Llojd George's Methods
In the Peare Conference nt Paris the
world has had n chance to see how
Lloyd George nets. . Perhaps tho moRt
amazing thing he 1ms done was to de
mand recently the rcmnking of the
treaty offered to Germany, lu the In
terests of moderation. Just before the
i Pence Conference met nt Paris Lloyd

ul(mle ,x"e c"','" ,, , " i"re
I presented by the Pence C onferencc was
most ncute. And for reasons already
given in a crisis the head Instinct re
asserts itself.
Lloyd George chose wfsely. A man
without a party he succeeded in achiev
ing n larger majority in the House than
nny premier cer had before. In n
crisis men can not think. In a crisis
men can not dhidc. Nothing counts
except expediency and Lloyd George Is
expediency.
At the time of that campaign Lloyd
Georgo held out before the British
electorate the idea of a punitive peace
against Germany. L n good politi
cian ho avoids precise language. Even
a major prophet uses words suscep
tible of a do7cn interpretations. Dur
ing all the pence negotiations until rc-
centl he held firmly to the plan of
miikiug Germany pay. making it pay a
crushing sunl making it lie under n
burden of indebtedness from which it
could not rise, especially rise and com
nete with British manufacturers. His
chief financial adviser nt Paris, an
English banker of world-wide reputa
tion, started out by demanding that the
Germans should pa ?120,000,000,000
in reparation.
His Right -About Face
Today it is Lbd George who Is
leading the fight to make the burden
upon Germany lighter. The whole of
England in December seemed to demand
a harsh pence with Germany. The
whole of England, too. protests against
the peaio which was actually drawn
up. and for the seerity of which Lloyd
George was so much responsible that
President Wilson once called for the
George Washington to take him home
to the United States as a sign of his
protest ngainst the altitude of the
British premier.
And so now Lloyd George has
changed sides and is

An Englishman who knows Lloyd
George well says the latter Is made anx
ious by the first day of criticism In the
British press. The second day's crltl-
cism shakes his 'position, and the third
day's makes him change sides.
It Is related that an Influential edi
tor, wishing to force him to take a new
position, oucc advocated an extreme
development of that position. He did
not wnut Lloyd George to go so tar as
his newspapers did, but ho thought
that Lloyd Georgo would compromiso
if sufficiently hammered and go half
way, which was about as far as tlic
editor wanted him to go. But the
premier surprised the, editor by incon
tinently abandoning his former attitude
ami embracing with ardor the whole
demands of his critics.
His Uncertain Geography
A little story illustrates the way
Lloyd George nets. An American jour
nalist removed some time ago from
Herlin to Paris. He was a man ot
standing in his profession who had had
excellent opportunities of observation in
Germany. Lloyd George sent for him
to have the benefit of his inlormauon.
The conversation turned on Silesia,
one of the points of dispute nt pres
ent, but a part of the country to
which no one nt Paris attached par
ticular importance at the time of the
Americans' return from Berlin.
"Let mo see," said Lloyd George,
"which is it. upper Silesia or lower Si
lesia that we have" just gieu to Po
land?" "Now Silesia is one of the great
points in tho British premier's indict
ment of the treat. It is incidents
such as this which led a leading Amer
ican financial expert to say the other
day privately :
"Tho tronhle with the treaty is it
was made to sui; me poiiuvui miswui.ho
of the British and the French."
Sas Wilson Shifts Position
It is the same idea that the British
have in mind when they say that "Wil
son talks like a major prophet and
acts like Lloyd George." The shifts
of position between the two men have
been remarkable. Iu general it has
beeu Wilson who has been advocating
a lie and let live treaty with Germany.
Now it is Llojil George, and It is Wil
son who is the strength of the opposi
tion to changes. WiKon has nn oppo
sition Congress on his hands and must
get home. Members of the American
delegation say "we told them all along
that they were making hash of the four
teen points, but they would not listen."
Or again "all along the Americans were

reminds one of the moment when Lloyd
George, fresh from England, fished the
fourteen points out of the presidential
waste basket and held them up before
Wilson, insisting that the Poles should
not get Danzig. Wilsou graciously

yielded that time to the Hrlton's su
perior acquaintance with the points.
He may do so again, it is not clear.
But everybody lias contributed to rank
ing the trenty lu the light of his domes
tic politics,
Wilson, perhaps, has never run in to
Lloyd George nnd shoucd him a signed
agreement of the Republican majority
in Washington, saying "Sec what Sain
is up against I" as Lloyd George did
when .100 British members of Parlia
ment signed n round robin demanding
a punitive peace. Major prophets do
not do it that way. But the difference,
as the British indicate In their saying,
between a major prophet and a minor
prophet is the difference between the
splendid hut not entirely ingenuous ges
ture of calling the George Washington
to Urest and tho .infirm motion that
preceded it when Lloyd George went
about showing his telegram from the
300 members of Parliament.
Politics at Pcaco Table
Nothing is what It seems nt Paris.
Nominally this was a meeting to set
up a confederation of the world, to es
tablish perpetual peace and justice.
Actually the sharpest concern nt pres
ent is to electa Democratic President of
the United States; to continue Lloyd
George's control of England, and to
insure a conservative successor of
Clcmenceau, agreeable to thp Tiger.
Peacemaking, which used to be the
trade of diplomats, is now the avoca
tion of politicians. Theoretically the
people arc inakiug the peace. Actually
Lloyd George insisted on trying to con
ceal from his own people the terms of
peace until it should be signed and ho
awoke the keen resentment of his as
sociates in the Big Four when ho per
mitted his people to find him out.
M. Clemenceau has hidden the truth
better, but probably a sharp reaction
awaits him. The rumble In Pnrfi is
ominous. The gathering of troops here
indicates that M. Clcmenceau knows it
is ominous.
The Big' Four are big only by cour
tesy, nnd by comparison. The only big
thing is what is going on in the minds
of the mnsses the thing which makes

knows what that thing Is. One mo

symbol of the Peace Conference.
Lloyd George's Acts Worth Study
How Lloyd "George acts Is worth
studying. International government has
been set up. It Is certain to resemble
the Peace Conference. It Is going to
"act like Lloyd George." In fact, he
Is the only figure In it that promises to
be permanent. Chnnenccau will go
and soon. Orlando will not delay' long.
Wilson financial men here tell us the
United States wilt get richer and richer,
anyway, no matter what happens. With
that assurance, the natldn will probably
turn from Wilson. Lloyd George will
go on because he "acts like Lloyd
George." And the present moment of
criticnl uncertainty in England, pcr
haps in all the rest of the world ex
cept the ITnited States, certainly de
mands men who act like Lloyd George,
who carry no such burden of convictions
that they cannot shift and shift quickly.
