LONDON, Thursday, Doc. 5. In
tho detailed ro-xlutomont of Ills pol
icy, Issued by Prom lor Lloyd-Goorgo
today, calling for tbo trial Mid pun
ishment of men responsible for tho
war, however high their place, be
pludgnd tbo outlrr, influenca of tbo
llrlllnh government nt the ponce con
ference to soo that Justtco was done.
In declaring for the expulsion of nil
enemy aliens from llrltlsh soil, tbo
premier pointed out that u consider
able proportion of enemy residents
In tho rolled Kingdom during the
war lind abused llrltlsh hospitality
and thus hud forfeited tholr claims
to remain.
In bis statement Lloyd-Goorgo
said :
To Pmswiito KiiImt
"Tho kaiser must bo prosecuted.
Tbo war was a hideous, abominable
rrlmo. n crlmo which lias sent mil
lions of tho best young men of Kur-
ope to death and mutlnttou nnd has
plunged myriads of homes Into deso
lation. "Is no ono responsible? Is no one
to bo called to account 7 Is thero to
bo no punishment? Suroly that Is
neither God's jusllco nor man's. The
men responsible for this outrage on
tbo human raco must not bo lei off
because their heads wero crowned
whon they porpetrutod tho deed.
"Tho llrltlsh government referred
llio quostlnn of tho criminal culpabil
ity of tbo kaiser and bis accomplices
lo tholr lnw offlcors somo weeks ago.
Thoy havo unanimously como to tbo
conclusion that tho kalsor and bis
accomplices ought to bo tried by an
International court. They also re
ported strongly In fnvor of the pun
Isiimont of those guilty of murdor on
tho high sens and tbo abomlnablo Ill
treatment of prlBonors."
In ono passage of his program,
that dealing with moasuros for an In
crease of British output, Mr. Lloyd
Gcorgo says:
llolshevlsm Poison
"Thoro Is ono condition for tho
success of nil efforts to Incronse the
output of this country, narnoly, con
fidence, llolshevlsm is tho poison of
production. Hussla proves Hint, Hus-
In will not bogin tho building up of
a productlvo system until Uolsbevlom
bus worked Itself out."
All classes must glva confidence
to thoBO who huvo brains those who
bnvo capital, to those with bonrts
Mid bunds do work. I say to labor:
You shall havo Justice. Your chil
dren shall havo equal opportunities
with the children of tho rich." To
capital: 'You shall not bo plundered
nnd ponnllzod. Do your duty by those
who work for you nnd your future is
froo for all the ontorprlse or nudnclty
you enn glvo us.'
Hut thero must ho equal Justice,
and labor must have happiness In Its
bonrt. Labor must havo Kb Just ro
ward."
Mr. Lloyd George In bis statement
doscrlltos the oxtoiiBlvo provisions tho
govornmont proposes for discharging
Its obligations to the gallant soldlors
nnd sailors alike Jo tho fallon, tho

with tbo housing nnd other problems

liam Royurd Hale, an American about-
to visit Berlin ns a newspaper cor
respondent, because he was employed
bv the Hearst pbpcts. which, the mes
sage said, had. outspokenly placed
themselves on the German side.
Bielaski told the committee that
Hale was on the Hearst payroll f or
$.100 n week and also was employed
at $15,000 a veor bv a publicity or
ganization formed in tins country bv
Dr. Bernard Dernburg. the German
propagandist. . I .

Beilnski said Germany never suc-
ceded in seducing an American offi
cial "if we except Congressman Buch
anan of Illinois, who got mixed up
with Von Rinfelcn, in labor's peace
council."
Suggesting on June 2. 1916. that
the time was favorable "to get Hearst
to send a first rate ournnlist to Ber

fice t!int the man selected wns Hale
who, he said, had been a confidential
agent of the embassy since the be

such by contract to June 23. 1918.
"Hearst," the ambassador's Mes
sage said, "is not aware that Hale Is

Hale, according to Bielaski. was
paid bv the German government to
visit Rumania and, if possible, prevent
entrance of that nation into the war.
Mr. Hearst, Bielaski said, was ignor

ter mission.
Following is the message of June
2. sent bv Bernstorff through Buenos
Aires nnd Stockholm:
"In conformity to vour excellency s
wish I suggest that the present is

PARIS, Dec. G. (Havas.) The
inter-allied conference nt Paris to

open December 17, nccording to tho

1918. In mnking this arrangement
tbe main idea was that Hale would
be the most suituble man to start the
re-organization of the news servico
after peace on the right lines. ; !
Give Hale Preference
"I request full confidence may be
accorded to Hale, who will brine with
him a' letter of recommendation from
me to Dr. Hammat. Hearst is not
aware that Hale is our agent, but
knows him onlv ns a Gcrmanopbile
journalist who has contributed lead
ing articles to papers." -. ' . . ....
Another message, dated ..June 5.
1910. said: ,
"Hale tells me and Hearst confirms
that tbe latter is rather hurt that on
j Wiegnnd's account the World gets all
th-; important Berlin interviews.. I
recommend that under suitable cir
cumstances Hule should, for obvious
reasons, be given preference, as
Hearst organs have during the course
of war always placed themselves out
spokenly on our side."
From the oairv of Dr. Karl A.
Fnehr. a German agent brought to
America bv Von Bernstorff, was pro
duced a paper labelled "important
list of names," which. Mr. Bielaski -
aid, contains "practicaly all who
were nctivelv pro-German prior to
our entrance in the war and a few
who were active afterwards." . 1 ;
