Lloyd George Says British Are Hopelessly Divided on Reparations Action

Former Premier Tells of Battle of Pens and Typewriters. By DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, Former Premier of England. Copyright, 1923, By United Feature Syndicate. LONDON, Sept. I.—The pen and ink joust is to be suspended for a fortnight whilst the figures of British unemployment are leaping upward. When the exhausted British knights have been reinvigorated by French waters, they will once more charge full tilt at the French champion—at least they will have made up their minds by then whether they will shiver another fountain pen against his blotting pad. This is the advice ponderously and pompously tendered them in inspired articles. So far the French nation Is jubilant that M. Poincare has scored heavily on points. He is a defter penman and, moreover, he does not delegate his draughtsmanship to a committee of ministers all holding irreconcilable views as to how to proceed, when to proceed, and whither to proceed, and amongst whom there is no agreement except on one point—that no one quite knows what action to propose. Up to this last reply they cherished the vain delusion that the French could be shelled out of the Ruhr by reproaches which were both querulous and apologetic. That is not the way to shift continental statesmanship from its purpose. French Better Informed The French foreign office is better informed as to cabinet divisions in this country than are the British public. It knows that the prime minister and the foreign secretary dare not take measures which will hamper French action in the Ruhr. When the Tory die-hards placed cooperation with France in the forefront of their program they honestly meant it. For them it was not a mere manoeuvre to unhorse the Coalition. They cannot therefore support an attitude of resistance to French pressure on Germany is to them a continuation of the evil of the coalition they overthrew with the help of Mr. Stanley Baldwin and Lord Curzon. They will not tolerate it. That explains the importance of British diplomacy in a situation which is so critical to our existence as a great commercial people. The cabinet can agree on wordy notes. They are hopelessly divided as to action. They have therefore dispersed for and wide to search for fortuitous guidance hither and thither—some in the tranquility of their English country' homes, some in the healing springs of France, some in the mists of the Scottish moorlands. Mayhap one of tbem will bring home a policy aceptable to his colleagues. Refuse to Move Inch It is all very humiliating to the Empire that raised 10.000,000 of men and spent 10.000,000,000 pounds of its treasure to win the war. The net result of the voluminous correspondence on which our rulers have concentrated months of anxious wisdom and unwearying hesitancy is that the Allies whom we saved from destruction refuse to move one inch out of their road to secure our friendly companionship. They are marching resolutely in one direction whilst we are shambling along in another. We have traveled long distances from each other since January last, and we are now altogether out of sight of the position we hqrld in common when we met the Germans at Cannes early last year. The Entente has never been more cordial than it was then —it has never been more promising of hopeful partnership for the peace of the world. But M. Poincare had no use for the dove of peace. He wanted to fly his falcon. He had trained and bred it in the French farmyard, and there it has brought down many a domestic bird successfully. When his chance came he flew it at the wounded German eagle.

Entente Brought I>own Quite unintentionally the hawk has brought down the Entente also. It may not be dead, but it has made its laat flight. Henceforth international arrangements will be on a less exclusive basis. France is irrevocably committed to the exploitation of the Ruhr by force. That is what pay or stay means. To that policy the majority in this country are definitely opposed. If the die-hards in the Cabinet were by any chance to win, and either Mr. Baldwin surrendered or resigned in favor of a Poincarist administration in this country, neither he nor any possible successor could carry the country along into the Ruhr venture. But for a fortnight nothing is to happen—except the spread of unemployment in Britain, and of despair in Germany. At the end of the fortnight will there be a surrejoinder to M. Poincare's rejoinder? It is a suspicious circumstance that those who were once resentful and scornful of conferences should now be clamouring for one. both here and in France. The reason is scarcely concealed by ardent advocates of the resumption of “picnic diplomacy.” At the old conferences so it is contended, France was invariabily forced to give way. Now she can. and will, command the situation. FAHNLEY WILL PROBATED Fortune of $650,000 to Be Held in Trust for Heirs. An estate valued at $650,000 left by the late Frederick Fahmey. vice president of the Merchants National Bank and the Indiana Trust Company, will be held in trust for his daughters and grandchildren, under the will filed In probate court.
