dence,
when
Mr.

states
contrary
to
what
I
have
now said,
he

told
a WILFUL
LIE.
'
:
I rfeel forced
to call the attention
of the
authorities
to the fact, that it #r Hodge’s
s- calied
lectures
bhave
not reached
the
staze
of valgarity,
it is fast approaching
it, in so
much
that
the Pslice
had
to call
him
to
order
on
the
same
evening.
I
hope
very
soon
to
hear
that the Police
has
taken
the
proper
sieps
to
rid
the

Former
Premier
Clemenceau’s
newspaper
‘'L’
Homma

Mr. Lloyd George’s
cynicism_passes
all
measure
it
is
an
invitation
te massacre
the
Poles
for
the
greater
glory
and
profit
of Germaay’.
L Humanite’’

of Mr. Lloyd George
as meaning
tnat
French
capitalists
will
occupy
the
Ruhr
and
that
Poland
as

c¢f

'‘Behold
Germany
ail but
deprived
of
all
its in-
dusiries,
behold
B'rance
assured
of
first
place
in
Europe’’
it
says.
'This
was
the
real
significanc:
of
Mr.
Lloyd
Gaorge’s
diseourse’’.
[ne
words
of
Mr.
Lloyd George
are
described
Ly
the
**Kelair’’ as
‘‘brutaiity
against
France
and
intended
to
encourage
German
troops
to immediately
cross
the frontier.
The ‘‘Journal’”’remarks,
‘‘the least
that
ean
be
drawn
from
the
English
Pre-
mier’s speech
is that it
is
dangerous,
as
it misleads
Germany
into
believing
she
will
get
what
she
desires
which
cer-
tainly she
will not.””
The
‘‘Petit
Pari-
~
sien”’
declarted
Mr.
Lloyd George
was
~
playing
the
game
of
Germany
and
de-
)
nied the truth of
the
assertion
that
the
|
indigenous
population
of
upper
Silesia
|
was
'German, |
'"'Ne
one’’,
it
sdded,
"has
the
right
eithe®
in
England
or
|
France
to disregard
the rules
of common
|
sense
and
coolness.””
‘'France
does
nut
permit her
hand
to
be
forced’’, declar-
ed
the
**Echo
de
Paris’”’
and
will
not
|
mermit
t e industrial districts
which
has
|
come
to
her
eastern
ally
to
be
taken
|
away
from
her.””
The
majority of
the
|
newspapers
were
inclined
to think
that
the words of Mr. Lolyd George
exceeded
I
bhis thoughts
and the "‘Journal’’ asked
it-

the
