WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF GERMANY WINS .David Lloyd-George Says If England Loses freuton Would be World Die tator. Bangor, Wales, February 28.-The chancellor of the exchequer, David Lloyd-George, made a pointeg/refer ence to the UnitedbStates in a speech here today. "it Germany is triumphant over this country," he said, "she would be 'prac tically dictator of the world. And where," he said, "could we then look to a chivalrous country to protect us -to-America? "If countries like France an Russia, with huge armies, and we, wlth the most powerful navy in tile world, could not 'race this terrible machine, how could America stop in? It would be more than America could do to defend her interests in lier own continent. America Is more unready than we were." The cliancelolr then took up tile liquor and Industrial questions. "Tile government has wide powers to deal with the drink question, and it ieans to use them," delared the chan cellor of the exchequer. He said i! smiall minority of the workmen iII the armament factories had refused to work a full 'week because of the lure of drink. The government would use its pow ers discreetly and in a spirit of moder ation, Lloyd-George asserted, but "fearlessly." lie was sure the public would support whatever action was taken and allowed no indulgence to inl terfere with the country's prospects inl the war. "The 'war," lie said, "is to be won or lost by the engineers. We need men, but we need arms more than men, and every day of delay Is full of .peril to the country. For one reason or an other we do not get tile assistanec we have a right to expect from our work shops. Industrial differences are in evitable, but we cannot afford them now. "It is intolerable that the lives of Britons should be imperilled for the sake of a farthing all hour. During war governments should have tile pow er of settling difficulties so that work shall go o1. f 1 men are entitled to more money the government should give it. I do not believe the parties involved will rofuse to comply with the urgent omimland of the government. that there should be no delay." E"xpressing confidence in tile out Com of the war tile chancellor said tile people of tie country hardly real ized yet. the importance of the strug gle inl wilelh they were engaged and warne(d th1em1 tlat victory colld llot be% won without. a long strulggle. lie de1claredI0111 that 1 whi lglanld hafd (9n rolle( the largest volunteer ariy ev er gatheled inl any country or in anlv century, it ougit to be larger still.
