MR LLOYD GEORGE.

HIB TOUR OF AMERICA. MEASURE OF SELF-SEEKING ATTRIBUTED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Cbpyrig il • NEW YORK, November 5. 1 The editorial comments on the result, of Mr Lloyd George’s tour vary. Some newspapers mix words of personal esteem with expressions of doubt regarding his influence in America. Others declare that he had his eye on the coming British elections, and that his remarks were nob so much addressed to Americans as to the English voters. The Chicago Tribune strikes an ex- 1 tremely pessimistic note. It says: “When Mr Lloyd George came over we , did not exactly know for what he hadcome; but we know now. He has per-' suaded the British people that he is their ' next Prime Minister, and Americans that when Britain has gone to war with France America should cast its great might on the side of Britain.” The New York Tribune says; “Nobody doubts that Lloyd George’s heart is .in, the right place, but it seems a pity his tongue knows so many things that are not so.” NEWSPAPER ARTICLES.
