A LLOYD GEORGE SPEECHL
LONDON, December 7.
[The first section of this message is not yet to hand 1. after a word in unkindness against him. Party strife in America had resulted in jeopardising the peace and endangering the League of Nations in the country which took the most prominent part in promoting it. He asked wasn't this a warning that we were not through the wood? Germany thought, she would be able to take advantage of these differences in America. The Premier declared he was still a Free Trader. Proceeding, he outlined the legislation passed by the Coalition as 'evidence of what the so-called reactionary government had done for progress.
He hoped yet to make a successful contribution to the Irish question. He pointed out that the Unionista were prepared to make great sacrifices in order to preserve national unity. It was useless to discuss problems of Irish liberty when crime and anarchy were still rampant. He denied that Free Trade was inseparable.from dumping." which, on the contrary, injured Free Trade. The government had been asked to divide the nation in the face of a vigilant enemy, in order to unite the Liberals on the ques tion of German “dumping."
GERMAN REPLY TO ALLIED NOTE.
DENIES TOO MANY SOLDIERS.
BERLIN, Dec. 4.
The Allied note with reference to armaments demands the cessation of the formation of bodies outside the actual army, like the public security police, the volunteer guard, and. the citizens guard, as a violation of the peace treaty The note particularly demands that steps be taken to ensure that when the treaty comes into force the so-called police troops will be reduced to the strength provided in the treaty and given the constitution of a real local police force. A semi-official German statement on the note asserts that the reduction of the army to the stipulated 200,000 is in full swing, and declares the Allies were notified months ago of the necessity for forming the aforementioned defence guards to maintain order. It regrets that 'questione detail were not discussed by the Allies as Germany suggested. It concludes that the question how far they conflict with the treaty, which the German government denies, must be cleared up after the control commissions provided for by the treaty are established,
