LLOYD GEORGE
REGRETS YANKS
OUT Of TREATY
Says Any Failure of
League of Nations
Due to u. S. Absence.
Moderation Spirit in
Dealing With Germans
Upheld by Minister.

London, May 31.-(By The Associ'
ated Press) With Germany undefiant
Premier Lloyd George had planned to
make brief statement on reparations
in the house of commons Wednesday
afternoon but when John Robert
Clynes. labor member, opened the de-
bate and attributed the present diff
ficulties to the governments election
pledges of 1918, the prime minister
launched into a lengthy defense of the
reparations commission and the treaty
of Versailles.
Whatever lack of balance was evil
dent in the working of the treaty, and
likewise the workings of the League
of Nations, he asserted. was due to the
absence of the United States, who. hav-
ing no claims with respect to repara-
tions. was friendly to France. Italy.
Great Britain and Germany, and was
concerned in seeing that reparations
were not driven TO extremes, to upset
the balance of world trade.
Mr.. Lloyd George praised the Ger
man attitude toward the reparations
commission and indicated that so long
as she was not defiant. Germany could
count on Britain's sympathy and under
standing of the difficulties involved in
meeting the treaty conditions. He de-
clared. however. that there was no
cause for disagreement between France
and England, for should Germany re-
fuse TO attempt to fulfill the commits
sion's proposals, Great Britain's place
would be at the side of the Versailles
signatories, despite the misrepresenta-
tions which were being made.
Great Britain believed in the policy
of moderation and fulfillment, CON
tinued the prime minister, and be gave
warning that isolated action on the
part of anyone of the allies would be
to the entente between them.
ut is the policy pursued after
Waterloo toward France, when Prussia
and Russia and the other victors urged
hat France be trampled." said Mr..
Lloyd George. "the government in that
fay refused to countenance such
policy; we are pursuing the same
But if Germany is defiant. IL
she should say. this treaty we decline
o carry out it would be different A
;erman policy of non-fufillment would
De policy of immediate disaster.
1T is not question of France act
ng alone if there is defiance of the
iersailles treaty. We are signatories

mons ratified. We are committed to il. !
