One of the first efforts of those who

Washington more actively interested
Lloyd George has made a deep i'm
preston on some of the unobtrusively
influential men of the Middle West
They are men who are on the inside
of things, but who do noI seek the

effectively, and their influence will
be brought to bear in Washington
New American Understanding
They believe Lloyd Georges visit
will result in a new American under.

and a consequent demand that Amer

interests of American commerce and
industry.
The first step in this. as Lloyd
George has pointed out in virtually
all the speeches he has made on this
continent, is to settle the Preparations
problem. He has repeatedly told his
audieRces-a crowd of 1900 cheered
him when he said it in Chicago last

TO arrive at a reparations settlement
In his speech last night, he gave
the big audience a detailed A &c
explanation of reparations-told them
how the prosperity OF the United
States depended on a settlement; told
them how the French policy. based
on the blindness of force and VIC

them if France and Belgium would
agree to the Hughes plan, and it was
shown Germany could pay more and
would not, then we can march to

Explained Problem
He explained the whole problem as
IT has never before been explained
to an American audience. Having ere

business men who will now try tc
get President Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes to offer again to Europe the
Hughes plan of solution.
Lloyd George left this morning fol

Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is one O,

Lloyd George had recovered from
his indisposition caused by fatigue

Cope Precedes Party
Sir Alfred Cope, one of his persona
representatives, will therefore pre-
cede the party from now on, revising
the program in each town.
Though Lloyd Georges secretarie:

cities concerning his intentions, 1t i.

That will be arranged by Cope. be
