HITS LLOYD GEORGE SLUR ON POINCARE Herbert Adams Gibbons Says| ~ Comparison With Lincoln Is Not Fair. 4 By the Associated Press. PRINCETON, N. J Some of David Lloyd George's Ameri- can utterances were challenged last night by Herberi Adams Gibbons, author, war coi../pondent and fov- merly American .ecturer in France for the French foreign affairs min- iatry, In &n addres to the staff ‘of Princaton 17 vorsity's daily paper. “Why sh Lloyd Georgo be v contiasting Poincare with 0 the discredit of the fof< mer?" askrd Mr. Gibbons. The speak- er then pointed out that the’ vecon- struction problems of Lineolp. and the French premier were nat simiflar: that Lincoln had refused 10 accept anything less than uncondi= tlonal surr nder and continued to throw armies into the south until the rebellious states were at the ercy of his generals. He said Lincoln did not adopt a policy of conciliation un- Ul the Confederates had placed them- selves unreservedly In his power, “To present the French as different from ourselves and actuated by a spirit of vengeance does not!appeal o us as a message for 4 statesman of onec friendly nation to bring {0 us concerning another friendly.na- tion.

Tour Seen Help to “L. 5" In Move to Regain Premiership Coincidence of Visit With American Ges- ture Toward. Reparations. Tangle Likely to.Impress Britain. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. David Lloyd George will leave for England on Novamber 3 immensely ortified in his ambitions to recapture the British premlership. Hls admir- ers and political constituents believe that “the little Welshman's” month in North America will have material- 1y advanced his fortunes. They pin their confidence mainly on the coin- cidence of the British statesman's presence in the United States and the remewal of America's readiness to sssist in solving the reparations crisis. Both friends and foes of “L. G.” are likely to call it the newpst manifesta- tlon ‘of “Lloyd George luck” that al- most at the moment he was advocat- ing more active American co-opera- tion with Europe ' occasion was tak- en In London to restate the conditions on which it may be had.

G.” is to regain the premfiership, it would be on _entirely different grounds. Some issue directly associated with the burning question of reparations would_be the horse on which “the little Welshman” would ride back to ower. His triumph would not be popular in France, but if It was more or less directly associated with a resumption of American activities in Europe, that would in British estimation more than compensate for the disaffection |of the cross-channel power. = Lloyd George's major “talking point” in the lUnmd States has been an Anglo- i American entente.

Mr. Lioyd George's Interest In the test developments is plain. His pporters may be relied upon to suggest that his strong pleas in the United States were manifestly not without effect.

There is universal agreement that his welcome everywhere has been almost unprecedentedly warm. There are frequent comparisons with the recep- tlon accorded M. Clemenceau last winter, and veually they are In favor of the Welshman. But Lloyd George speaks English like a veteran Ameri- ©an campalgner and has been able on that account to rouse his sudiences to pitches of enthusiasm not Achieved by M. Clemenceau. Limit to His Influemce. Hardly any one thinks the former British premler has actually influ- enced American foreign Jnl ey, de- spite the synchronizing of his mi sionary efforts with the Coolidge ad- ministration’s pronouncement through Ambassador Harvey. Our reparations program is reaffl at's all. On the other principal item In Mr. Lioyd George's American program—that i a closer working arrangement be- tween Britain and the United States— nothing definite, of course, has been accomplished. There {8 a presidential election im- nding in America and there is an rish and a German vote. It is not the season for a cautious Admints- tration, anxious o perpetuate itself, to enter into forelgn ententes of ui derstandings, .no matter how mnone entangling. A3 to the league of n tions, Mr. Lloyd George's subtle ret- erences to the United have made no impression wha n ad- ministration quarters, On the world 1,807 court the British visitor has not touched to any notable extent. The United State government, as was recently indicated at the White House, does not forget that Mr. Lioyd George is an entitrely unofficial per- sonage. It would be a violation of all the proprieties for the adminis tion ta enter into anything but the most informal and unoMcial conver- sations_with the former British pre- mier. s, moreover, an avowed candidate for the leadership of his government, 8¢ Presldent Coolidge and Secretary Hughes, who are both cautlous men, may depended upon to “watch their step” with even more than ordinary elreumspection in con- tact with the brilllant stranger from ‘Wales.

Immo- ely behind him came Dame Mar- garet Llogfl George, Miss Megan Lloyd George, t! charming young daugh- ter, and members of the former prime minister's party. Third Assistant Secretary of State Butler Wright, Counselor Henry Clinton of the British embass! other officials of the Britisi &mbassy were the first to greet him. The military and naval attaches of the British embassy, wearing their flashing uniforms, lent a touch of mil itary splendor to the sceno. A score of wecret wervice men, Washington detectives and station’ palice care fully guarded the distinguished vi itor until he was landed safely at his sulte in the New Willard. Créwds Cheer Ex-Premier. Five hundred enthusiastic men, women and children fillled the east ond of the station concourse and gave the British statesman a vociferous welcome as he emerged from the sta- tion by way of the President's door. Another crowd cheered him as he en- tered his automobile, and the jam around his car became so thick that the machines were delaved five min- utes in starting for the Willard Hotel, A score of automobiles fell in behind the offici: through city. instead of following the ususl di- rect, but less attractive route, down Pennsylvania avenue, the Lioyd George party was taken out to the t side of the Capitol, down Muary- 1and avenue to the Smithsonfan In- stitution, through the Mall, around the Washington Monument, around the tidal basin to the Speedwey, around the Lincoln Memorial to litn street, around the Kllipse to Penn- sylvania avenue and thence to the north entrance of the Willard Hotel.

At both entrances of the Willard Hotel large crowds awaited the for-, mer premier, and when his car drew up the enthusiasm of the people car- . ried them past police lines. Before half a dozen officers could stop them the people had completely surrounded the visitors' cars, and It was neces- sary for Lloyd George to practically fight his way, through, every man and - woman seeming bent upon sheking his hand or calling a word of wel- come.
