LONDON. Feb. I. David Lloyd
George, Chancellor of th Exchequer,
took occasion thla afternoon, when
making a speech at tb City of London
Liberal Club, to declare that the re
ports of a split in the British Cabinet
were entirely unfounded. He also as
sured his audience that the alleged
feud between lmself and Premier As
qulth was a myth.
gpeaklng on the reduction of arma
ments, he aald he believed that the
present waa an advantageous moment
to consider the question. It was in the
Interests of France, Germany, Russia
and Great Britain that there should
be a better understanding. He con
tinued: "I believe that with candor, frank
ness and boldness It is attainable. The
world would be richer for It. Taxes
might be reduced and the money which
would ba saved that is now spent on
armaments could be devoted to develop
ing the resources of the country and
improving the condition of the people.

peace on earth and good will among
men."
