Prime Minister Says He Would
Not Impose Upon Germany
More Than That Government
ment Has Capacity to Pay.
London, Oct. 25. —Former Premier
Lloyd George opened the campaign
in London today in what is termed ‘a
fighting speech" at an enthusiastic
meeting' of coalition liberals of parlia
ment.
The former premieh threw down
the gauntlet to the conservatives and
reinterated his intenton o support
any par£y anil any governmena of
peace, economy and steady progress,
neither revolutionary, nor reactionary,
ami does it efficiently” former Prime
Minister Lloyd George told the coali
tion liberal members of parliment at
a meeting this morning.
In another part of his speech, he
made the declaration:
“Great Britan must pay America
all her debts.”
Unity of action between Great Brit
ain and the United States was urged
by Mr. Lloyd George in Jiis speech.
“I am for the League of Nations,”
lie said, ‘‘but until you get the United
States and all the great and small
nations into it the league will be
crippled and cannot serve its fulp
purpose.”
America and Great Britan must
work together."
On the question of German repar
ation, he said:
I'We should not attempt to 'im
pose upo n Germany and payments
which is beyond her capacity. Wrat
is within her capacity slip ought to
pay.”
He expressed himself with some
definiteness as regards the question
of Russia. “I am strongly in favor
of the renewal of a pact with Russia.”
. he declared.
. Dealing with Great Britain’s for
eign relations in general, he said.
“It is said G.reat Britain is not
going to extend her responsibilities.
But you must net he afraid of your
responsibilities. The policy of Great
Britan must be peace loving, but un
afreaid. Tf I stand alone, I will re
sist any departure from it.
“I will never let Great Britain down.
I will not stand by or for any man
we must not offer it any factions op
position. There must be no nagging
criticism. There must be fair play.
“We are told that he new gov
ernment is a government of tran
quillity. In what respect does a poli
cy of tranquillity means any change
from the existing conditions of things,
then it is (bad.
“We have made peace in Europe,
we havp.made peace in the near East
What does the new policy mean?
Its no use using words unless they
mean something.
“I am all for cooperation with
thp allies, but Great britan hr><-
her own mission i n the world and
her oyn mission in: the world and
she must stand by it.”
Dealing with home affairs, he de
clared the first purpose of any gov
ernment in its policy at home must
he to do everything to improve trade.
“Stern economy is esential,’’ he add
led. “and I ask that the new chancel
lor of the exchquer shall pursue the
policy of the old. McKenna says
hingt are worse. I know Mr. Mc-
Kenna, and quite frankly, he was the

F. E. TWITTY URGES BETTER
ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS
(By F. E. TWITTY.)
Brunswick has now within her gates
two visiting ministers who are among
the best preachers in Georgia. They
are here to o“break the bread of
life” to our ipople. T refer to Dr.
■Charles A. Lane, preaching twide
daily at the First Methodist church,
and to Dr. L. E. Roberts who is preach
ing at the First Baptist church. When
the laymen of the different churches
that agreed to participate suggested
this series of meetings they realized
>that Brunswick,like all citites and
communities, greatly needed a spirit
ual revival, and we hope that some
how pur people would enter whole
heatedly into the spirit of the oc
casion, and rally to the support of the
pastors and churches in this great
movement, but in this way have been
disappointed. For a week one of the
strongest preachers in the Presbyteri
an denomination, Dr. Cleveland, of
Jacksonville, was preaching at our
Presbyterian e.hurch.
