THE MODERN ST. GEORGE.
‘I WANT A HAPPY EMPIRE.”
SO DOES EVERYBODY ELSE.
(Received I, 9 a.m.) London, June 30.
The Rt. Hon. 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 greatest empire, but when shall we think it worth while to boast we> have an empire of the happiest people, free from poverty and terrors, and of children crying for bread. In front of you is the biggest task democratic Britain will ever undertake. We have got to free the land shackled to chains of feudalism, from that which is shame and disgrace to the richest country in the world. The Insurance Act is the beginning, with God s help, but it is only a beginning.” THE REFERENDUM. London, June 30. Lord Lansdowne, in a speech in London, said it would lie the Lords’ duty to exercise at the proper time their restricted yet substantial powers to secure fir the nation an opportunity to express its convictions on questions of great public policy.
