This was made plain in the House

Mr.. Lloyd George said it was of su-
preme interest that the Allies should
see, that the treaty was respected. For
on the side of the Allies and German:
must submit to them, but the future
was dark and uncertain. He predicted
that force would count less and !esF

honor Of Germany to her bond would
count more He added that if there
should come a change in circumstances
and the power Of the Germans be-
came more vital, then it would be q
bad thing if the Germans could say:
You are asking US to honor our
bond; what did you do with yours

surrender. If they had thought. that
earlier, when the battle for Polish

have been fewer British. French and

OF it when the Germans are disarmc,l

has repudiated responsibility. and

Mr.. Lloyd George challenged Po-
lands claim Of non-responsibility for
the invasion OF Upper Silesja. He re-
ferred to the invasion of Lithuani:. by
irregular Polish troops in defiance OF

Of officers and arms across the Polish
border made it very difficult to feel
that those regulations OF RESPONSE
