Mr. Bullitt then went on to say that he was
astonished later when he read Mr, Lloyd George's sneeeh in the House of POSTAGE ABROAD Commons of April 16th. In that speech Mr. Lloyd George stated that though he had heard reports about a possible tuiderstanding with Russia " these had never been put before the Conference by any member of the Conference at all," but he remembered that " there was some suggestion that there was some young American who had come back from Russia." " All I can say about it," Mr. Lloyd George added, " is that it is not for me to judge the value of these communications, but if the President of the United States had attached any value to them he would have brought them before the Conference and he certainly did not." Naturally enough, Mr. Bullitt, who was an accredited member of the American Peace Delegation, was offended at Mr. Lloyd George's casual reference to " some suggestion that there was some young American." He had been asked to breakfast and had talked the whole matter over with Mr. Lloyd George as Mr. Lloyd George has since admitted.
