RUSSIAN TREATY.
FAKfi AND FOLLY. . «Y CABLE—PRKSB ASSOCIATION OOVYB<(1H LONDON, Sept. 10. In a speech at Penmaenmawr, Mr Lloyd George denounced the Russian treaty as a fake and folly. The Premier had been held up by Socialist gunmen. It- was an act of criminal carelessness to guarantee huge sums to be spent by the organisers of anarchy. The Liberal Party would forfeit the respect of the nation if it shirked the challenge, and the Government Avould suffer an unparalleled defeat if it appealed to the country on the treaty. Mr Lloyd George supported the Government’s Irish policy and approved the. recently published letter of Lord Birkenhead, Avhich interpreted the boundary clause of the Anglo-Irish treaty as meaning only a-minor frontier rectification, and said he could not imagine that the eminent . South African judge called upon to interpret the treaty AA'ould come to an unreasonable decision', which AA r ould tear up Ulster’s territory.
