Cap D'Antibes, Jan. 23. Mr. David Lloyd George, who celebrating his golden wedding January 24, gave a special interview to-day, when he declared that the future liberty of many generations depended on what Britain, France and the United States did now, and whether they were working *ንጌ parallel lines. "These great mocracies are powerful enough protect human liberty," he said.

Asked his rearlion to the

between Fascism and Communism, he declared: "I see 110 difference whatsoever between these policies and creeds. Fuscism as extolled by Mussolini, Nazlism as practised by Hitler, and Bolshevism as explofted by Stalin reveal to me no fundumen- tat difference. Liberty is just as remote in Germany as in Russia."

Mr. Lloyd George described Mun solini as perhaps the most skilfu) bluffer in Europe. He bluffed with the poorest cards. The real cards were in the hands of the democratic powers, and when the time comes, they could make a clean sweep of the table.

Mr. Lloyd George expressed the opinion that France has army in the world-Reuter.
