London. May S. (Ily A. I.) -The
peace terms, while receiving consider
able npprovnl from almost the entire
London press, do not osenpo from sharp
criticism on certain points. The objec
tions center mainly on tlie question of
financial compensation from Germany.
Some newspapers ate dissatisfied be
cause thev consider the terms too se
vere. Others think they nre not severe
enough.
Tlie Morning Post thinks (ici ninny
will not nooopt unless under ilures, and
sas "the indemnity conditions are un
satisfactory nnd do not fulfill Uie elec
tion promises of the Itritisli govern
ment." The Daily Mail (owned bv Lord
Northclifloi fears Great Itritnin will
find the terms veiy far short of the
pledges made by Pieniler Llojd Cieorge.
It adds:
"If the summary actually represents
the text, the provisions nre good on
the military and naval side, hut dan
gerously full of loopholes on the linnn
r inl sjile,"
The tiealv is described by the Daily
Telegraph as stern and stringent
Ihrnughoul. although without u trade
of the brutal eenise of nieie vie
loiious folic. "It is rigidly a peace of
justice." the Telegraph adds.
The Hailj Chinniele thinks (lie con
ference missed an opportunity ns re
gards Poland.
The liealj embodies the most se
vere sentence ever passed upon a great
nation, the Daily News (n Northclifl'e
organ), snvs, ami continues:
"Gerninn.v is handcuffed and in
irons from top "to toe. She appealed to
them It is hnrdly nn exag
geration to say thnt (iermany is first
stripped naked and is then told to turn
out her pockets." v
The News argues thnt but for the
covenant of the league of nntlons the
treaty would not be a pence, bill n
truce.
Tho Herald, the labor organ, roundly
denounces the whole treaty, saying:
"There is no honor left for any of
us. The league of nntlons Is n body
without soul. President ilson lias
been beaten. lie conipioiuised on essen
tials, nnd, therefore, the details have
gone nstrny.'
