Speeches by Messrs McKenna and George.

LONDON, October 2.

Mr McKenna, speaking at Pontypool, said the supremacy of the fleet was the surest guarantee of European peace. The Admiralty was doing its utmost to relieve the distress in the engineering trades by placing shipbuilding orders with contractors.

Mr Lloyd George, in another speech, said some constituencies and many young Liberals needed re-vaccination with good Liberal lymph to insure them against the germs and microbes filling the air. Socialist countries found their progressive power split and paralysed, and desired to revert to true Liberalism. Mr George added that it was unwise to hastily climb a mountain; one must ascend slowly, wind -round the difficulties, and carefully negotiate the crags,' lest he tumbled down a precipice. Liberalism was the best mountain guide the democracy had ever had.
