Lloyd George Believes Su-
preme Council Should
Have Deciding
Vote
DEPLORES ATTITUDE
FRENCH NEWSPAPERS
CHILDREN OF THE TREATY CAN
NOT BE PERMITTED TO BREAK
EUROPEAN CROCKERY WITH
IMMUNITY"

London, May 1S.-Mr. Lloyd George,
the prime minister, this morning is
sued a statement reiterating the Bri.
tish attitude regarding the upper ST.
lcsian situation expressed by him in
his recent speech in the house of com
mons and disclaiming responsibility
for distorted reports in the French
newspapers.
In the course of the statement, Mr..
Lloyd George said:
THE fate of upper .Silesia must be
decided by the supreme council and
not by Korfanty."
He continued, Children CT the trea-
ty cannot be allowed to break crock
cry in Europe with impunity. Some
body must place a restraining hand on
them; otherwise there will be contin-
ual trouble.
Great Britain cannot stand by
whilst her treaty, signed less than 20
years ago is being trampled upon"
The prime minister's statement be-
gan as follows:
Il adhere to the statement I made
in the house of commons on the sub
jcct Of Slesia. Naturally / can only
accept responsibility for what ] ac'
tually said and not for the truncated
and distorted reports in the French
newspapers. The almost unanimous
approval given by the American and
nc Italian, as we'll as the British
proes to the sentiments l then express
81 show that the great nations which
food by the side Of France in the war
mean TO interpret the treaty Of Versail-
les fairly"
Il have never witnessed such un-
animity Of any question" continued
the statement. "All shades of opinion
in these countries take the same view.
II would be unfortunate were the
French press to take different view,
but we must be tolerant of differences
of opinion amongst ourselves.
THE course OF the world in the COM
ing years cannot be forecast. The mists
ahead are more than usually dense.
Much will depend upon the allies hold
ing together.
Apart from treaty obligations,
events which cannot be foreseen must
determine the future groupings OF the
nations and the future Of the world and
especially Of Europe, will be determin-
ed by old or new friendships.
Under these circumstances, the
treaty OF Versailles is a document of
infinite moment-especially to the ma
tons Of the entente. II binds us to-
gether when there Is so much TO divide
us "

heart disease, from which he had suf-
fered from time to time during the

morning.
Mrs. Lane and George W. Lane, a
brother, were called to the former sec
retary's bedside shortly after a. m,
today and were with him when he
died.
Last night it was thought that Mr..
Lane was much improved. George
Lane spent several hours with him,
and when he left, his brother said:
I'm see you in the morning."
Although Mr. Lane said following The
operation that he was Surprised TO
be alive" his Improvement had been
so marked that his death was unex.
pected
His son, Franklin X. Lane, Jr., and

when their father died, as was his sis
ter, Mrs. NJ. A. Anderson Of Oakland,
Calf. George w. Lane said this morn
ing that his brother left no estate
whatsoever"
Mr.. Lanes body will be taken to Chi.
cago tonight.
Message of Coincidence
Washington, May IS. President
Harding sent the following message Of
coincidence today TO Mrs. Franklin X.
Lane at Rochester:
Il have just learned of the death OF
your distinguished husband and am
wiring to express my very great shock
and my exceedingly deep sorrow over
his untimely passing. He was an out
standing American who rendered most
distinguished service to his country
and found an abiding place in the af-
fections of all who knew him we'll.
Mrs. Harding joins me in an expression
of most sympathetic coincidence"
Former President Wilson also sent
