minister, Duvhl Llqyd George, today
wet forth Ocvat Britain's war aluia
nu?re specifically xand at greater
length before the delegates of the
trades unions than he has eve* done
lefore.- t
Ilavlug first declared that it wan

fiany or the CSormau people, and that
the brook tug up of the German pop
ple* or the disintegration of their
state wart uot 0110 of the obkctu for
which the allies were tight Ing, he
proceeded to mention the fundamen
tal Issues for which Rritalu and hor
allies were contending.
First among these was the restora
tlon of Relglum and reparation for
the injuries inflicted. Next came the
restoration of Serbia, Montenegro and
the occupied parts of Franco, Italy
and Humanity. Frautco mm* have
Alsace-Lorraine and to (bis end, safd
the premier, the British nation would
stand by tin? French democracy to
the death.
The question of Russia was touch
ed upon, and Mr. Lloyd George said
that Britain, as well as America,
France and Italy, would have been
proud t6 tight by the side of the new
Rir&dan democracy. Rut now Hussla|
could only be saved by ner own peo
ple, He declared an Independent Po
land an urgent necessity for the sta
bility of western Europe.'
Rumania, is to be protected, and
the British and other allies are with
Italy fn her desire for complete union
of the people o? Italian race and
tongue. Of Austria-Hungary he felt
that, while the breaking up of tba
'dual kingdom was no paH of die al
lied war alms, it was impossible to.
hope for the removal of causes of<
unrest in that part of Europe unless
genuine self-government was granted
the Austro-IKingarlan nationalities.

home lands of the Turkish rac^ with.

malhtaTned v But A? ^ssage between
the Mediterranean and Black sea
must be internationalized and neu-,
tralized, ,and In the British view, Ara
bia, Armenia, Mesopotamia, 8yria
and Palestine aw entitled to recog
nition of their separate national con
ditions. ? - *" ?
The matter of the German colonies,
all of^ which are.jiow in the hands of
the allies, will be placed before a
conference, whose decjisioiv however,
must consider the wishes and inter*
ests of the inhabitants ? the future
administration, must be acceptable to
the YAriiM m tribes. ? ,~
The premier made brief reference
to the violation of international law
committed by Germany, with special
emphasis on the sea, and the peace
conference, he declared, must hot lose
sight of the outrages suffered by Brit
ish and other seamen, and the ser
vices they had rendered.
The three cardinftt points of the
British terms, as enunciated by the
British prime minister areT "Re-es
tablishment of the sanctity of treat
ies, territorial settlement based on
the right of self-determination or the
consent of the governed; the- crea
tion, of 'an International organisation
to limit armaments and diminish the
probability of war.
No Eirttish statesman since the be
ginning of the war has given such a
detailed and explicit statement ? of
Bii tain's, war aisoe as contained la the
premier's address, which was deliv
ered before the man-power confer

were present and -also Sir Auckland;

in Joint session.

reaccdovinu peoples desiring to live
their own lives, the President commit
ted tjie .United States r<> tight and eon '
tlnue to light until it is accomplished.
Thus ho inniged tin* country to the
Allies' policy of no separate peace.
"We cannot bo separated in Interest
or divided In purpose," he said. "We
stand together to the and."
The President s]>oko ns follows:
Centloiuftn of the Congress:
Once more, as repeatedly before, the
BlK.k^meu of the Central Empires
have indicated their desire to discuss
the objects of the war and the pos
sible basis of a general peace. Par- ,
leys have been in progress at Brest
Utovsk, between Russian representa
tlves and representatives, of the Cen
tral Powers to whicti tho attention of
ail the beiligorents nave been invited
tgf the purpose! of ascertaining
winter It be possible to .extend
there parleys Into a general conference
with regard to terras of peace and set
tlement./ The Russian representatives
presented not only a perfectly definite
statement, of the principles upon which
thpy would to willing to conclude peace,
bnt ttlito ari equally 'definite program
of the Concrete application of thbSe
principles, 'the representatives of the
Central Powers, on their part, pre
sented an outline of settlement which,
if much less definite,. seemed suscept
ible of liberal interpretation until
their specific program of practlca\
terms was. added. That program pro
posed no concessions at all, either to
tho sovereignty of Russia or to the
preferences of the populations with
whose fortunes It dealt, but meant, In
a word, that the Central Empires
were to keep every foot of territory
their armed forces had occupied? every
province, every city, every point of
vantage ? as a permanent addition to
their territories and their power.' It
is* a reasonable conjecture that- the
general principles of settlement which
they at first suggested originated with
the more liberal statesmen of Ger
many and Austria ? the men who have
begun to feel the force of their own ?
people's thought and purpose, while
the concrete terms of actual settle- ?
ment came from the military leaders,
who have no thought but to keep what
they have got The negotiations have
been broken off. The Russian repre
sentatives were sincere and in earnst
They cannot entertain such proposals
of conquest and domination.
The whole Incident Is full of signifi
cance. It is also foil of perplexity,
With whom are, the Russian represent
atives dealing? For whom are the rep.
resentatlve* of the Central Empires
speaking? Are they speaking for the ,
majorities of their respective parlia
ment* or for the minority parties, that
military and imperialistic minority -
wfliob has *o'ufar dominated their
trfcole policy and controlled the affairs
of Turkey and the "Balkan State, wnlch_
have UHt obliged to become their asso
ciates in this war? The Russian ref*
resentatives have Insisted , very justly,
very wisely, and in. the true spirit of
modern democracy, " that the confer
ences tbey have been holding with the
Ten tonic and Turkish statesmen should
be held within open, not closed, dioora,
and all thewortd has been audience,
as was desired. To whom hdle we
been listening, then?- To those who
speak the spirit and Intention of the
resolutions of the German Reichstag
of the ?th of July last the spirit and
Intention Ihe Liberal leaders and .
parties of Germany, or to those who
reirfst and defy that spirit and Intent
Hon, and Insist open conqneat and fenb
Jugation? Or, are we listening, la
fact to both, nnreosndled, and ib open
ud "nunf ire*'
iwj wrtau'ttd
