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,
