LIBERAL-LABOUR ALLIANCE
REJECTED BY LLOYD GEORGE LIMIT TO GROWTH OF SOCIALISM (Rec. January 21, 7.15 p.m.) London, January 20. A Liberal-Labour alliance was definitely rejected by Mr. Lloyd George in a speech at Carnarvon. A repetition of 1924 was inconceivable, he said. They accepted a full share of the blame for that, but it would be imprudent to use Liberalism’s trust again and associate with such an alliance. It was useless to predict that the Socialists would acquire an absolute majority until many elections had gone. There was a rigid limit to the growth of Socialism, beyond which it could not spread. It would not be wise for Liberalism to seek an alliance with any party, but rather it should proceed to make a powerful position for itself. Liberalism was not going to perish. On the contrary it would count more at the coming elections than at any time since 1910.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
