LONDON, July li.
Mr Lloyd George, in a speech at Kennington, said he did not claim that the insurance Act would bring in tho millennium, but honed it brought itnearer. To-morrow would bo known in tho annals of the sick and distressed as Red-Cross Day. Already nine and a half million new members had joined approved societies, and more new members had joined tho friendly societies in tlio last threo weeks than in tho wholo of the past 20 years. Tb<* Government would fulfil every pledge it had given.
Tho newspapers announce that simultaneous meetings project od by a Liberal insurance coterie throughout tho country to celebrate tho enforcement of the Act will bo largely abandoned owing to the outcry against tho measnro and tho opposition of the newspapers in ridiculing tho so-called "Joy Pay."
