LONDON, Aug. 10.—-“I am still hopeful of peace,” were the opening words of Premier Lloyd announcement in the house of commons today in re- George’s gard to the Russo-Polish crisis. Lloyd George declared the tack ¢w not justified in the British government, jet government, in any conditions peace, was entitled to take count facts of attacks made by the Poles upon Russia and that those at- tacks were delivered despite the warn- ing of the allies to Poland. The So- viet, he declared, was entitled to de- mand such guarantees as would be ex- acted by any power against a repeti- tion of attacks of that kind. What was. challenged, he said, was that “nothing justified retaliation, reprisal or punishment which goes to the ex- of wiping out our national exist- that the tent - altogether from the moral right of any power to demand the ex- tinction of another nation as punish- ment for the aggression of its govern- ment,” Lloyd George said. ‘Europe has to be considered.

Kepartition of Poland would not mere- ly be a crime; it will be a peril, and we /have to consider both these con- tingencies &s"a basis for cur policy,” “he premier declared that the sole purpose of the allied policy was to se- cure peace on a basis of independence for ethnograpical Poland. He said the Hythe conference agreed that the al- lies should advise Poland to endeavor to negotiate an armistice and make peace as long as such independence was recognized. That recommendation also has been forwarded to the Soviet government, the premier stated. FRENCH RAILROADERS YHREATEN STRIKE. (By Associated Press.)
