THE PROUDEST BOAST OF ALL
MR LLOYD-GEORGE WAXES ELOQUENT. [UNITBD PRESB ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT] LONDON, June 30. Mr Lloyd George, in his speech at Woodford, said: “We boast of the largest navy in the world, the greatest commerce on land and sea, the greatest mercantile marine, and the great-. est Empire, but when shall we think it worth while to boast we have_ an Empire of the happiest people, free from poverty and the terrors of children crying for bread ? In front of you is the biggest task democratic Britain will ever undertake. We have got to free a land, shackled to the chains of feudalism, from that which is a shame and. a disgrace to the richest country in the world. The Insurance Act is a beginning; with God’s help, it is but a beginning.’’
