MR. LLOYD-GEORGE SEVERELY CRITICISED, By Telegraph—Press Aseociation~-Copyrii!iit .. (Ree. January IC, 0.23 a.m.) London, January 15. Lord Clinton, speaking at Mancliester, said that it seenx?d to hint that Mr. Lloyd-Gcorgc's land campaign was not going very well. A Hew cry was wanted to raise, tho spirits of Mr. LloydGcorge's faltering followers; lictico he was |*oiitK'to have a iiav.Y»bmstiug earnpaign. Tlio Clianccllor's intervention in tho naval situation at this juncture was iinstatesmaiilike, and mischievous. These inopportune incursions by Mr. Lloyii-George into international politics were a clanger to the nation. Lord Cufzou criticised tlie suggested naval holiday as an extremist's plan; such a one-sided reduction was an encouragement to our enemies, and a betrayal of our fripnds. There was no evidence that humanity had so altered that tho country could afford to listen to such counsels. ■ . , An increase of power rather than a diminution, addod the" sneaUer,'"wa's lfccer.sary, and if the Government joined the Little Navy Party, British naval policy could no longer be treated as a question above party strife.
