and he believed that kindly encourage
ment would achieve better results in

lovely daughter, his secretary and pal,
shared his views. He feeling for Dan
lei Craig, known as "Three Sevens" in

fore they reached him, Craig uninten-
tionally brought about the release OF

WORLD LOOKED TO
AMERICA, SAYS Pre-.
MIER LLOYD GEORGE
British Premiers Endorsement Of
President Hardlns's Peace
Conference [ ieered BY
House.

London, July IL. - President Hard
ing's message looking to the calling
OF an international conference for the
Limitation OF arms has been received
with the utmost pleasure by Great
Britain. Lloyd George, the Prime Min
lister, said in the House OF Commons
Monday.
Speaking on the subject OF the
American communication the Prime
Minister said:
Il need not say that We welcome
with the utmost pleasure President
Harding's wise and courteous initia-
tive"
The House cheered this statement,
and the Premier added.
In saying that / speak for the
empire as whole"
The Premier said China would be
treated as an independent In the con-
ference on Pacific affairs.
THE world has been looking to the
United States for such lead" Lloyd
George said, in referring to President
Harding's message.
Il am confident that the House will
esteem 1t is an act of far-seeing states
manship and will whole-heartedly
wish 1t success. No effort will be
lacking to make is so on the part Of
the British Empire, which shares to
the full the liberal and progressive
spirit inspiring it."
Colonel George Harvey, the Ameri-
can Ambassador, was in the gallery Of
the House to hear the Prime Minister'S
statement.
Lloyd George began his statement
by referring to the Anglo-Japanese
treaty. He said the Japanese Govern
ment took the view that no notice Of
cenunciation of the treaty had been
given and that his view also was held
by Lord Cursor, the Foreign Minister.
The matter was referred to the Lord
Chancellor, the Prime Minister de-
clared, who, after consultation with
the law officers of the crown, held that
no notice had yet been given and that
the treaty, therefore, remained in
force until denounced.
1t was, however, Lloyd George said,
the desire of both parties that the
agreement be brought into complete
harmony with the covenant of the
League of Nations.
