MESSAGE OF THE BY-ELECTIONS.
"PRESS ON."
(Received June 3, 9.50 p.m.)
London, June 3
Mr. Lloyd George said the results of the recent elections were not due to a revulsion of feeling against advanced legislation, but to impatience with the Parliamentary machine, which was inadequate to deal with the grievances the people were enduring. The contributory clauses of the National Insurance Act were doing mischief. The message of the elections for the Liberals was not "stand still," but "press on." The aristocracy and their friends were crowing jubilantly over the mutinies in the Army and rebellious Ulster, but the very dunghill on which they were perched was being undermined by the flood. They wanted an election before the waters gathered in sufficient force to sweep them away, Imt they would not get it.
