Lloyd George Tells of

LONDON, England, March III
Playing the attitude of the British

in campaign speech that the La

British and American imperialists.
The speech was rnade at Boston,
Lincolnshire.
"The laying down of unnecessary
cruisers by the Labor premier pre-
cipitated the race" Lloyd George
asserted.
George then quoted a statement
that the Labor Party was the only
party out for peace. "What an extra
ordinary statement he said.
While George is himself one Of
the most active of British imperial
lists, the British leader during the
death struggle of British and Ger

his unmasking of the reactionary

the Labor Party have consistently

absolutely unnecessary" by the
Liberal candidate, were we'll armed

tee, the Red Cross tried to cover up
its tracks by extending some help
to those whom they had previously
driven away. The Negroes, however,
were forced to work building homes
for the whites for little or nothing
except food as the only way they
could get anything from the Red
Cross.
''To the terror of the flood is added
the discrimination in rescue work and
distribution. of relief" said Briggs,
"and this is symbolic of Negro suf-
fering in the South, for in addition
to the problems the white workers
have to face in fighting exploitation,
they have to meet the additional
problems arising from race discrim-
nation and race hatred as propa-
gated by the rich white planters and
business men,"

MISCONFIDENCE
Hit Socialist Program

BERLIN, Germany, March I'll
The Communist vote of misconfi-
dence against Rudolf Hilferding,
social-democratic minister of fl
nance, was today rejected by a
standing vote of the Reichstag.
The vote is part of the general
German Communist Party has re-
peatedly made against the social
democratic government and its arm
ament policies.
The last vote Of misconfidence
proposed by the Communists was
taken in connection with the cruiser
building program carried out by
the social democrats in the face of
nationwide protest.
On the cruiser program the social
democrats have been able to rally
the support of the other reactionary
sections of the Reichstag.
Owing to differences with the So
cial-democrats, a small number of
the nationalists voted with the Com
munists today for misconfidence.
The majority of nationalists, how
ever, preferred to absent themselves
from the Reichstag during the vote
taking. Their vote is regarded as
merely a matter of record.
The Reichstag today ratified the
Geneva protocol outlawing gas war
fare against the votes of national
lists and fascists.

NUMBER OF LIVES
LOST NOT KNOWN,
MISERY Extreme
Homeless Dogs Attack
Fugitives

BRATISLAVA, Czecho- Slovakia,
March 21.-At least 1000 peasant
families living in the Danube Valley
area here have lost their homes,
their cattle and all other posses
sions, as the raging waters of the
Danube continued to flood the en-
tire region today.
Thousands were forced to flee at
night, wading aften knee-deep in
The icy water with ali the goods
they could carry on their backs or
heads. Many of the men and women
were carrying their children, unable
to walk. Church bells were rung
throughout the night to warn all
stragglers Of the advancing flood of
waters.
Lighting System Fails.
In the midst of the general con-
fusion, which in many sections
verged on a panic, as the refugees
fled on rickety pontoon bridges, the
electric lighting system broke down.
Packs of homeless dogs, driven
ous by the swelling torrent, at
tackled the fugitives, adding to the
horror of the night.
The number of lives lost has not
been computed.
The flood, which is the largest
since 1872, began when thawing
mountain streams poured their tor
rents into the Danube headstreams.
It is still increasing. Lifted by the
mass of millions of tons of thawing
ice, the vast volume of water over
whelmed the countryside.
Ice Barriers 40 Feet High.
In many places the ice barriers
are 40 feet high. The ice at first
completely isolated this town follow
ing the failure of army engineers to
smash the ice masses by a lombard
ment of howitzers, mortars and
other heavy guns. Later, holes were
drilled in the floes and the explo-
sions finally freed the city.
The misery of the homeless pea
santry is extreme. Subsistence of
the flood will hold little relief for
them, since they have lost all their
goods and live stock.

British public for the change.
The visit of the prince to the min
ing regions is thus shown in still
another light besides the interest of
the British mine owners and the
government to stifle the resentment
of the starving miners with appear
ances OF royal solicitude for their
misery.
The question of the dissolution of
parliament, with which the regency
council is not empowered to deal, is
fastening the choice of the prince
as regent, though if the king i'm
proves quickly in the next few deys,
he may be able to act on the issue.
The general election in May will
bring the matter to head.
1t is suggested, however, that

crisis. The crisis came most uneX-

Premier Madsen Mygdal said the

Fifty-two social-democrats voted
against the finance bill, while the
right wing of the liberal party gen.

1t was understood that Premier
Mygdal planned to submit his resig-

final decision will not be known until

The government announced it

for him.

nothing extraordinary?

that he was gloomy and excited. We
argued.
Investigator: Was his mood of a
personal character, or was the reason
for his excitement more general, for
instance, social dissatisfaction?

the impossibility of continuing his
studies and his work i'll the near
