LANGER OF UPPER SILESIA.

Losbet, May 18.

Mr. Lloyd George, in his speech mentioned in our earlier cables, said: "The stand taken by the British, American and-Italian public on the Silesian question should not be offensive to France. They mean to apply the terme of the Treaty of Versailles justly whether for or against Germany. The fate of Upper Silesia must be decided by the Suprente Connell, not by Korfanty. The children of the Treaty cannot be allowed to break the restraining trockery of Europe with Impunity. Somebody must place a band on them otherwise there will be continual trouble. The world's course in the coming years cannot be forecasted The mists ahead are unusually dense. Much will depend on the Allies holding together apart from treaty obligations. Unforeseen events must determine the future groupings of nations, and the future world, especially Europe, will be determined by old or new friendships.

*The British Government were anxious to have the division of Silesia settled at the London conference All the facts of the plebisicite were known but our Allies were not ready to proceed with the discussion. We vill abide faithfully by the decision of the majority of the powers who have a voice under the Treaty in defining the Silesian boundaries whatever the verdict.
