BRITAIN’S POLICY
WHEN MR LLOYD GEORGE WOBBLED. YOUNG LIBERAL ATTACK. “ Young Liberals have refused to be rattled when many other Liberals have either wobbled or rattled,” said Mr Elliott Dodds, the new President of the National League of Young Liberals, at the League’s annual conference at Bradford. “ At a time when Mr Lloyd George was proclaiming his willingness to consider the question of restriction of imports with an open mind,” added Mr Dodds, “ your executive maintained a firm attitude. We are now committing ourselves to a great new campaign for Free Trade.” One delegate said: “ It is no use Mr Lloyd George posing as a virgin Free Trader when he introduced safeguarding.” Another said that she regarded Mr Lloyd George as “a liability inside the party and a danger outside it.” A resolution was carried deploring the Import Duties Act, condemning the Wheat Quota Bill, and calling on the Liberal Ministers to resign from the Government.
