PACT URGED BY LLOYD GEORGE Naval Understanding More Important Than Its Terms, He Declares. By the Associated Prese. CAMBRIDGE, England, August 2. —Former Premier David Lloyd George declared the belief here yes- terday that if Great Britain were at- tacked unjustly by another country she could look to the United States Navy for support. Mr. Lloyd George also stated that he strongly favored a naval under- standing with the United States and would impose no limits on such an understanding. He thought the fact \hat there was an understanding would be of almost more importance m&n the conditions, because it was nnceivable that England and Amer- ica \ever should come into conflict. Cites “Inevitable Fiasco.” statements were in answer to questions asked by members of an audience at the Liberal Summer School, who had just heard Mr. Lloyd George assert in a speach that the tripartite naval conference at Geneva had been conducted to an inevitable flasco. John Maynard Keynes, bursar of King’s College, Cambridge, who was principal representative cf the British treasury at the Paris peace conference, asked whether Mr. Lloyd George would agree that the more ships America built the safer England would be. Lloyd George replied that he would not like to put it in that form. He would not like England to -lepend on any other country for its defense. Formally States Views. He would agree, howaver, to this extent—that so far from American The: and his family. The flyer arrived in Cleveland yes- terday afternoon on his national air tour. It was estimated that 300,000 in all saw him, either at the airport or along the 25-mile route of the parade that followed his arrival. Lindbergh will leave for Pittsburgh tomorrow.
