THE NEW WORLD.

MR LLOYD GEORGES MOMENTOUS MESSAGE.

LONDON, Sept. 13.

311- Lloyd George has addressed the following. message to the people of Britain, through the national puullcation entitled “The Future,’.’ issued under his authority and which he distributed free throughout the country on Monday. .

i “Millions of gallant young men lfought for the new world. Hundr-.;-ds ‘of thousands died to establish it. _.l.‘c' ‘we fail to honour the promises gt"; en ‘them, we dishonour ourselves. ,W'he.*. ldoes a new world mean‘? What was,the old world lilieil It was a world ‘where toil for myriads of honest work’ers—znen and women——purchased nothing better than s(lua.lor, penury, anxiiety, wretchedness; a world scarred t by slums, disgraced by sweating, where (unemployment, through vicissitude of lindustry, brought despair into multiStudes of humble homes. It was a world 3where, side by side with want, was walste of the inexhaustible riches of the earth, partly through ignorance and lack of forethought, partly through entrenched selfishness. If We renew the lease of that world, we will betray the heroic dead, we will be guilty of the baset perfidy, and may store up retribution for Ourselves and our children. The old world must, will, come. to an end_- No effort can store it up longer. If any feel inclined to maintain‘ it, let them beware lest it fall upon and over-~ whelm their households in ruin. It should be the sublime duty of all, without thought of partnership, to help in building’up a new world where labour will have its just reward. .rnd indolenee suffer want.” ‘
