Gives His Views on Germany and De- mands for Reparation Payments— | Thinks Dr. Simons Is Honest. Birmingham, England, Feb. 5.— | Premier Lloyd George, in a speech here today dealing with the recent meeting of the allied supreme council said that before the last election he laid it down | ! that Germany was morally bound to | pay for the wanton/damage she had in- | flicted, but that one could only et from | | & debtor what he was capable of pay- | {ing. He asserted in this connection | that Germas must not be allowed to pay in a way that would injure the | | country recelving payment—by cheap | goods, for example. Mr. Lloyd George pointed out, with regard to the problem of exchanges, that Germany, being temporarily bank- rupt, represented a baffling difficulty to the cxperts when it came to the ques- | tion of her paying outside her own frontlers Or. Simons, the German foreign minister, was an honest and sincere statesman, and he had said that he meant to carry out Germany's obliga- tions if he possibly could, continued the premier Mr. Lloyd George said his advice to Germany would be to accept the bill and not aliow herself to be misled by passion and repeat the follies of 1914. Germany, he pointed out, had not yet taxed herself to the level of Great Bri. tain and France and he considered it intolerable that the guilty country which has escaped damage during the war, should also bear a lighter burden of taxation than her victims. Dr. S8imons had the right to present | alternative proposals, the premier con- ceded, but if these proposals represent- ed a mere attempt to avold payment the all ould not tolerate them.
