Aid All Needy.
Lloyd Georges
Plea to Banks
Premier Says Revival of
Trade Depends on Anti
Waste League Rule Be-
ing Enforced Everywhere
He Appeals to Workers
Declares Labor Must Be
Ready TO Consider What
Is Best for Industry

LONDON, Feb. II (By The Associ-
ated Press).-The Prime Minister,
speaking In the House of Commons to-
night, made an earnest appeal to the
banks to take fair snare in the risks
OF granting credits to impoverished Eu-
ropean countries, and in this way aid
IN the development of trade.
he argued that trade was equally
bad IN all countries, hence one must
suppose that the governments were
equally bad in every country, and that
trade would never revive until all coun-
trles were ruled by an anti-waste
league.
1--WE have never had great period
OF unempioyment with less Distress"
SAID Mr.: Lloyd George" because here
tofore there had been no state provi-
sion Of any kind, while to-day twelve
millions of people are. insured for 18
shllllngs weekly against unemploy-
ment. Moreover, by huge efforts the
country has spent $40, 900 in pro-
Vldlng for unemployed former service
men"
Reviewing the governments RENE
dial measures, the Prime Minister con-
tinued:
You will never solve the problem
until the workers come in q friendly
way TO consider what is best in the
interests of industry. This country
depends more on exports than any
country in the world. If international
trade fails, ] don't care what you do
by Legislation or administration, you
will have nothing but starvation and
ruin.''
The Premier declared that the work.
ers must be prepared to share their
work with less fortunate men. He spoke
very strongly in reproaching the build
lnp trade for hampering the entrance
OF former service men. The stagnation
of the purchasing power of Central Eu-
rope, he said, was in consequence of
the war. The whole difficulty was the
establishment of credits. Everybody
wanted the government to assume the
whole risk, but that was unfair, be-
cause 1T was risk of the taxpayer.
Ihe government had failed to induce
the banks to take any share in these
abnormal risks, and now he apnealed d
to the banks to do so. 1t was in the
interest of the countrys trade. and
that was as much to the interest of the
nanks as to any other class They were
the only people who could really helm
and If they did so he believed it wouid
be possible to get start.
The Premier emphasized the bafiin,
nature of the Austrian problem, OWNS
to the breaking up of the industrial
and commercial machinery throughou
the Continent, and also alluded to tn,
lmlmodesate outburst of nationalism ir
ali countries, saying:
We have it here, in France. i,
Am merlca--a sort of feeling that yo,
must build wall all around and neve
hand a cup to your neighbor. PeonI,
forget that countries are interdepend
ent. Love your neighbor' is not onI,
sogno Christianity but good business.
1n1s was greeted with Laborit

cheers and shouts Of "come over here. -
Mr.. Lloyd George concluded with the
statement:
Central Europe will be paralyzed
until it begins 60 feel little more
neighborlys and it is the business of
this country to lead the way again in
this international task"
Mr.. Lloyd George explained why
Russia will not be represented at the
London conference. In replying to
question as to whether Russia had
been invited to send g representative
to the conference on the Turkish
treaty the Prime Minister said:
Russia, having foolishly declined an
invitation to the conference Of the
Allies in London last summer to settle
all outstanding questions, because ac-
ceptancs would have involved arresting
the march of her invading armies in
Poland, we do not propose to renew
the invitation"
The amendment to the address from
the Throne introduced yesterday by
John Robert Clynes, Laborite, regret
ting the governments failure to deal
adequately with unemployment, was
rejected 262 to 81.

BERLIN, Feb. 17-Dr. Walter ST.
mons, Foreign Minister, delivered sec
ond speech to-day in Karlsruhe on the
Allied reparations demands and Ger
many's attitude toward them.
France will not succeed in obtain
ing from Germany her hoped-for draft
on the future" said DR.. Simons. "ft
will be our task in London to point
this out better. Maybe the Allied rep
resentatives will rebel against our pro-
posals. Then, for the time being, the
situation will be the same as before
the Paris conference, and the stipula-
tions of the Versailles Treaty will COR
tinue to operate.
THE amount of our opponents
claims for reparations, therefore, must
be communicated to US by May l and
a decision reached as to the method of
payment. The reparations commission
then from time to time will be required
to decide whether it is possible for
Germany to make payments.

Navy Officers Tell
How Enemy Could
Pour Gas on City
Need of Adequate Defenses
Stressed i'm Plea for Land
in Riis Park ON Which to
Build an Aviation Station

An enemy battleship could lie beyond
the horizon and lombard Manhattan
with sixty tons Of deadly gas shells an
hour, according to one of the argu-
ments made yesterday by naval officers
before the Sinking Fund Commission
in urging that the city cede ninety-four
acres of the 267 acres of Jacob Riis
Park, at Rockaway Point, to the Fed
eral government for an aviation sta
ton.
Rear Admiral H. P. Huse, the new
commander of the Third Naval District,
told the commissioners that if the navy
could not get this land for an aviation
station New York could not be prop-
erly protected
ut is as an expert that l tell you
this" said the Admiral. "New York
will have to accept the responsibility.
The land requested is necessary for
the defense of the city. Congress will
rot buy 1t. If you do not cede the
land there will be no air station. That
is final"
Representatives of parks and play-
ground associations and other civic
bodies were present to oppose the
grant, and all said that it had been
a struggle to get the park and thew
did not want to lose any part of It
now. Dock Commissioned Hubert
favored granting the application, saw
ing that the station would ado to the
children's interest in the park. Rear
Admiral J. H. Glennon, formerly com
mandant of the district, said the sta
tion was necessity and that the citv
would need tremendous forts at Rock
away Point.
Further consideration of the matte,
was laid over for two weeks.
