LONDON, Oct. 25.-By the AS

party and any government that pur-
sues a policy of peace, economy and
steady progress, neither revolution,
airy nor reactionary, and does /.
efficiently" former Prime Minister
Lloyd George told the coalition lib
eral members of parliament at a
meeting this morning. In another
part of his speech he made the dec
laration, Great Britain must pay
America all her debts"
Referring to the coalition govern
ment which he had headed, he said
1--WE have stood for national uni
ty-for unity of the men of al
creeds, parties and sections.
"Our object first was the win
ming of the war and afterwards ex
Treating the country out of its aft
er-war difficulties. 1t was our poll

FaVOrS League
Referring to thee conservatives
who broke away from the coalition
and by their defeat Of Austen Cham
berlain as conservative leader
brought about the accession Of Al
drew Bonar Law to the premiership.
he said:
81 can understand the revolt Of
the secretaries. They were
subalterns who would like to lie
captains, and captains who would
like to be colonies or full generals.
At another point he said.
THE country's interest lis the
thing that matters at the beginning,
at the end and all the time. The
peril is not over. Alone the conser9-
ative party cannot defend the great
interests which are our common colt
Germ.
1.-The conservatives may win the
next victory. 1 doubt that, but
supposing they do, that it is not the
end 6f the war between two great
conflicting ideas of the organization
of society. Our business is to see
that the blunder shall not do harm
to our country"
Unity of action between Great
Britain and the United States was
urged by Mr.. Lloyd George.
II am for the League Of Nations.
he said, but until you get the
United States and all the great ma
tions of Europe as well as the small
the league will be crippled and can,
not serve it's full purpose.
America and Great Britain must
work together"
operations Policy
On the question of German repa-
'Itions he said:
Eve should not attempt to i'm
pose upon Germany any payment
which is beyond her capacity. What
is within her capacity she ought to
pay"
He expressed himself with some
>finiteness as regards the question
of Russia.
81 am strongly in favor Of the
renewal Of pact with Russia" he
declared.
Dealing with treat Britain's for
eign relations in general; he said:
cit is said Great Britain is not 60
ing 10 extend her responsibilities.
But you must not be afraid of your
responsibilities. The policy f Great
Britain must be peace-lovng, but, I'm.
afraid. II L stand alone I will resist
any departure from it.
II will never let Great Britain
down. I will not stand by or for
any man who does. Whatever gov
eminent is in power we must not
offer it any factious opposition.
There must be no nagging criticism;
there must be far play.
1--WE are told that the new govern
ment is a government TRANQUILITY. In
what respect does a policy of tran
guilty differ from ours? If tran
guilty means any change from the
existing condition of things then it
is bad.
1--WE have made peace in Europe,
we have made peace in the Near
East. What does the new policy
mean? It's no use using words I'M
less they mean something.
81 am all for cooperation with the
allies, but Great Britain has her own
responsibilities. She has her own
mission in the world and she must
stand by it."
