“GET SOMETHING DONE”

MR LLOYD GEORGE’S SLOGAN SWEEPING PROPOSALS LONDON, December 16. (Received Dec. 16, at 9 p.m.) The Daily Herald says that Mr Lloyd George, as a free and independent citi zen tied to no party, will launch a public campaign early in the now year to convert the public to the imperative need of national reconstruction, with the

slogan “ Get something done.” The scheme will include sweeping proposals for replanning Britain and is the resuit of months of preparation at his country house, where he held consultations with groups of economists, businessmen and financiers, Mr Lloyd George says he will appeal to the mass of silent non-party voters who are ready to swing over to a policy of active and resolute reconstruction. “ National control of the Bank of England as the key to economic recovery and reconstruction will bo the foremost point in the programme. The bank must be a real State bank instead of a close corporation.” He adds: “ There is something desperately wrong with a system that cannot adequately feed, clothe and employ a large proportion of its workers. I am going to spend the last years M my life trying to alter that.”
