MR LLOYD GEORGE’S ATTITUDE LONDON, June 8. ' The Sunday Times'political correspondent draws attention to a passage in Mr. Lloyd George’s speeeh on Friday, when he said that he anticipated that within a lifetime the Dominions’ populations would be one hundred millions instead of sixteen millions. He (Mr. Lloyd ' George) proceeded to emphasise the importance of knitting the Empire by consultations and common action
The correspondent comments, “it will not be ‘.u.’pr'ung if Mr. Lloyd George regards ' ■. Imperial preference proposals which will be -debated on the 18th_ inst. as entitled to sympathetic consideration. “The story that the Baldwinites precipitated the last election because they discovered Mr. Lloyd George was prepared Io take a leaf out of Joseph Chamberlain’s book had this much truth, that during his visit to Canada Mr.’ Lloyd George discussed preference fully with leading men.”
