reczived

More than

tzorge
was
sur-
rounded
by Lord Birkenhzad,
Mr. Anstea
Chamberlain
an:dd
som2
of the other
men
who
were
Miaisters
to his cabinet.
Thoe
former
Premizi
launched
10to
nis
speeen
with
an
answer
to
Mr.
Bonar
Law’s
characteriz:tion
of bhim
asa
‘‘drummer
poy’’.
He declared
he
was
not ashamecd
of
this
descripion,
and
added,
amidst
cihcers,
that Garmany
lost
the
war
be-
cause
sue
had
no
“‘drummer boy’’.
Re-
ferring
to
the
conservative
watchword
of
tranquility,
Mr.
Lloyd
George
d=-
clared
that
a
poiicy
of tranquility
w
s
dangerous,
"'li's
not
a
pohey,
it's
3
vawn’’,
he
said.
‘Tue
acnlevements
¢
the
late
Governmant
in
industrial
¢
ad
financial
realms
were
not
the results
of
a
mere
negative
p
licy,
they
were
Lhe
fruits of initiative and
hard
work,
he
de-
clared.
He
emphasized
that
a
tax-on
capital
must
ba resisted
firmiy,
adding
that
he
did
not
anticipaite
any
great
danger froin th:
revolutionary
eiemecats
in the coming
¢lectioas.
‘'Avoid the
ex-
treme
of
socialism,
bat
do it
us
avoid
extreme
standstillism’’,
he
said.
‘A
great
nation
like ours caanot
stand
still.
You want
a strong
group of
independent
m>n,
free
from
party
tiss,
and
stirong
enough
to
1
sist
on
2
steeuy
middle
course
free
fron
all
extremes’’.
The
speech
is
interpreted
by
many
political
experts
as
a
strong
piea
"tor
the crea-
tion of a
cencre
party
1n the
new Pariia-
ment.
He
said
that
wnere
there
was
a
pact
between
the
conservatives
and
the liberals
in any constituency,
he hoped
tne
voters
would stand
by it
honourabiy
and
in distriets,
where
no
such
mutual
positive
agreements
had
been
reached,
he suggested
that
candidaies
sonould
be
carefully questioned,
as
to
whether
they
were prepared
to
place
the
interests
of
the nation
bes
re
those
of any party.
Mr.
Licyd George
declared
that
it
was
vital
that
the socialist
attack
he emphatically
repelied,
adding that although
the
muni-
cipal
elections
had
shown
this
danger
was reithcr
so great
nor
so
immirent
as
apprehended,
there
was another
danger,
namely,
that
the
majority
in
the
new
Parliament
might be
lorced
into
a
reacts
ionary course
vy
a
powerful
and
deter-
mined
minority and
that
was,
he
assert-
ed,
the
real and
imminent
danger.
1f the
attitude
of Mr. Lloyd George’s
audience
and
that
of
the
throngs
of people
clus-
tering
about
the
doors
and
seeking
ad-
mission
are
any criterion,
he
has
by
ro
means
lost his popularity,
even in London
where
most of the
criticism
of
the
late
government
centred.

ROCK FBLLER LOOKS
BACKWARD
Celebrating
at
darrvtown,
@ Y. the
nniversaiy
ot
the dav
in
1833 when
he
't
his first regu’ar
job, Joan
D.
Rocke-
, long
credited
with
being the rich-
_st
man
in the
world
but
now rivaled
by
Henry
Ford,
talked
to
his
friends
and
neighbors
of
his
past
life
of
achievement.
He
was
16 y¢
en
he
got that
job and
was
living
leve-
land.
For
six
weeks
he
tramped
the
streets
looking for
work.
He got
a $4-¢-
weck
Jjob
at the end
of that
time, and
1f
he
had

wou
d have
kept
on
look-
iny.
I'nat
was
the
lesson
the
old financier
wisbed
to illustrate
from
his
own
career
—determination.
Many
a
boy
would
have
become
discouraged
before
six
weeks
of failure.
Another
lesson
taught
by
his
youthtul
experience
was
thrift,
for
the
flockefeller
boy saved
a part
of
his
weckly
$4, and
contributed
another
part
of it for Sunday
school
and
mission
work.

of generosity
has
