a sketch Of Lloyd George IS Ne shiG
Of a band Of pirates Who are asdias
With kegs Of dynamite for q dssyenh

bears the silhouette Of Premier Borr
Law.
This Is getting close 70 the serious
side Of the trip, and Il nay bs sdd,d
that Il Is doubtful whether Bonar Law
feels just as secure as the rock ci
Gibraltar. Few observers here are
ready to believe that Lloyd George Aii
spent his force In British politics, ssa
there Is every probability that the Al
gecirss conference will open a rss
chapter in the Wslshnsn's career
There is no doubt. as Garvin has
been contending for a long time, iAs.
Lloyd George really needs q rest no,
so much physieAlly-he seems 70 Be
incapable Of fatigue--as 70 stand aids
little while from the political battle
in order 70 think out all its bsanng'
and his position in relation to a n'T
alignment Of parties
Point Of Attack Selected
So far there is only one hint Of ne
former Premiers line Of attack whsn
he makes his definite comeback ln ne
political arena. This is given By hi'
choice Of a subject for the solitary 10
tervention he made in a debate during
the brief session Just closed. "'a
ireland, rspantiOns and unsmplosnsni
among the big questions before 'ns
House OF Commons, Lloyd Georges
significantly chose TO assert the Tifa'
mount Importance Of the land qss'-
tion.
He is no stranger to thls subject
and the Conservatives at least na'.
not forgotten his land campaign and
plan for taxation values OF his pfs-'H'
radical days. The stage is all ''s e
taking up Of the land que's''n y
dynamic personality, such as ~
George. Tor agriculture Is at :" =
est ebb in Great Britain Just s'''-
the trade depression is leading A'-l
observers TO think that serious 's,'
ought to be taken TO correct the s'.s y,

Another point is that ne ',ss -. !.
