Sh Lloyd George’s Proposal of League Action Upon French Policy Falls on Deaf Ears Abroad. LONDON, Feb. 20.—(By |The Associated Press.) — |Scant hope for British inter- vention at this time in the dis- pute between France and Germany is to be gleaned from Premier Bonar Law's speech in the house of commons last evening. The premier concluded the debate on the joint liberal amendment to the | address in reply to the speech from the throne calling upon the leaguesof nations, with the help of America, to investigate Germany's ability to pay reparations. The amendment Was lost by a vote of 305 to 196, 1 The prime minister,” answering jfome of the points of David Lloyd George's appeal to Great Britain and «smerica to save France from what he termed a dangerous position, -in- formed the house that intervention by @ league commission as proposed jin the amendment would be consi ered by France as an act of hostility. He asserted that the government's policy was to keep British troops on | the Rhine “as long as possible.’ | Replying to Mr. Lloyd George's | contention that France had blundered seriously and that America and Great Britain were called upon to act Mr. Bonar Law said that he too did not approve of the French step, but that opposition. apparently . could accom- DUsh-little.or nothing inasmuch as jthe ride of France in forcing the | Germans ‘to terms had been aroused. He pointed out that France already | had refused to look kindly on inter- vention by the league, and suggested that she would hardly be inimical to | Such a utep now. Mr, Lloyd George, whose sojourn “in the wilderness” has resulted in no tmpairment of his parliamentary presence, declared that the French action was both short sighted, un- fortunate and unwarranted, and that | the way was open to disaster. He asserted that the collection of repara= tions was evidently not the only } object France had in view. : Arguing for the motion, the former prime minister said he was asking Mr. Bonar Law to take immediately, and with the co-operation of thé | United States, a step calculated té save the situation. : Wealthy America, he declared, atilt had a share in the responsibility for | Present conditions because morally it had accepted the entire altuation. Mr. Lloyd George expressed the opinion that France, confronte1 by | the United States and Great Britatg | could not fail to Usten to nations that | had put her in the position of com- queror, He entreated the govern- } ment to take the initiative, first by approaching the United States and | then with that country approaching France. Although the sentiments embodied in the joint amendment undoubtediy were approved by o majority of the house, its passage would have repré sented censure of the government and would therefore have meant the government's fall. | | ——— sty ‘TRAIN SERVICE IN Py RUHR CURTAILED. “ PARIS, Fi 20.—(By The Asso- | elated Press.—An official statistical picture of the occupation of the Ruhr was before the French public today jin the f of a statement to the for- | eign tions committee of the cham- ber of deputies by Premier Poincare; Expulsion of high German officials | from the occupled region total 338 of | whom ‘ave been Rhineland | functionaries, Seventy trains a day are being (Continued on Page Bight.)
