Premier Lloyd George, talking TO
the Welsh Presbyterian general as
sembly, admits that he is disappointed
because, despite the formation of the
League of Nations. some of the peo-
pies Of the world insist on fighting.
and because the spirit Of national
hatred, greed and pride is as domi-
nant as ever, Notwithstanding the les
sons Of the late war He says he is
still all for the league, but fears that,
unless public opinion in all civilized
nations is better instructed, the league
will become a breeding ground OF in
trigues and feuds which might lead
to the greatest conflict vet witnessed.

France and Germany, and though it

the result of conference at Weis-

Walter R8thenau, German minister Of

The British imperial conference,
which is in session in London this
week, planned to take up almost the
first thing the matter of renewing the
Anglo-JapaneSe treaty. Prime Min
listers SHUTS of South Africa. Hughes
of Australia and Massey of New Zea-
land all have declared publicly that
the pact must not be renewed unless
it is agreeable to the United States.
Premier Mcighau of Canada. if he is i'm

the treaty. 1t is believed in London
diplomatic circles that the question
may be finally solved by the forma-
ton of Pacific triple entente-Great
Britain, the United States and Japan.
