LLOYD GEORGE DELIVERED HIS ADDRESS BEFORE THE HOUSE
OF COMMONS THIS AFTERNOON
? "^31
NOTE IS BEING PREPARED
(By United Press)
LONDON.?The allies will not treat with Germany for peace
until Germany formally states the term? upon which bor peace offers
are baaed, Lloyd George today announced in the House of Commons.
"We do not propose to put our beads into a noose, with the ehd
of the rope in Germany's, hands," was one of the many strong state
ments the premier msde in his speech. He also announced that the
allies terms for peaco would be a complete restoration by Germany of
that territory which she baa captured, full reparation for all damage
domr with the effectual guarantee for the futurei
"Britain endorses every word of the answer that haa been made
bj France and Russia," further stated Lloyd George. Great crowds
cheered his remarks. 1
"Without reparation, peace would bo impossible," he added? "All
ont/agfif. oa.l^nd aad. jpa ?annnt be liquidated, by the {tpr picmr_
^hfrtsoirabctat humanity.
Toward "the conclusion of his address, Lloyd George announced that
a formal note from England, responding in this way to Germany's
peace proposals, would soon be completed and given the ambasay for
transmission to Berlin.
The Premier also emphasized the unity of the allies by declaring
that each had arrived at its decision to reject Germany's proposals,
under their present form, indefinitely. His terms, he stated, would
be to .reject Germany's offor, couched in bitter irony. Th^ allies will
insist only that the end of the war must be a oompletegnarantoe
against Prussian militarism disturbing tihe peaoa of Europe at any
future time. At the outset, the premie? stated further, the German
chancellor's speech afforded small hope for axr honorable and lfffripr
settlement.
