MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S « EXPLOSION.”.
London, May 14.
The speech, or as described by some hearers "the explosion," by Mr. Lloyd George on the subject of the sanctity of treaties, with special reference to Poland, was delivered with unusual feeling, emphatic gestures and vigorous phrasing. He declared that if we do not deal with the Polish insurgents with stern justice it will be fatal to the peace of Europe. "If this is disturbed, I cannot see what is going to happen to the world, and I am alarmed, I am frightened. I use the phrase deliberately. Unless confidence is restored in the world to enable it to begin work again, the consequences must be of the most terrible character. Therefore we must decide fairly and sternly. According to the pact we ourselves signed, the freedom of Poland is based on the Treaty of Versailles,
"It may be a bad and harah Treaty, but the last country in the world entitled to complain is Poland. She did not win the Treaty, she did not win the war. Half her sons, under the banner of Russia, fought for and the other half against the Allies. The former were beaten, broken and driven like cattle, the latter fought to the end. Poland fell. Had we depended on the pro-Ally Polish armies Poland to-day would have been a German or Austrian province.
There
is not a letter in the Treaty of Versailles that does not mean a young British life and nearly two French lives, and there were also hundreds of thousands of Italians.
"Korfanty now talks of dying rather than surrendering. If the Poles had thought of that earlier there would have been fewer British, French and Italian lives lost; but they only thought of it when Germany wag disarmed and helpless."
Referring to the necessity of the Allies honouring the bond equally with the Germans, the Premier predicted that force must count leas and less with the Treaty of Versailles and that the honour and credit of Germany and her signature to the bond must count more. He pictured these sixty million powerful, courageous, resourceful people regaining their vitality and asking what the Allies did with the bond, and said solemnly to Britain and her Allies it is not merely a matter of honour, it is a matter of safety that we adhere to the Treaty when it is for and when it is agains.
"I dislike, I fear, this trifling with the Treaty, this saying 'After all they are only Germans.'"
The Premier was of the opinion that it was not difficult for the Allies to restore order in Silesia, but as Britain was obliged to withdraw her troops she could not insist on the Allies jeopardising the lives of their soldiers but could insist on the alternative that the! Germans be allowed to enforce respect for the Treaty in what, until the decision was announced, was a German province. "It is unfair to disarm Germany and not permit her to participate in restoring! order. Fair play is what Britain stands for and what I hope she will stand for to the end."
a more
Differences of opinion on policy have been raised in acute form than ever by Mr. Lloyd George's speech on the Silesian imbroglio. The speech is generally hailed by the British press as honest, courageous and statesmanlike and worthy the most honour- able British traditions in face of the Polish attempts to make the Treaty of Versailles a "scrap of paper."
Paris, May 14.
The French press is astonished with the speech, which the Petit Parisien says may have a disastrous effect in France. M. Gaulois in! speech shows that Britain is prepared to throw the whole weight of her authority in the direction of satisfying German ambitions in Silesia. The Echo de Paris anys that France "will not have her hand thus foreed. We await our spokesmen to declare this clearly."

All the Paris papers declare that Lord D'Abernon, acting on instructions, has entered into an engagement with Germany withouti France's knowledge, intimating that as a recompense for the accep- tance of the Allied ultimatum, Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort will be evacuated. What has actually happened has been revealed by Berlin which says that while the Allies have not yet decided as regards the cancellation of the latest sanctions, it is understood the British Government, in view of German acceptance of the ultimatum, favours cancelling the sanctions, especially as regards the Rhine, customs barrier and occupation of Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort. An exchange of views between the Allies thereanent is proceeding. M. Briand, in a statement to foreign journalists on the Upper Silesian problem, declared that the French Government had done its duty in Upper Silesia and protests agafast false reports to the con- trary. M. Briand mentioned that Germans had insulted and arrested French afficers, which conld not be tolerated, and declared thati Germany would provoke most serious results if she interfered with Silesia and not a single one of the Allies would authorise entry of German troops into Silesia. The Premier admitted that the views of the British, French and Italian delegates of the Inter-Allied Commis- sion were at variance. France did not say that the whole of Upper Silesia should belong to Poland, but that 4 should be divided on the basis of the Treaty of Versailles and the plebiscite result in con- formity with justice. He suggested that he Inter Allied Commission should try and find a common proposition to lay before the Supreme mediately check any action which might send the Germans against The Passing Of Dr Ironside
Council
M. Briand said that Mr. Lloyd George interpreted the situation from his own point of view, but the British Premier could not take the initiative alone of authorising German. troops to advance in Upper Silesia. M. Briand added he was convinced that if Poland! was definitely assured by the plebiscite that Silesia would be parti- tion on a basis of communes in accordance with the plebiscite figures, calm would be restored. If, en the contrary, the Allies wished to use Upper Silesia as a quid pro quo far their private purposes, Pols nd would revolt. M. Briand concluded by regretting the present controversy because it led Germany to believe the Allies were divided and would thus be likely to lead her into dangerous paths.
London, May 14.
Berlin newspapers comment with satisfaction upon Mr. Lloyd George's speech, which they regard as a warning to Poland and France. They are of opinion that Germany is now more confidently able to repeat her proposal to restore order in her own province, Berlin, May 15.
Replying to the note of M. Briand with regard to the insurrection in Upper Silesia, the German note handed to France declares that the trouble is due to Korfanty's organ firenz Zeitung published in Upper Silesia, publishing a false report that the Allies had decided to hand over most of Upper Silesia to Germany. The publication

The note emphasises the seriousness of the situation in Upper Silesia, and says that Korfanty is completely master of the situation. The Inter-Allied Commission has disposed no force in the greater! artion of Upper Silesia. It concludes by declaring that the serious. accusations of the French note against Germany are absolutely without foundation, as General Lerond, head of the Inter-Allied Commission in Upper Silesia, has already recognised.
Paris, May 11. Speaking in the Reichstag the new Chancellor. Herr Wirth, announced that Germany accepts the terms of the Allies' ultimatum.
