DAKOTA COUNTY HERALD, DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA'. r K f i 1 1 1 i t h ft VJ 1 ECONOMIC PACT RELATIONS BETWEEN U. 8. AND BRITIAN DAILY DRAWING CL08ER TOGETHER. . tHREAT BY BRITISH PREMIER Lloyd George Telia Germany the Longer she Refrains from Perma nent Peace Conditions the Sterner Will Be the Terms Applied. Washington, D. C Premier Lloyd George tolls Germany that tho longer she. refuses to rocognlzo tho tenatcs -of a permanent peace for which tho allies aro fighting the "sterner will bo the terms' Imposed upon tho onomy. This is the most Important statdmont which has como from allied quarters with referenco to tho conditions of peace since President Wilson address ed congross last December and has Jn It a wealth of moaning. Mr. Lloyd Georgo, howovor, reveals what tho Germans may solzo upon as a weak ness In tho allied position when ho says America and Great Britain ro not yot in agreement as to tho econ omic power they aro to exert for tho eako of a durable pcaco. It is truo tho Washington government has ox prossod no opinion of late, but tho truth is tho oconomic strength of this country 1b going to be ono of tho big gest weapons of tho war, and that tho United States and Groat Britain aro dally growing closer together, so that tho day is not far off when tho two English speaking democracies will have mado a bUBlnosa partnership which will moan tho altruistic and equitable distribution of raw mate rials for freo nations. What Germany Can Expect. If Germany refuses to accept tho conditions requisite to membership Jn the family of nations she will bo excluded from raw materials and markets. If sho manlfosts In her government and her actions a spirit of democracy that is a firm guarantee that tho provisions of tho peace treaty nho signs will not bo a Bcrap of paper she will stand on tho same footing as all othor nations in gottlng tho raw materials with which to sustain her economic llfo. Germany has been uneasy of lalo bocauso of the threats of oconomic - discrimination and hor press has ro flocled that uneasiness, isut her thoughtful atatosmon havq qulotod tho leans of tho socialists somewhat by sayjng that as long as the United States is not committed to a policy of oconomic discrimination Germany has nothing to worry about, m tho cupidity of tho American business man will not bo swayed by sontlmont. Undoubtedly Premier Lloyd Goorgo had that in mind whon .ho stressed tho importance of some statement from America about tflo famouB ParlB economic conferenco, or at least an exposition of American policy from authorltativo sourcos, KILLED AT CAMP CODY.
