To Mr. Boner Law's statement already recorded we must add
the fact that, according to various messages from Paris, Mr. Lloyd George has " cancelled " his arrangement to meet the Irish-American delegates on their return to Paris. Since you can hardly cancel what you have not agreed to, this would appear evidence that the appointment was made. It is also stated by the delegates that the interview was never asked for by them, and that its cancellation does not in the slightest degree alter their plans ! If this is true, it would seem that Mr. Lloyd George forced his favours upon visitors who had as little respect for him as for the nation he represents. This seems to be the full inter- pretation. of Mr. Boner Law's statement that the Prime Minister " thought it would be rather an advantage," itc.
