ST. CROIX STATION.
London,
May 21st.—Mr.
Lloyd George
in the
course
of an interview
on his arri-
val
here
yesterday
dweit
mainlv
upon
what
he characterized
as
the most
dram-
atie spectacle
ever
witnessed
at any
con-
ference,
whepr
he
representatives
of
more
than thirty nations
rose
and
solem-
ly pledged
themselves,
in
the face of the
world,
to
non-ageression.
‘‘We
must
remember’’,
he added,
‘‘that only a few
weeks
ago armics
were massing
on fron-
tiers,
extending
for
thousands
of miles,
with
the
evident
indention
of marching
against
each
other
and
by the
Genoa
vonferenee
their march
had
been
arrest-
ed”’.
The Premier
declared
himself
abso-
lutely convinced
that
the Russians
were
sincere
in
their
desire
for pacification.
He also
confirmed
the report
that
he is
not going to the Hague conferznce.
The
message
delivered
to him
by the Duke of
Atholl was
as follows.
‘‘Mr. Prime
Min-
ister I have been commanded
by the King
to welecome
you home,
in
his
name,
and
to express
His
Majesty’s
hope that your
health
has
not suffered from your arduous
and
prolonged
efforts
in
the
cause
cf
peace
and
the
economic
reconstruction
of Europe’’.
Aceording
to the Duke,
the
Premier
was
so overcome
by
the warmth
of his
welcom»
an?
the
King’s message
that bis
only reply
was
to
squeeze
his
hand
until he
made
his fingers ache and
say
‘‘tell him
hcw
much
I
thank him.
Tell
His Majesty how greatly I appreciate
his kindness’’.
Mr. L cyd George looked
exceedingly
well.
