“Get on the Land!"
LLOYD CSORCE’S PROGRAM
FAIR PLAY FOR ALL. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] London, December 23. Mr Lloyd George, speaking at Pwelhett, repudiated the idea that his land programme is merely a votecatching device. For every twenty shillings paid by the farmer in wages he paid over 2os as rent. Ho want-
ed fair play for all. but the landlord was no more essential to agriculture than a chain to a watch, and the Government’s plan was to place the parasitic interest last. The Tory alternative was taxpayers' money for the landlords to build cottages to keep the tenants under their thumbs.
Referring to immigration, Mr Lloyd George said that the life-blood of the country districts is being gradually drained and poured into the veins of now lands overseas, where laborers are better treated.
