POLICY OF SURRENDER
Mr. Lloyd George Angry AMBITIONS OF DICTATORS LONDON, Dec. 14. "We have riaden the Rotten Row of surrendel* for flve years and got no further," declared Mr Lloyd George to-day, speaking on foreign affairs. "Japan wants to found a gigantic military Empire," he said. "She is well on the way, and has already 200,000,000 or 300,000,000 in that Empire. Soon she will have 500,000,000. "In Rome, you will find a gigantic map of the Roman Empire, showing North .Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Greece and Spain. "Mussolini's speeches make it clear that the restoration of the Roman Empire in the Mediterranean is part
of his programme, and he is carrying it out. What is his liuge army doing in the Libyan desert — not keeping down a few tribes. It is on the border of Egypt. "When the dictators have finished in China and Spain can you guarantee what will happen in Egypt and Palestine, the Sudan and North Africa. "Germany, Italy, and Japan know that once they have bottled up the Mediterranean, Britain will be jeopardised and will not dare to fight. Yet we have allowed Fascism in Spain; we have allowed Italian arms to go to Spain in the interests of a man who is going to have the same control over the Mediterranean as Julius Caesar had."
