BRITAIN’S SACRIFICE.
MR. LLOYD GEORGE’S BOOK. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, August 26. The Sundav Times, which is owned by the firm that purchased the English serial and book rights of Mr. Lloyd George’s book, states his decision to give the whole profits to charities is entirely free from any ad captandum intent (that is, any desire for popular applause) nor is it meant to meet the acrimonious criticism which the announcement of the publication evoked in certain quarters. The simple fact is that in the course of writing his book Mr. Lloyd George has been so distressed by the poignancy of the story he has to tell and by the terrible sacrifice of the nation’s lifeblood involved in the struggle that the idea of any personal gain in the matter became impossible. He felt he would despise himself if he allowed himself to think of the book in such terms. The story of the nation’s sacrifice shall not b? told for the gain.
