LIBERAL ATTACK ON BUDGET.

MR LLOYD GEORGE'S CRITICISM

By Cable—Press Association —Copyright ' Australian and N.Z. Cnble Association

(Received May 10, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, May 9. Mr Lloyd George, speaking at thv National Liberal Club, opened the anti-Budget attack in a speech, bristling with all his old-time sparkle. He admitted that he admired _ the Chancellor’s brilliant mind, which was so brilliant ns to dazzle the owner’s judgment. The fact was that one of the Chancellor’s troubles was that his headlights were blinding, and made, difficult for him to avoid smashing into the traffic. During the war, the Golden Calf was locked away in the cunboard, but Mr Churchill opened it with an American key and produced a polished image, with burnishing rhetoric, and now the Valhalla of Wall Street was twanging golden harps with iov. Mr Churchill's fine financial proposals were in. grave danger of being strangled bv a silken cord. He should have paid the pensions scheme by not reducing the super tax.
