MR LLOYD GEORGE ATTACKS PREMIER. LONDON, April 22. A feature of Mr Lloyd George’s speech at Llanfairfcchan was the sharp attack on Mr MacDonald, whom he advised to wrap a wet towel round his head. He then'thought he would discover the Conservatives were seeking to turn him out of office as quickly as possible whereas tlie Liberals were willing to help him to do well. Only a lunatic would deliberately make enemies out of friends.
Mr Loyd George, in continuing said: “Mr MacDonald was trusting to big phrases, but I have not got the intelligence to understand them. So far Labour has been busy stitching and patching the old suits which the'coalition of Hie Liberals and tlie Conservative .Governments left behind. Labour gave us tho impression that they would sweep away all vested interests. They are not all capitalists, some are Labour. He concluded that it was folly to spend strength, temper, zeal, enthusiasm and ardour in fighting those who were eager to help instead of combining to exterminate the foes of mankind. REBEL MARTIZ GETS THREE Y EARS. CAPETOWN. April 23. Marita has been sentenced to threeyears without hard labour for high tracKon by a special court of three judges under the Presidency ol Judge Gardiner. Marita pleaded guilty. The President said the court believed that accused, who went into rebellion .was actuated by a desire to secure the independence of South Aii'iea, hut having’ that desire .Marita should no, have accepted a. position in the defence force.
Judge Gardiner described as a most serious feature of the case the accused's persuading young men of the defence force under his command to rebel and the handing over of loyalists to the Germans. The Court considered that though a stern example was necessary in the time of war, peace now reigned. and accused had suffered through the years of exile from his country, while follow offender'; were released after a comparatively short imprisonment.
