Little evidence Of illness was ap
! parent in the little WeNhman when
he delivered his address with char
acteristic force and energy before an

Amplifiers made his voice distinct II

Lloyd-George pronounced Secretary
Hughes proposal that a commissio !
of business experts examine Germany
capacity to pay thoroughly prac'
teal. business-like proposal"
America Impartial, He Says.
"The United States of America is
absolutely impartial" he declared.
"She has no interest in reparations
She has certainly no more interest
in Germany than anybody else. She is
very we'll disposed toward France and
therefore, with a friendly country, alb.
solutely impartial and with great
fund of business knowledge at its dis.
posal, represented in body of thai
kind, it seems to me We would find ?
way to ascertain how much Germany
can pay, and. once we have done that
then we could march together to CON-
pei her to pay"
1t is a fatal mistake TO drive the
people of Germany into despair. he
declared. Revolution. he said. is moi
the way to get reparations. The stor,
of Germany, if it is pressed without
| reason. will be similar to that of the
old saying that men, TO escape a fire
will plunge into boiling water, tn,
British statesman said.
Europe Like Starving Man.
Europe he compared to ragged
and starving man looking through tn,
windows at the wcll-dressed and well
fed people inside. The man needs
| clothes and food more than those IN
side. he said, but he cannot buy then
because he cannot pay, he continued
'The whole machinery of trade anc
commerce is torn and shattered. Cur
rency, exchange. the arrangements
which business men have made througr
the centuries of interchanging com
n.odities all are gone.
1.-THE German reparations problem
| will need all the wisdom, all the calm
all the judgment Of the mariners who
are guiding the ship of civiliza ton,
he concluded. cor else. it will bC
wrecked with its invaluable cargo Of
achievement and hope for mankind.
