This harmony among the Unionist
Ministers was described as part of a
greater harmony embracing the whole
Ministry. Mr.. Chamberlain declared
that harmony of himself with the Prime
Minister was perfect. and he reminded
the Unionists that Mr.. Lloyd Geoi ge's
success in the 1918 election was largely
due to his Influence and prestige. Since
then the Prime Minister had been loyal
