Fake and Folly
THE RUSSIAN TREATY. LIBERAL OPPOSITION TO RATIFICATION. (Received 11, 1.55 p.m.) London, Sept. 10. In a speech at Pcnmaenmawr, Mr Lloyd George denounced the Russian treaty as a fake and folly. The Premier, he said, had been held up by socialist gunmen. It was an act of criminal carelessness to guarantee huge sums to be spent by organisers'of anarchy. The Liberal party would forfeit the respect of tho nation if it shirked the challenge. The Government suffer an unparalleled defeat if it appealed to the country on the 'treaty. Mr Lloyd George supported the Goverenment’s policy and approved of the recently published letter of Lord Kirkenhead's, which interpreted the boundary clause of the Anglo-Irish treaty as meaning only mioor frontier rectification. He said he could not imagine an eminent South African judge called upon to interpret the treaty would come to an unreasonable decision which would teat up Ulster’s territory. —(Reuter).
