LONDON, June 22. Mr. Lloyd George, interviewed at Boulogne, photo his departure, said that the conference had gone very well. The Emam apparently anticipated divided counsels, but they would find the Alteras united and determined as ever. Regarding disarmament, the Conference had taken a very strong line on the basis of the British proposition. The Turkish situation was not grave and was well in band. He declined to answer a question regarding the lump sum fixed for reparation. Regarding the suggestion that America should forego an amount of the debt due from Britain equal to an amount of the debt due to Britain from France, Mr_ Lloyd George said that fresh proposals had been made to Washington but (Reuter's Bervice to the China Ma.) an answer had not been received. He emphasised the fact that the best relations existed between France and Britain.
