PREMIER'S DECLARATION GENERAL
GENERAL CO ELECTRIQ
London, To-day.
The Premier on the Nazi-Soviet declaration: "The immediate cause of the war was the deliberate invasion of Poland, the latest but by no means the only act of aggression planned and carried through by the German Government. But if Poland was the direct cause of the war, it was not the fundamental cause.
"That was an overwhelming sense here and in France of the intolerable nature of a state of affairs in which the nations of Europe were faced with the alter- native of jeopardising their freedom or mobilising their forces at regular intervals to defend it.
The passage in the Russo-German declaration about the liquidation of the war is obscure, but it seems to combine a suggestion of some proposal for peace Iwith a scarcely veiled threat as to the consequences if the proposal should be refused.
"I cannot anticipate the nature of any such pro- posal but I can say at once that no threat would ever induce this country or France to abandon the struggle before their purpose is achieved.
The threat is only another instance of German war technique. The responsibility rests upon those who con- ceived and carried out a policy of successive aggressions and it can neither be evaded nor excused.
"I would add that no mere assurances from the present German Government could be accepted.
"For hat Government has too often proved in the past that their undertakings are worthless when it suits them they should be broken.
"If, therefore, proposals are made, we shall cer- tainly examine and test them in the light of what I have just said. Nobody desires the war to continue an unnecessary day but the overwhelming mass of opinion here and in France is determined to secure that the rule of violence shall cease, and that the word of Gov- ernments, once pledged, must henceforth be kept.' British Wireless.
LLOYD GEORGE SPEECH UNPOPULAR
BUT DEBATE WAS CHARACTERISTIC
London, To-day.
THE TONE OF LLOYD GEORGE'S speech in his in- tervention in yesterday's debate was unpopular, except among those Labourites whose views on a war of any kind are invariably those of an ex- treme pacifist.
There was much support for the protests of the two other Welshmen, Mr. Grenfell and Mr. Morris Jones, who described the speech as ill-timed.
U.S. TREATY

WASHINGTON, TO-DAY.
The vast majority of members in conversation condemn the speech as misrepresenting the spirit of the coun- try' and likely to do harm abroad, writes Reuter's Lobby Correspondent. There was also some criticism of some speakers who treated Lloyd George's speech as though it would
