half Of the Allies this failure to come

! Explaining why the latest propos-
ais of DIR. Simons were inadequate, Mr..
Lloyd-George said it was essential in
the interest Of the peace of the world
, that there should be a definite settle
ment Of outstanding questions between
rthe Allies and Germany. Germany, the
Allies and neutrals urged it.
AN appeal to comnonsense," he
continued" 1t is perfectly true that
! the Allies. failing to come to an agree
mcnt, made some suggestions before
&; trying to. agree to the five years, but
that was not ii plan which was adopted
I by any conference OF statesmen. We
wanted. each Of US, to know where we

! The premier pointed out that DR.. ST.

i ais for five years was apparent. not

which might make it uncertain, which
| might terminate it in a few weeas. 1t

saying: Germany is deprived of ter
ritory upon which she depended to
pay those annuities and therefore the

Mr.. Lloyd George continued:
The German proposals are perfect
ly vague. There is nothing the allies,
especially those who want to raise
money for repairing their ravaged
country, could raise one paper franc
! upon, let alone a gold mark The
! proposal that Germany should pay
annuities for five years not out of
revenue. but by means of a loan, is
disquieting. She is thereby mort
gagng her income for the years that
