MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S INTERVIEW
DEPENDED BY ITS AUTHOR
Mr. R. H. Holt (Liberal) complained of Mr. Lloyd George's interview with the United Press of America, and the idea of fighting to a finish.
Mr. Lloyd George (Secretary of State for War) replied that there was no difference between himself and Mr. Asquith. He recalled Mr. Asquith's declaration that Prussia's military domination must be wholly and finally destroyed. This was a complete answer to those who were trying to spread dissatisfaction. Asserting that he spoke only for himself in the interview, he expressed the opinion that Cabinet, the Government's military advisers, and every one of her Allies realised that neutral intervention would have been a, military triumph for Germany and a disaster to us. As Secretary of State for War, he had a right to prevent that disaster. Hte interview was timely— how timely would be revealed in due course.
