to the words of the man who more
than any other individual won the war
against Germany
Probably his most significant ad-
dress was that delivered in Chicago.
To an audience of 1900 the former
premier set forth in plain terms the
British position In the matter of repa-
rations, arguing that, while his coun-
try was us vitally interested as any

Mr.. Lloyd George then, as he had In
other addresses, declared himself
wholly In favor of the proposal of Sec
retary Hughes, that a commission of
experts should determine Germany's
capacity to pay. He presumed that
the United States would be represent

much Germany can pay, and once we
have done that, then We could march
together to compel her to pay"

wisdom, all the calm. all the Judgment
OF the mariners who are guiding the
ship of civilization to navigate it. or
else II will be wrecked, with its inval-
liable cargo Of achievement and hope
for mankind"
