"It is," said Mr. Lleyd George, " just,like the earth
boiling before its old crust had settled down. . . . You have this racial lava-surging right through.the surface of .Europe.." Referring to the Treaty between Germany and Russia, he said.: " Anybody who• imagines that you can permanently by any combination keep down these great peoples, representing two-thirds of Europe, .Must be either:blind or blinkered. It is-an impossibility. It is folly. It is insanity. You must arrive at an understanding which will include the whole of these. peoples. If the agreement was not universal there might be a hungry-Russia equipped -by an .angry.Germany." Finally Mr. .Lloyd 'George spoke -with deep regret of -the absence of -America. -He-predicted -that she would inevitably be drawn -sooner, or later into close contact with European affairs. " America would always come fresh, free, independent, ..disentangled,, and with:so authority ,which comes from a great position, and her -voice would -be the voice of peace."
