to learn from them. down to the

Too Many Jin tantieme nts.
Mr. Lloyd George's argument wad:
that the great powers, oxcopt tho
United States, already had loo many,'
entanglements to bo able to supply
forces to the league to create an in-j
ternatlonal police torce large enough;
to coerce, for lntance, Russia or Po-:

) ContrQcry Arlscri. '
I A controversy arose between George
N'lcoII Barnca, former minister with
out portfolio, und the premier, the for
. mer complaining that no pressure had
'been applied to Poland. Mr. Lloyd
George retorted with the assertion that
three great powers, from the very ta-
Me at which they were sealed, made
j 1 cpreaenlutious to Poland beforo her
attuek on Uussia was started, but
without effect.
I Asked why economic pressure was
tnot applied the premier replied;
I "Such pressure has already been ap-
plied to a point where the Russian
I people are starving; ft Is Impossible to
; apply it more."
The premier contended the same
principles applied to Armenia and tho
Dardanelles.
Thing is Impossible.
"It Is impossible." he stated, "for
the league to call Into being any forces
not already existing. What would hap
pen If ou asked America or Franco
I to supply troops and they refused "
Quebtloned why tho league had not
(established control over the Darda-1
j nelles. Mr. Lloyd George ooiuted out
that France and Italy hail been un
able to spsro the forcos which they
engaged to supply to control the wat
erway. Must we go to war with
I France to compel them to keep their
obligations?" he asked. 1
J They Know lSngiuc. j
If the members of the deputation,
the premier observed, had worked the!
I engine from the in9ide. as ho and Mr. I
i Balfour had done for the last e!gh-
teen months, thoy would bolter rea-;
Uze tho difficulties encountered in'
bringing the league into full opera
tion. Mr. Balfour then asked the deputa
tion where the league's International
force wqh to be kept should it be
Saint Helena, or, perhaps, Labrador.
Certainly, ho declared, If it were kept
in France it would not fight Franco
and if kept In England It would not
fight England.
Premier Lloyd Georgo confessed he
was not qulto convinced that an Inter
national nrmy was the best method of
preserving peace, but emphasized it
us his belief that any attempt to force
peace would only destroy the league.

Every other Bchool and public build

I saw long lines of haggurd, miser-1
