II he is returned to power, 1t will
be one Of his policies to work for
warmer and closer relations between
D.tain and the United States.

ing clenched fist.
Britain must pay her debts"

policy.
Britain is not going to extend her
responsibilities. but she should not be

Peace loving, but not afraid.
IF there is any deviat on from

q Fights Back at Labor.
As to. the British labor situation,
the former premier said:
Labor has declared a relentless
war. We must fight back. We must
resent the Socialist trend. l did not
notice any rejoicing In the United
States when the coalition fell, nor in
Italy nor In France. either except
among the Chauvinist press, which
expects my successors TO be more
pliable. III we fall, let us fall fight.

Lloyd George continues:
my conviction Is that the parties
supporting free enterprises and the
men opposing revolutionaries must
stand together. There I sno differ
ence IN policy before the break up OF
the coalition government. My OPP
ponents say their policy is one OF
tranquility. Mine is one of peace.
Never ~ he history Of Britain has
there pr vailed such peace as at
present. There 10 peace abroad. We
have restored peace In the Near East
