London, Nov. 9th.—Mr. Lloyd George in his addre s at the Lord Mayor’s ban- quet at the Guidhall tonight discussed briefly and pointedly various prcblems with which the Govt. is dealing. He nlung- ed immediately into Foreign Affairs and appeal~d for patience and faith in the world settlement, declaring that the_ higlest wisdom demand that prejudices and dislikes be kept under control if Eu- rope is to be saved from beeoming a welter of raging hatreds., With regard to Germany, he declared himself per- sonally ‘pleased with tne proposals of that counfry for the liquidation of her obligations. Coincidentally Mr. Cham- berlainfannounced in the House that Ger- "~ many had placed a large amount of bonds in the hands of the reparations ~ commission. The Premier spoke op- ~timistically of Ireland, intimating that the situation there was well in hand. ~ Referring to questions between Ger- ““many and the Allies, Mr. Lloyd George ~ said that the real test ofGermany’s sin- ~ cerity was disarmament and he added, ~ ‘“‘the report I have to give on that sub- ~ Ject is very satisfactory. The German ~ army is rapidly gging reduced to 100,000. ~ There are stilltoe many. rifles at large _in Germany, but they are a greater men- ance to Germany’s peace than to Ger- many’s neighbours. Apnother important point was reparations. Germany is pre- s pared to submit certain proposals for the liguidation of her obligations and" personally ] am pleased with them. They will be considered at the conferences andit is satisfactory to note that Ger- many realizes: that-her first duty is to ~ repair the devastation the German ar- " mes wrought. “1 wishI could speak as “hopefully of the Russian problem where ~ we have to-‘'do with men 'professin the . ‘‘Red crazy temper of Balskevism'’, who ~ fail to realize how -impertant it is they &should respect their- obligations. He re- ferred briefly to the industrial situation and the recent coal strike, express- ing the belief that there is better temper now all round. Spegking .of the Irish ‘situation the Premier said “‘Unless I am mistaken I do not pay too much attention to detailed ac- . counts _disturbanres and what they call the horrors of reprisals given out by the participants who siur over the horror of murder, there will be no real peace, no conciliation until this murder conspiracy is scattered. We are getting the right sort of men and we are dispersing the terrorists. The Govt will seek further powers if necessary te deal with the situation. If it is war, as the terrorists say, then they cannot complain if the Govt/ em- ploys some of the rules of war against them.”” He referred to his offer to ~ discuss any proposals with anyvone able ~ to speak on behalf of Ireland, saying, “If I had given that invitation in the middle of the~war, I might have had a response, but giving it to Ireland no man dare to respond. They are inti- midated. You must break the terror kefore you can get peace. What the Govt. is offering lreland is a partner- | shipin the greatest Empire the world has ever known, at the height of its power”’ : Minneapolis, Minn.,Nov. 9th. —For the ‘ first time ip four years flour vvas sold un- ' der the ten dollar a barrel mark at the | mills here today.
