War Budget Burdens
ShOuLdered With Smile

When, with the sudden outbreak of
the European war in 1914, internal
politics wars eclipsed by England's en-
trance into the war. Chancellor Lloyd
George was shouldered with the chief
responsibility of financing the empires
part in the great conflict. Though he
had been one of the chief Obstructionists
to great military expenditures on the
part Of Great Britain in peace times.
face to face with the war he tackled
the problem of raising money with his
whole strength and set in motion the
hrst OF the great loans which were
hoated to meet Britain's war cost-esti-
mated at $40. 0.000, ,0OO, 900 a year,
In the midst of these financial prob
lens Lloyd George was called to assume
a new role, as Minister of Munitions.
when in May, 1915, coalition Cabinet
was formed and when 1t was charged
that Lord Kitchener. the Secretary Of
State for War, had failed to supply
the army with sufficient guns and am.
munition.
The manner in which Lloyd George
tackled this new problem was typical of
his energetic career. He hurried the
passage through Parliament of spe-
cial munitions bill which gave the Gov
ernment broad powers of control over
all factories that were making or cap
able of making war munitions. The
bill made strikes and lockouts illegal,
gave power to fine "slackers," limited
the profits of employers and provided
for volunteer army of workers who
should pledge themselves to 60 wherever
the Government required them to work
in the factories

Clerical Fight Gaze
First UDzDdrd Start

This fight against clerical AFRO.
gance, and especially the vigorous way
In which the young lawyer carried II
on, made Lloyd George famous
throughout Wales, and at the next by
election in the district Of Carnavon
Burgs he was elected to Parliament,
in his twenty seventh year. 1t was
this district which returned him regu- =
larly to Parliament at every election
thereafter.
In the House of Commons the young
Welshman soon became one Of the most
prominent guerrilla fighters. conspicuous
for his audacity and .pungency Of utter
ance and his capacity for obstruction
while the Conservatives we're in Office.
Events were soon to carry Lloyd
George on to a wider field. In the
autumn Of 1899 he was travelling in
Canada when the news Of the impend
ing storm in South Africa arrived. He
instantly hurried home.
He was not precipitate in his judg-
ment about the Boer War. He was
clear that Kruger was wrong in his
treatment Of the Utlanders and in at
tacking the British forces, but he was
certain that with better craftsmanship
the issue could hare been settled with
out war. He was in no sense paci-
fist, and his sympathy then and now
with small nations has been always
tempered with strong sense that
they have no right to live unto them
selves alone.
What inflamed, however, every in
stinct Of his nature was his sense that
certain aspects Of the imperialist policy
represented the same hateful spirit of
domination which he had spent his
early life in fighting in Wales.
As long as it was question of re
pelling the Boer advance on Natal and

for him that his friends had to close
around him to insure his safety.
Jumped Into Cabinet
At q SINGLE Bound

With the overthrow Of the Conserva.
tives and the beginning of the Liberal
regime under Sir Henry Campbell. Ban.
herman in 1905, Lloyd George entered
the Cabinet at bound. He was made
president Of the Board Of Trade, where
he justified his appointment by the sue,
cessful handling Of a threatened railway
strike which would have paralyzed the
whole kingdom. Lloyd George exer-
cised such vigorous tactics that he
forced the railway magnates into arbi-
tration.
When Asquith became Premier In
1908 he appointed Lloyd George to the
Chancellorship of the Exchequer, which
was applauded generally in financial
circles.
However, when the time came for the
presentation of the budget in 1909 10,
when the Government faced deficit of
some S75 100000, Lloyd George con-
vulsed the country by introducing dras-
tic reforms In taxation which put now
burdens on the moneyed classes.
1t was this remarkable Finance Bill
with its heavy super-taxes and with It's
capture of part Of the unearned incre-
ment of land that precipitated the war
on the veto power of the House of Lords
an institution which Lloyd George
declared should be thrown "in the scrap
heap"

was full of rumors of dissolution OF
the Government and an appeal to
the country. ..,,r
The Premier was taken suddenly

pack at his heels and went for. a va

until the storm blew over, when he
went back to Downing Street and

Unity of Command Was
Problem for Lloyd George

But unity of efforts was more din :
cult. There was the difficulty of
| placing the troops Of one nation under
the command of general Of another
nation. There was the difficulty Of in
ducing the various Governments to
forgo their independence sufficiently to
submit to common authority.
It was the disaster Of Caparetto,
foreseen by Lloyd George, that en- :
abled him for the first time to bridge
the gulf. No sooner was the defeat
Of the Italian Army announced than
the plans for assistance were brought
into play, and Lloyd George himself
hurried off to Italy.
The succor of French and British
troops was sufficient to stop the Aus
tro German attack and at Rapallo
Lloyd George secured the agreement
Of the Allies-cordially assented to by
President Wilson in the constitution
Of Supreme War Council.
One other act Lloyd George took
during the darkest days of 1918. The
military arrangements Of the Versailles
Council had broken down. The mill
tary council had made the plans, but
difficulties Of many kinds had pre-
vented their fruition when March 81
came. :

To Others in His Career

The story Of the Genoa crisis has
been the story Of all Of the crises

It will be just like Lloyd George
to do the unexpected. He has al
ways done that. Even his bitterest
detractors admit that his whole
career has been series Of successes
won as much by startling and dis
concerting surprises as by any
genuine greatness Of character.
And yet. for all the unpleasant
and uncomplimentary things that
have been said about him, for all of
the general agreement that he is a
crafty politician rather than a
statesman, vacillating and incon-
sistent temporizer, without deeply
rooted ideals, rather than an in
spired leader of great causes,
scarcely a man in the whole history
OF British public life can point to
such a list of supreme victories
Which are bound to leave their i'm
press on the world for generations
to come.

, For Lloyd George has faced other
crises in his tumultuous life; he has
found himself before this sur
rounded by snarling wolves Of
hatred and bitterness. And he has
smiled into their teeth and made a
sudden adroit move, and come out
unscathed.
Lloyd George has resigned now.
He and his Cabinet have stepped
out of office; but he has, in lesser
degree, used the same maneuver be-
fore and returned triumphant.
It would not be altogether sur
prising to find that Lloyd George
