Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain denies there are dissensions between France and England regarding : guarantees for France against Germany. He declares that the understanding between the two governments is complete and that England is "ready to make fresh sacrifices, if necessary, to se cure the peace and independence of France." The interview was sought, says a 1 lavas summary of it, because of the rumor recently in circulation to the ■ effect that Great Britain would op pose in the Peace Conference the French demands for guarantees. Discussions Necessary All hough discussions were neces sary to settle the knotty problems frequently brought to the attention of Ihe conferees, Lloyd George is quoted as saying the understanding between the two nations remained absolutely unimpaired. "We wislt France to know that it is the will of the British people; that France should have complete security for the future," the British Premier declared. "I have seen the scourge of war twice loosed on France by Ger many," the Premier told the Petit Parisien. "We do not intend that ' there shall be a third time, and j should it be fifty years hence. France I again will find England by her side 1 with all her wealth and power: for, - mark well my words, the wild beast ! must be ntiistered. 'lt it mastered at present, but it 1 one i'uy it raises its head ready to ' spring, it will find itself again faced ! by France and England, united in j brotherhood." Heady to Make Sacrifices Even if it were fifty years hence, j the Premier added, England would! be ready at that time again to make sacrifices for the French if Ger-, many should let loose the scourge of war on France for the third time, j The aspirations of Denmark are j regarded favorably by the Peace j Conference, the Matin says. Indi cations arc that Denmark will re cover the part of Schleswig-Holstein which she desires.
