morrow Will be the signal for the
real opening of the campaign when
Premier Bonar Law win in4ugurate
formally the fight from the Con-
servative side with a speech at
Glasgow, in which he probably will
outline his policies fully. Lloyd
George will answer the premier
there Saturday These two speeches
will serve to clarity the issues and
set the pace for the strenuous fort
nights campaign Just ahead.
For the first time in the recent
history of British politics, the Ques-
ton of American friendliness has be-
come an election issue.
Injects U. 9. Relations.
In his speech at a meeting of Ma
tional Liberals today. Lloyd George
definitely indicated he intends to in
ject the question of Anglo-American
relations into the election campaign
as one Of the leading issues. He
stressed the same note at a meeting
of Coalition Liberals Saturday. re-
counting the growth of friendly re-
lations with America under his
premiership. and remarking that he
had noted no rejoicing in the United
States over his resignation. Britain.
he said must pay all of her debts to
America
Lloyd George Is capitalizing the
results of the Washington armament
conference, emphasizing that Lord
Balfour by signing the naval limita-
tions agreement had spared England
from ruinous competition in a race
for greater defenses.
Repeatedly Lloyd George returns
tc the American question. With his
usual quick perception, the former
premier noted the appeal of his per-
sonelfty in America and the interest
there in his future tactics. He is
also cognizlnt OF the general desire
here for closer relations with the
United States. Now he is trying to.
sell the public ths idea that he is
the man who did the most to cement
these relations. Premier Bonar Law
is assumed to be equally friendly to
America and there Is curiosity As to
how he will counter attack.
Wants q. .. In League.
AS to the league of nations. Lloyd
George declared that all reasonable
concessions to obtain the participa-
tion Of the United States be made.
Until the United States is a member
the league will be crippled, lacking
in authority and power. and unable
to serve the people of the world
as it should. the former premier in
sisted.
Therefore the object OF any gov
ernment must be to obtain thes.co-
operation of all nations in obtaining
an enduring peace" he continued.
Working with the United States
ought to be the chief purpose of any
government. We have mor< in COM
mon with the United States than
any other land. Our ideals are ap-
proximats. If we work together
that is the best guarantee Of a just
and lasting peace. The United States
is a great country whose friendship
Is important"
1t is asserted here that the cabi-
net is composed of respectable nom
entities with a preponderance of
peers. Neutral observers say that
their worth. They are Stanley
chequer, and Lord Cave. lord chan
cellor.
Lord Salisbury's only claim to Of
fee Is that he is head of the great
House of cecil, and he is the son of
famous prime minister. Lord
Derby is the head of the famous
Stanley family and is a power in
the north of England because Of his
property interests there. The Duke
of Devonshire Is the head Of the Cav
endish family and has been viceroy
Of Canada. viscount Peel IL a good
party man. Lord Curzon Is the new
cabinets star, and the rest are pro-
NOTED under secretaries who are
reapng the reward OF their revolt
against Lloyd George.
