ENDURING PEACE
WORLD INSISTENCE
LLOYD GEORGE SPEAKS
(Reed. Oct. 23, 9 a.m.) LONDON. Oct. 21
Addressing his constituents, Mr. D TJoyd George declared that his support of peace was viciously misrepresented. Fie said that he would not retreat a step from his policy of standing up to the dictators, but the nation could be as firm in conference as on the battlefield.
“If we entered a conference to-day it would no longer be Munich with the British and French forces unready,” he declared. “On the contrary, if the discussion showed Herr Hiller to be unaccommodating, we could quit with a clear conscience.
“The British cause in essence is a just cause and we cannot surrender without covering Britain and her Empire with dishonour and incurring the contempt of the world. Wc are not a beaten nation—far from it. and 1 am far from recommending that we should beg for peace at any price as if we were vanquished.
“We must aim at a peace that will be enduring. It is difficult to accept Fieri- Hitler's unsupported signature to any agreement.”
