quickly expanded the statement made
early in his speech that .the Wash
ington conference is like a rainbow in
sky" and then passed to the Dues
ton of Ireland.
He declared that there was a better
prospect Of Great Britain's proposal to
Ireland being. needed today and ac-
ceptlng h invitation to enter the
British commonwealth as an equal
h for years, but. that the confer
ence was still in a critical stage. Be
yond this he carefully refrained from
divuigtng the results or the possibili-
ties OF h conference which are low
being held with the Irish representa-
tives.
Draws Parallel.
In his opening remarks, the premi-
er alluded to the economic troubles
affecting the world such as followed
the Napoleonic wars. He expressed
the conviction that the force of the
cyclone was already spent and fol-
lowed with a recital Of numerous
symptoms Indicating that a revival
was coming, particularly the fact
that in every land the slackness OF
What seemed to overcome labor is
passing away"
"The world is settling down to
work" said Mr.. Lloyd George. THE
slue-sky is beginning to emerge; the
washington conference. summoned
by President Harding is like a rain
bow in the sky. For, without the as
surance of peace. restoration OF bust
ness is impossible.
This conference comes none too
soon. So far. the war has not had the
effect of which every sane man an
ticipated from it, in arresting the
growths of ornaments.
Man is the most unteachable of all
animals. If you infict punishment
upon any other animal, he quickly
learns the lesson. But take the late
war. That lesson was scourged deep
into the flesh of the world, and yet no
sooner IT. we out of it than the ma
tons spend their substance in devils
ing n amassing fresh engines for
war; fresh subjects spring up every
where to justify war.
Armament Costs Increasing.
"Armaments today are thrice as ex-
pensive in men and material as they
were before the great war: at the
present rate they would soon ue q
hundred times as destructive and ter
rible. 80
Disarmament is the only road to
safety for the human race. The Am
erican conference has the future Of
civilization in its Sharge; therefore I
earnestly pray for its success.
twenty-five years ago, Lord Sails
bury, in his room, expressed the salts
faction which the people Of this coun-
try felt at the peaceful solution which
had just been reached Of our last seri-
GUS difference with the United States
of America. Every man who s a man
of British blood has been taught to
ca as unthinkable. That attitude of
mind is in itself a guarantee Of peace
between the two countries.
But this conference held under the
auspices of America ought to carry up
a stage furthen; it is the incubation
of a similar attitude toward and be-
tween all other peoples"
OF the Irish negotiations he said in
conclusions:
Il cannot reveal any secrets of the
conference room, that is the way to
bring a conference to naught. All I
car say is hat there is a better pros
pect Of our invitation to the people of
Ireland to come into free partnership
in the British empire a equals, being
needed today thar at any time for
! years"
He repeatedly emphasized the nee
essity for pace, saying that it was
needed for the welfare of the empire
as we'll as for the good relations OF
the British isles. The worst aspect OF
a family quarrel, he added, was not
only that 1t caused unhappiness with
in the family. but attracted the atten-
ton OF sneighbors. =
Declaring that there, could be; NO
peace and that = great opportunity
! would be lost II each. party approach
ed the tangled problem determined
not to bulge an inch, he exclaimed:
eve who are in the conference In
behalf of the British government and
people regard ourselves there as the
trustees Of the empire, the guardians
of it's honor and security. It Is a
high trust; we promise you we will
not betrayait."
The American ambassador, Mr.
Harvey, participated in the ancien,
custom OF drinking from the lord
! mayors loving cup sand passed 1t to
Lord CurZon, seated next TO him. He
followed tradition and stood at attent
itjon while the foreign secretary
