NOT EVEN A MEDAL
I stood with Lloyd George in a sit-ting-room at Churt, facing two large glass cases, new, I think, since I was last there, and both filled with caskets. Some were of gold, some silver, some more artistically fashioned in wood or leather, writes Mr. Hannen Swaffer in the "Daily Herald." All were presentation caskets holding the freedom of some of those many cities < and towns which, because they said he won the war,1 made L.G. a Freeman. "I got all those for killing my fellow-men," said L.G. "All of those represent bloodshed! Now you remember my work for social reform, before the war ■ —National Health Insurance and?* all that sort of thing. Nobody gave me anything for that." No, for all L.G.s pre-war legislation for social betterment, there was not even one putty medal.
