(Received May 10, at 5.5 p.m.) Mr Lloyd George at the National Liberal Club opened an anti-Rndget attack in a speech bristling with all the oldtime sparkle.

M.r Churchill had opened it wjth an .American key and polished the image with burnishing rhetoric, and now the Valhalla of Wall street ] .vas twanging golden harps with joy.
