PEACE ENTENTE
Lloyd George Has Visions Of
Agreement on Armament.
MUST KEEP FAITH WITH JAPAN

ing of Pacific Problem Would Guar
antee World Peace.

London, Aug. 19-The earnest hope

Guiding Japan and great partnership
of the United States and England, i'll
surfing the peace of the world.
The prime minister gave no indica-
ton in his statement Of the compost
ton of the British delegation to the
conference.
Concerning the recent conference OF
imperial premiers, Lloyd George said
that body had recognized unanimously
that Japan has Loyalty observed the
alliance with Great Britain during the
war. He asked, was it right that
Great Britain should now turn about
and say to Japan:
Thank you for the trouble YOU have
taken but we don't want YOU any
longer.
There were cries of no from the
commonerS.
Lloyd George declared the British
empire must behave in a gentlemaniy
manner but asserted he did not see
why it should be Impossible to fulfill
Great Britain's obligation To Japan
and at the same time observe spirit
of fraternity to the United States. =
If the United States and Japan could
combine on the problems of the Pa
cifc, the prime minister declared that
would be a great event and guaran-
tee for the peace of the world. The
surest way TO success in the forthcom-
ing disarmament conference, he said,

the Pacific, and he was still hopeful
that such an understanding would en-
sue as Il result of the Washington CON
ference.
