PARIS, August 13.-The Silesian
dispute amply illustrates how the
European powers can agree perfectly
upon basic principles of a settlement
and yet differ wholly on interpreta-
tions. These diverse interpretations
spring from diverse political concep-
tions. which, in turn, are dictated by
opposite Compartments and tradi-
tions.

British Liberal Leader.

BY Radio to The Star.
LONDON. August 1s.-In view Of
some Of the recent utterances Of his
peripatetic political opponents. 1t
may be appropriate here to say few
words regarding Lloyd Georges
standing with the English people. in
the event that he should attend the
Washington, conference.
There has been some confusion
during the past week arising from an
alleged newspaper interview in
which 1t was reported that the prime
minister had said he did not intend
personally to take part in the Wash
ington gathering. The report was
duly contradicted. Lloyd Georges
intentions in the matter are still un-
revealed. He is probably waiting on
events. and. like Lincoln In similar
circumstances. is willing to be con-
trolled thereby instead of indulging
in the vain hope of controlling them.
Interprets British View.
Meantime. however. Irish affairs
are maturing and the near east is in
turmoil as well as southeast Europe.
In such circumstances it would be
foolish for Lloyd George to commi,
himself lightly to a task which would
involve his absence from this country
for anywhere from SIX to eight weeks
at the least.
1t has fallen to Lloyd Georges lot.
self, to yet interpret and express to
other people the staid moralities OF
our race. He has been our mouth
piece to the ever-changing repre-
sentatives of the allies during the
strenuous days alike of war and
peace, and he has rarely failed to
present accurately the national view.
We are indeed not a little proud
of Lloyd George and of the part
which through him we have
played in these momentous times.
He has recently been pictured in
the United States as mere IRAN
phase of our national life. Moth
ing is more untrue or. at the pres
ent time. more miSchievous. We
have our own differences on some
affairs for home consumption, and
we are not slow in expressing
them. We sometimes say good
deal more than we mean. and that
is perfectly well understood
among ourselves. But when this
habit is carried into statements
to other people and Is related to
international affairs. then it Is
liable to cause misunderstanding.

provinces annexed by force and with
out a plebescite in 1871. Who does not
know that this is the exact contrary
of the truth? For forty years France
