SPEECH BY PRIME MINISTER
SEA SUPREMACY ASSURED. CONFIDENCE IN RUSSIAN LEADERS. Australian and N Z Cable Association and Reuter. LONDON, September 7. In a speech at Birkenhead Mr Lloyd George said the whole allied cause for the freedom of the world depended on our sea supremacy, which, he was certain, would be more than maintained. ' The, figures which he recently gave in the House of Commons regarding submarine activity were absolutely correct. They had put an end to the enemy's hopes. The Russian leaders were repairing under fire the revolutionary mathine, and he was confident that they would finally succeed. His chief concern was not the effect which Russia's failure would have on the war but its effect upon the cause of the world's democracy. Germany had only now decided to invade Russia because all her other methods and machinations there had failed. The crisis in Russia should be viewed hopefully. He believed that Russia would recover and play a great part be'ore the end of the war.
