve continued un-
rest. Until these conflicts cease the
betterment of agriculture, industry and
the interchange of commodities, on
which me economic life of nations de-
pends, cannot come into full operation
Scarcity and high prices, with attend
ant privations and perils, are the in
evitable result
Civilization itself, shaken and weak
ened by five years of incessant war
fare. is menaced by the prospect. The
British and Italian governments, there
fore, are united in urging that every
effort should be made to bring to a
conclusion the existing conditions of
strife between nations"
The official statement did not say
whether diplomatic or military action
was contemplated.
The conference concluded this eve
ming. when the premicrs sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Premier Millerand:
''In finishing our Lucerne conference
we send you a cordial salute and look
forward with pleasure to the earliest
occasion when both Of US can meet your
excellency."
Premier Lloyd George, replying to
question of the newspaper CORES
pondents, said he considered Presi-
dent Wilson's present policy as re-
CARDS Russia as inconsistent with his
declaration with regard to the Prinki-
po conference. The Premier added
that he had no wish nor intention of
mixing into American internal mat
ters. He made the same comment
concerning France when he was asked
about the recognition of Wrangel,
saying: THAT is their affair"
Agreement on All Points Claimed
The Paris correspondent having
asked if the questions to be considered
at AK had already been settled at
Lucerne, Mr.. Lloyd George referred
him to Sgnor Gioltti The Italian Pre-
mier said that the Lucerne meeting was
not q European conference, adding:
"The points pending will be settled at
AK" Signor Giolitti said he thought
there was no point on which there was
not unanimous agreement.
AS the newspaper men left Mr. Lloyd
George asked them not to worry him
any more. He told the Associated Press
correspondent that he was afraid he
would be compelled to curtail his holi-
day in Switzerland owing to the serious
ness of the labor situation at home

meeting, when former King Constantine

tel. The newspaper men were handed a
long communique which had been
drafted by the premiers and which Mr.
Lloyd George, with a twinkle in his eye
said already had been sent to London
and Paris.
Il took this precaution," Mr.. Lloyd
George said, "in order not to have the
wires clogged by press reports. 1t will
also save you time and money"
Won't Receive German ENJOYS
Mr.. Lloyd George wore grey suit
and was smoking cigar. Signor Clio
litti. who was dressed in black. sat
on sofa. The correspondents form I'd
ring about the two Premers, who
asked the correspondents whether they
had any questions to ask The CORE
spondents had many but the replies to
them generally were most diplomatic
Both the statesmen. however, said they
would not receive any German ennis
saries. Mr. Lloyd George asserted that
he had had no communication from
Prince Feisal, King of Syria, but de-
clared tina. he would have no obiec-
ton to receiving him, should he come
to Lucernc.

Several times Lloyd George raised
a laugh, in which he joined heartily

friend Giolitti."
The general impression is that the
Lucerne meeting was more important
than was first thought, and there
seems to be no doubt that reliable
