CORRESPONDENCE.

• 'A GREAT MAX TO THE RESCUE. To the Editor Sir,—Thank you for Teprinting on October 4 a report of what was said in the Queen's Hall, London (on August 4 being the third anniversary of the declaration of the war) by that little Welsh lawyer, Mr. Lloyd George, Prime .Minister of Groat Britain and Treland. It was a great occasion, and splendidly did the little Welsh orator utilise his splendid opportunity. -Many members w the Government were present, including the Lord Chancellor and tjie new 1-irst Lord of the Admiralty. Two distinguished ministers from Allied nations were specially welcomed. Baron Sonnino, ftlie Italian Foreign Minister, 'one of the outstanding figures amongst European statesmen,' and M. Pasitch, the Serbian Premier, a noble figure, with a Jong white beard." These two had a grand reception, and bowed their acknowledgments to the audience. Lloyd George said that he might almost claim a special kinship with Baron Sonnino because he believed his mother wai a Welsh lady, and ho added that "that accounts for a great deal!" Here was a Kttle flash of patriotic pride that Wales was Wales, and that he was proud to be a Welshman, claiming kinship with anyone born of a Welsh ladv. Good man Lloyd George! And if this man of <-ood sense, courage, energy, wit and powar, is in the very soul of him proud of Wales, how much more reason has Wales to be proud of her little son, who has successfully struggled up to the top of the British Empire and stands out as the foremost man in all the world to-day! How skilfully, how courageously, how humorously and how effectively'did he handle the whole case of why we went to war, and why we must continue to light . on until we have mastered the enemies of human welfare and civilisation! There can be no talk of peace by the Allies until the Kaiser stops stammering at the word "Restoration." The boys in khaki have got to teach the Kaiser how to pronounce that word without a stutter, before there is anv talk of peace by the. Allies!—l am etc. J. 0. TAYLOR. '. Wawngona, October 27, 1917.
