LONDON. April 1<>— Premier Lloyd
(leorge, replying to the House of Com
mons criticism of his activities at Par
is, today, in a special communication,
declared that the situation was s*il!
full of perils for all countries and
pleaded that those trying to do thei •
best be let alone.
The British Premier said that no
conference in the history of one world
faced problems of such a variety, com
plexity. magnitude and gravity.
“The Vienna Congress was the nea»
est approach to the present, * says
Premier Lloyd (ieorge, “and that ( or.
gross took eleven months to transact
it's business. The Vienna eon fere nee
sinks into insignificance when compn -
cd to the Paris conference.
“The League of Nations pr ovides *t
means for adjusting, any possible er
rors. Amer'ca and Kin ope are not at
variance. I believe that military inter -
vention in Russia would be the great
est act of stupidity and prefer to leave
the Rolshoriki to work their own wa*
out, if they can, or else call for help.”

greatly interested in kite flying.
Everyone, from the king down, flies
his kite on pleasrnt afternoons. TPs
king, with a rope of silk half the sizo
of his finger guides a huge silk star
