AMERICA WITH LLOYD GEORGE


THE heart of America is with Da,
vid Lloyd George at Genoa in
his efforts to bring about a measure
of order out of world chaos. The
little Welchman has a gigantic task,
but he has record of great achieve.
ment behind him, and hope will not
be lost that he will accomplish some
thing at Genoa until he actually fails.
Lloyd Georges task has been vast
ly multiplied by the German-Russian
treaty coup and by the obstinacy of
the French who insist on eXacting
the last ounce of flesh That the
French are not to be blamed so much
will be admitted by tolerant people
who do not forget that France is not
the France of old, but suffering from
the all but fatal bleeding of the great
war and yet retains much of the
hysteria born of her war perils. Of
course, France views everything diff
ferently from others-except little
Belgium. And so we find those two
countries which bore the great brunt
of wars disasters holding out against
q settlement with Russia on any basis
but one Of their own naming.
Sympathie with them as we are
bound to, the rest of us cannot blind
ourselves to reason. The world can
not be made more orderly and con-
ditions of peace actually restored on
any but a sane basis. Gold facts
and actual conditions need to be con-
suited more than sentiments; the
world must look to the future rather
than behind, to recover from the
wounds of war. And that is the way
Lloyd George views the whole situa
ton, that is the motive that actuates
him to hold out to the last for an
agreement on a basis of reason rath-
er than malice or sentiment, a pro-
gram that will permit the countries
debtors to the Allies to pay those
debts without actual confiscation-
which would mean revolt, bolshevism
further spread, and added world
chaos.
And that is why we say the heart
of America-and Americus-is with
Lloyd George today.
