LLOYD GEORGE —MAX OF DESTINY.

THAT Great Britain has found a master in the person of Mr Lloyd George is the opinion being freely expressed by latest arrivals from England on Tuesday. Dr. A. K. Newman, M.P, for Wellington East, said Mr Lloyd George was the long-sought-for Alan of Destiny, and all Great Britain, every man and every woman, was behind him. “Whatever he says, goes. He can say anything and the people at once respond, as quickly and as obediently as an army obeys a general. The crowds of people who used to curse that ‘damned pettifogging little Welsh attorney’ are now his willing, faithful army of unquestioning hackers. Lloyd George orders and Great Britain does as he orders. 1 bought papers formerly hostile to him after lie overthrew the Asquith Government, and none sneered.. All agreed he was the man they had all wanted.” The Lloyd George Ministry had delighted the people because he chose the biggest business men in Great Britain to manage the different departments. Lloyd George in picking his Ministry cut adrift from old traditions; and picked men

for their abilities and for no other reason. He was the head of a

wonderfully aide Cabinet —the ablest in Great Britain’s history.”
