Mr Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at the Bankers’ dinner at the Mansion House, said it was impossible to hope for a reduction in taxation until tho mad rush for increased armaments had been arrested, not in England alone, hut in all countries. “No individual country can afford to disarm,” said Mr Lloyd George. “We cannot, in tho slightest degree, decrease our plans for immunity against invasion.” Two years ago, ho added, financial interests on the Continent had stopped a war, and only tho great financial interests would effectively arrest the present terrible growth of armaments.
