LATE LORD LLOYD
PREMIER'S TRIBUTE
(British Official Wireless.) (Received February 7, 12.50 p.m.)
RUGBY, February 6,
In the course of a tribute to the memory of Lord Lloyd, the late Colonial Secretary, Mr. Churchill spoke of the loss as particularly painful to him in • view of many years of friendship. "We championed several causes together which did not command the applause of a large majority," he said. "It is just in this kind of cause where the swimmer is against the stream that one learns the worth and quality of a comrade and friend."
Mr. Churchill recalled Lord Lloyd's service under Lawrence of Arabia, and said that he had acquired a great love for the Arab race.
He said that although Lord Lloyd's views, like some of his own, were often opposed to the Labour Party, Lord Lloyd had gained the respect and regard of the Labour Party in the recent trying months.
