Mr. Lloyd George, in his breeziest mood, made frequent small speeches, tc> people from the platforms between Glasgow, and .Sunderland, where he came to support Sir Hamar Greenwood. There jvere numerous liecklers/biit everywhere Mr. Lloyd George faced them with remarkable quickness and good humour. Mr. .Lloyd George, speaking at Edinburgh railway station, described the Conservative hopes as a song of victory oil the triangle. He added that triangular duels alone give Toryism the chance of coming into power. Five thousand people in the Sunderland btadium and an equal number in the aojoining skating-rink heai-d the speech by means of amplifiers. Mr. Lloyd George urged that the shipping industry m Britain would be not only handicapped but crippled under 'a system of restricted imports and exports. 'The present attack on Free Trade was a surprise attack in the fog. but it was more subtle than thoso of 1903 and 1913. inasmuch as the attack was conducted by an honest man. He went on to draw an imaginary picture of Mr. Baldwin offering to carry a ladys grocery parcels., '"I am an honest man, says Mr. Baldwin The :lady looks at him twice, and when she gets home finds a tin of salmon missing and the apples gone, and decides not to Jet an honest man carry.Her groceries again.
