"I am willing to guarantee that nations need not fear an- other major war for 10 years,' declared Mr. Lloyd George, in an interview with Le Petit Journal. He said that there was no question that Germany was unable to make war at present.
"It is true that the psycholo. gical conditions necessary for war are present, but material facts must also be taken into consideration," he said. "I was head of the British Govern- ment during the Great War and I know how such a war has to be conducted.”
He added that by letting Japan do as she liked in Man- churia, "we encouraged Ger man militariam."----Reuter.
