Addresses Vast Crowd
in Farewell Speech——
Says Only U. S. and
Brim Can Restfie
Peace
ISEW YORK. Nov.. 3.—‘America
was called upon by David Lloyd
George in his farewell address in
the new world last night to aid the
British Empire in reeping the peace
of the world.
“You respOnded to; Europe's need
inilfll‘r'.” he declared "But the work
is only half done, and if not com—
pleted civilization is doomed with-
in this generation toa. catasthrope
such as the world has never seen."
Speaking to a brilliant audience.
the former British Premier discussed
conditions in Europe, declaring to
these who say “keep clear of the
wreckage." "yes. but there are mil.
lions underneath." ‘
' "Follow through and keep your
eye on the ball,’ 'pleaded the little
\Veishman in acclaiming the Hughes
proposal for an international com-
mission to solve Europe's repara- "
tions tangle.
Every one of the 3.700 seats in
the Metropolitan Opera‘house was
taken and for each seat there were
100 applicants.
Many of those who were unable
to crowd into the vast auditoriim
camped at home around the radio
with the former premier were
Irving T Bush. Chairman of the
meeting; John \V. Davis. former am-
bassador to Great Britain; Sir V‘Vil-
liam Sutherland of England. and R.
A. C. Smith of New .York.
“W'hat is the real problem in Eu-
rope today. 'I will tell you. In spite
of the war. because Europe has been
‘It so much to herself, she still be-
lieves in force? Why?
France says: "Justice never gave.
Alsace Lorraine back. We had to
lose one million of our young men.
You in the British empire had to
lose 900. 000 young men. Force gave
it back to us.’
“Poland says force came at the
end of 160 years and unlocked the
door of our nationality.
"The Russian peasant says today:
'We never saw the light of liberty
until the revolutionist came with his
powder and blew our prison walls
down.’
"What does Germany say? Ger-
mamsays: "We trusted to justice.
We trusted to treaty. We are broken:
we are shattered. Why? We are dis-
amd. We have no force.‘ _
“That is why Europe believes in
force. That is why Europe believes
in violence. '
“What is the remedy? Give Eu-
rope the conviction that right is su-
premerover force; Who is to do it?
There, are only two countries “ on
earth who can establish that convic-
tion. and those are In the United
States of America. and the British
