MR. LLOYD GEORGE
ATTACK IN SIR C. MALLET'S BOOK.
"Mr. Lloyd George: A. Study," is a partisan attack on the Liberal leader from the pen of Sir Charles Mallet, a former Liberal M.P., who has held minor office and was knighted during Mr. Lloyd George's premiership. Affecting to write in a strictly impartial spirit, Sir Charles Mallet displays his animus in almost every page. This comment on his subject's attitude towards the hoary fetish of EreeTrade is typical of a hundred others: "He has not only done nothing to help. He has, for reasons quite in* comprehensible, depreciated and even mocked at some of the efforts made by Free Traders." Mr. Lloyd George's incomparablo services in the war are either damned with faint praise or made the targets for rancorous and not always wellinformed criticism: "Wherever one looks in Mr. Lloyd George's record the same qualities appear; the large plans, the abundant energy, the variable judgment, depending so often upon public opinion, the love of talk, (he love of scheming, and the noticeable hick of thoroughness and grip." Sustained and ill-natured detraction of this sort gets ftowhere. (Bonn.)
