•LET'S COPY THE CHINESE IN
. THIS . • '
Following o recent important divi-
sion in the British House of Comntoes
in -which a number of Liberals ' did
not vote according to the wishes, not
say orders, of the party leader it was
reported that Mr. Void George thre-
tened to resign the leadership. .The
chief Liberal •whip (the second most
important man,) threatened to resign
also, and both may do so before long.
Since he ceased to be primeminister
Lloyd George has not been successful
in leading his party. Friends- of • the
lateH. H. Asquith neVer forgave him
for supplanting their friend in the
mishit of the War, altliough it was a
good thing for Britain that he did So.
Of all the men who cense to the. top
(hiring the war Lloyd beerge was the
most striking sucres. He did lirs
Work better than any soldier or any
etateaman. It is said that he always
anticipated the neat move of the Ger-
mm statesMen, and that he never was
dowthearted,er ditcotiratted, althouh
in that regard • he sonietimes steed
lone. , ,
During the War he commanded un-
• bonnded confiance, and he nevetilis-
appointd those who looked to him for
results. But be has not been se sue-.
cetsfui a leader .in peace. nor does
he command Confidence. Rather • he
leaves tile impression of being shifty
and tricky.
So his party is going to pieces, and
at present it looks as though it May
go out of existane. Part, of it will go
over to the ItlAcDorild -element of
the Lbor Party and part. will join
the Conservative tarty. Mr. Lloyd
•George will do neither, and if here-
hemay be it -party-
but-lia will netlikely elter
