Mr. Lloyd George in the House of Commons on Thussday
week read the text of his reply of July 28th to the Bolsheviks. In this note, drafted at the Boulogne meeting with M. Millerand, the Prime Minister defined his proposal for a conference in London, on the assumption that the Bolsheviks would cease from attacking Poland and would conclude an armistice. The conference, he said, must include Poland and the other Border States as well as the Bolsheviks. Its first object should be to re-establish peace between Poland and Russia, "upon conditions which would secure the independence of Poland." It would then consider the questions outstanding between the Border States and the Bolsheviks. It could then proceed to deal with "the re-establishment of normal relations" with the Bolsheviks. Mr. Lloyd George assured the House that M. Millerand agreed to this Note, and that Italy's standpoint was the same as that of the British Government.
