LLOYD GEORGE STRIKES A BALANCE. WHAT ENGLISH IDEALS ARE WORTH. By Telegraph—Press Assoelation —Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. 2*B. 10.5 a.m A LONDON. October 27. , Mr Lloyd George, speaking at W hite- i fields Tabernacle, said that no men had done eo much for Anglo-American rela tions as Whitefielcl and Wesley. America had responded to practically the same ideals as England’s. Her moral training was identical with England’s. “ We owe America about a thousand million sterling at the present moment,” he said, ” but that is nothing to the debt which America owes us. In writing the balance-sheet, we should be shown as debtors for one thousand and ninetv millions* and be given credit for .John Wesley and George Whitefield. and this without bringing in Shakespeare, Burns, Milton and the Pilgrim Fathere, who would run up a bill which would bankrupt even America. \Yhitefield and Wesley, Mr Lloyd George said, brought America into the war and they were going to take America by the hand and lead her through tho golden portals to the League of Nations.
