"The impression I formed from the reports of British officials with
in Germany," the- Premier said, "substantially is the impotence of the
government. The British government has never proposed as a means of
compelling Germany to fulfill the terms of the treaty that she should
starve. Her food situation now is deplorable."
The conversation then turned from Germany to Turkey and the
United States. Mr. Lloyd George said:
"We are very sorry sincerely sorry that the United States govern
ment is not taking part in the settlement of the Turkish questions. We
need the advice of the United States. It would be impertinent for me
to say a word of criticism concerning the American detachment. I will
not do so but I will only say that we have real need of America. The
Americans would come to consideration of the Turkish problems without
the entanglements and committments of the European government and
you could give us views from a fresh angle. If yon were to say 'this is
what we ought to do we should be likely to do It."
