LITTLE NA'T'IONS SHARE
Lloyd George's Tribute to Our
Smaller Allies
"11 1 were to paces a criticism upon
the Allies," said Mr. Lloyd George,
at Cardiff. "I should say that while
they tire fighting for little nations
they never fully recognised and real-
ised their value and their potential"
strength. They have never realised
quite the value of Belgium, of Serbia,
of Montenegro, of Bulgaria, of Greqce,
of Romania. 'When the times comes
to write the Story of this conflict it
will be found that the cardinal blund-
er of the Allies was not to understand
the power, the potential power, of the
little nations."
"The Imperial tide Is high, and yet,
while the tide is high and still will get
higher, It will never submerge the joy
of the little nation in its past, in its
present; and in the future which it
sees through the vista. A. small na-
tion is like a little stream, It does
not cease to have a separate existence
even when its waters merge into the
great rlvt e It rine along the sante
valley and'the saute watershed, and

waters of its own glen the great river

Just suppose this community were left without a
local newspaper! Whet would become of its local
pride? Mitten would just he a name on a railway
time -table or a post office guide. Men altd women
might die, or marry, or go away, or euIfer accidents
or entertain friends, and you would hear about it al!!
only through gossip. Farm sides and other announce-
ments of Interest to this particular part of the wide.
wide (world would have no publicity. our lural mer-
chants would have no cheap and quick way of telling
you what they provide ,for you. our churches and
schools and other institutions would hive no medium
at news or appeal. And this whole community would
slip hack and be the sport of juke -smiths.
WOULD CITY PAPERS TAKE THE PLACE OF THE

YOU KNOW THEY WOULD NOT.
