(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Copyright. (Rec. April 23, 5.5 p.m.) London, April 22. Mr. Lloyd George, in a speech at Llanfairfechan, declared that it was absolutely untrue that there was a revolt against Mr. Asquith. There was, however, a revolt agaist the humiliating conditions under which the Liberal Party was expected to keep m power a Government that never concealed its hostility towards the Liberals. Labour speakers had said that the Liberal Party was done for, and they Lid been told that there would oe no election for two or three ye.ars. Meanwhile the Liberals would be open to draw Labour over the rough roads of Parliament and finally would be slaughtered. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, in three months, had dissipated the stock of good-will of those who ’ had put Labour in office, and the Labour Party should reconsider its attitude before it was too late. —Reuter.
