In the House of Commons on Tuesday Mr. Lloyd George
reviewed the recent work of the Supreme Council. We have written elsewhere about the reference of the Silesian question to the League of Nations, and need not reproduce what Mr. Lloyd George said on the subject. He remarked that the danger from Germany which haunted France was exaggerated, as it would not be possible for Germany to build up great armaments in secret. This fact and the realization of the ruin which had been brought about by the war were France's real security. Germany was making an honest effort to meet hrr obligations and had already paid substantial sums in reparation. With regard to the Russian famine, Mr. Lloyd George said that an International Commission was being formed " to study the possibility of rendering immediate aid,' but we have written on this subject also elsewhere and will say no more here. The remaining important matter upon which Mr. Lloyd George spoke was the war between Greece and Turkey. Both sides were too confident, and the best policy was to allow them to fight it out until war taught them respect for hard facts.
