 LONDON, May 5.-The speech of Premier Lloyd George in the house of commons this evening on separations, aside from a re- citaI of the findings of the su- preme council and an expIana- ton of the terms imposed on Germany, was in the main a de- fense of his opinion against ac- cusations from liberals and la borites of undue yielding to France and an apology and iusti- fication for the French attitude.
 He was followed by Lord Rob- ert Cecil. who appealed to the French ministers to frame their policy and model their language to avoid any cooling of the senti- nents between France and Eng land.
 John R. cIynes, chairman of the parliamentary labor party, and former Premier Asquith spoke favorabIy of the modera- ton of Mir. Lloyd Georges pro- nouncement. Mir. Asquith said he thought most reasonable and practical issue from the difficulty had been found.
