s.ondon,
Feb.
10th.—Aftrer an adjourn-
ment
fo?lowing
cne
formal
opening
of
Parliament,
hoth
Houses
re-assembled
for
the
debate
on
thz King’s
sceecn.
Before
the
debate
began
Mr.
Lloyd
George
announced
that
he
would,
at
an
early
date,
ask
leave
to
introduce
2 Bill
“to amend
the provisions
for
the
Gov-
ernment
of
Ireland’”’.
The
Premier’s
announcement
of the
probable early
ap-
pearance
of
Home
Rule
measure
was
greeted
with cheers.
Replying
to gener-
al criticisms
of the Government
..ade
by
Mr.
Adamson,
the
Labonr leader,
Sir
Donald
Maciean
and
others
who
de-
manded
especially
a
revision: of the
Ver-
sailles
Peace
lreaty,
Mr. Llovd
George
declared that it would be
impossible in
a
single
speec.
to deal
with the
guestion
# lot

S
raised.
However,
he would remark that
after the
excitement
of
a great
war
no-
body could expect
anything but a
period
of reaction
gnd discontentment
and even
a certain
measure
of dissatisfaction.
Al-
luding
to Ireland,
the
Premier
asked
whether
Mr.
Adamson
meant ty ‘‘self-
determination’’
that
if the
majority
of
the Irish people demanded
a
repablic
he
woull
give
it.
Unless
Mr.
Adamson
meant
that,
the
Premier
said,
the
talk
of
self-determination
was
dishonest.
There
were
murders
and
assassinations
of
the
most
cowardly
kind
in
Ireiand,
the Premier
told his
questioner,
and
he
askel
the member
whether
he
thought
the Government
should
withdraw
all the
troops
and
leave
assassins
in
charge
of
Ireland, declaring
that
the
duty
of the
(Government
was’' the
mainteaance
of law
and order
in Ireland.
The Premier
then
turned
to the high
eost
of living,
which,
he said
was attrg)u‘iable
to the
d=precia-
tion
of
money,
And
not
to
orofiteering
and
he
declared
that
the
only
remedy
was
the
increas2
of
production.
Re-
ferring
to an
enquirv
from
Sir
Donald
Melean,
the Premier
said
he
was glad to
be
able
to say
that
the
coming
budget
would balance
and
more
than
balance.
Dealing at length
with
the situation
in
Rusgia,
Mr.
[.lovd George
said
that
he
agreed
with the view that
Europe
could
not be
restored
without
putting
Russia
with all her strength
and
resources
into
circutation.
Bolshevism
was possibly
effi-
cient, but it was
not democracy,
and Russia
must be restored
under
an anti- Bolshevike
regime.
Bolshevism
canno®
be
ecrtushed
by foree of arms.
and I held that
opinion
a year
ago,
but
my
advice
tendered
on
that assumptior
to the
warring
sac
ions,
was
declined.
It
was
necessary
to give
the
Anti- Bolshevists
a chance
to
recover
Russia,
but they failed.
The failure
was
not due
to
iack
of equipment,
but
the
more
fundamental
causes.
The
Premier
contended
that the suggested
‘‘Ring ~f
Fire’” to
crush
the
Bolsheviki
was
im-
possible,
bacause
it was doubtful
whetn-
er Finland
sould
eonsent,

States.

out,

making
peace
with Russia,
while Rumania
was
~iready
engaged
in watcning
the
Hun-
garian
front,
and
the
Japanese
were
disinclined
towards
the ides.
Moreover,
he
added,
neither
France,
the
United
States,
Italy,
nor
Great
Britain
were
willing to provide
the
funds until, added
the
Premier,
rhey
are
assured
that
the
Bolsheviki have -dropped
th2 methods
of
barbarism
in faveur of civilized
Govern-
ment.
No civilized Goverament

peace
with

Fuarther,
thereis
no
established
Government
possessing
the
vight
to
speak for the whoie of European
Russia.
We
failed te restore
Russia
to saaity by
force, but

we
can
save
her
by
trade.

tries.
or
the
midlie
east,
bzcause
the
Bolsheviki
cannot
crganize
a
powerful
army.
[believe that
trading will bring
to an end
the
ferocity, rapine and
cruel-
ties
of Bolshevism
more
surely
than
any
other
method.
Europe
badly
needs
what
Russia
is
able
to
supply,
but
cannot
supply
with
contending
ar-
mies moving across
her borders.
The dan-
gers
are
not all in Russia,
they are here
at home.
I speak
with
knowledge,
with
apprehension
and
with resporsibility,
and
I warn
the
House
that,
in
the
face
of
things
which may happen,
we
must
use
every legitimate weapon.
We
must fight
anarchy
with abundance’’.
