MR. LLOYD GEORGE

WILL HE JOIN CABINET ? SIGNIFICANT REFERENCES SIR JOHN SIMON'S IDEA United rreu Association— By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 26. "Will Mr. Lloyd George bo invited to join the Cabinet!" is the question being widely discussed in political circles, following Sir John Simon's significant references to him in a speech at Kexhill-on-Sea. He said: — "Alike on personal and national grounds I welcome this doughty warrior's return to active political life. '' Mr. Lloyd George's' New Deal may not bo wholly new, but it will be carefully considered. The Government itself has accomplished a great deal, but even those admitting that much probably feel that the Government's teamwork might be improved by the introduction of a more resourceful serum-half or a speedier outside threequarter, and that may well be so." In an editorial "The Observer," stressing that the Socialists already call Mr. Lloyd George's "New Deal" a damp squib, while party Liberalism is a dwindling s quantity, asked Mr. Lloyd George to wipe out old Bcores against Mr. Mao Donald, as he had already done against Mr. Baldwin, who was ideally placed to be an intermediary in negotiations which ought to make Mr. Lloyd George one of the three principal members of a ' reorganised National Government. Paper plans were useless unless' the means of exocution were assured by. another five yeara of sound and strong government.
