POLITICAL AMENITIES.
"CAD"' AND "DIRTY SNOB." MINISTERS AND STOCK EXCHANGE GAMBLING. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, April 1. In the House of Commons, Mr. J. R. Ketby Fletcher (Unionist member for Altrincham) asked Mr. Lloyd George whether his salary (£5000) was insufficient to prevent him gambling on the Stock Exchange. The Chancellor of the Exchequer hotly replied: "You had better say that in a place where it can be the subject of a prosecution; then I will meet it as I have met others."
An angry scene followed, the Laborites and others calling Mr. Fletcher "dirty snob." Mr. Lloyd George called out "cad."
