LLOYD GEORGE TRIP
SPURS COMEBACK
British Expect Strenuous
Campaign to Start on
His Return.

By Cable 20 The Star and New York Tribune.
Copyright, 1928.
LONDON, October 20.-Lloyd Georges
tour of the United States and Canada
is followed here with keen interest
because it presages & strenuous cam
paign for his return to political power
in Great Britain. In the last fort
night "the little Welshman" has re-
covered lot Of the ground lost fol-
lowing on his retirement from the
premiership. The political situation
is now shaping itself we'll for his
comeback"
No other British politician has half
his personal magnetism. No other
British statesman can sway people as
easily. Lloyd George has an unusual
opportunity before him, because his
chief opponent is Premier Stanley
Baldwin, who is novice in the po-
litical game, possessing but little skill
in making a good case out of a bad
situation.
Need Desperate Measures.
The approach of winter finds Eu-
rope so unsettled-if not chaotic
that desperate measures must be
adopted. The gloomy pictures painted
by Senator Smoot, Congressman Bur-
ton and other Americans who have
visited Europe in recent mo months
fected the situation today.
Bonar Law succeeded Lloyd George
as premier because the country
thought he would be able to establish
sounder business conditions. When
Baldwin became his successor for the
same reason.
Appealed to People.

politics His type appealed to the
Britons. Unfortunately for Bald
win and for Great Britain, however
his policy brought little improvement
OF all the great powers the British
are most dependent on external con-
ditions Consequently. she now has
more than 1.250,000 unemployed, and
although the government is planning
to spend $100.ooo,ooo to relieve the
situation, this sum Is regarded as a
most Ineffective palliative.
Premier Baldwin is being attacked
sharply on the grounds that he has
muddled the domestic problem. He
Is criticized severely further because
his international policy Is too weak
have been thrown on the defensive
and they are hard put to 1t 10 find
arguments that will meet the criti-
cisms. Even the Dominion premiers
have been .outspoken in their crttl-
cisms Of the manner in which the
Westminster government has been
handling international affairs.
Baldwin In Frank.
Baldwin has been frank. He has
made no attempt to gloss over un-
pleasant facts. His chancellor OF the
exchequer has calmly informed his
countrymen that there Is no prospect
of a reduction in the income tax for
several years. He has been the tar
get of much abuse in consequence, on
the ground that It is the duty OF the
leader to build up confidence rather
than repeat unpleasant facts.
No one knows which way and how
strongly the political wind will blow
when parliament reassembies next
month, but every one realizes that a
political storm Is brewing. Lloyd
George will return home to find Bald
] win lighting to keep his place at the
helm. II Lloyd George can offer the
country any constructive program, he

that our people will contribute as
they feel they are able for this pur-
pose.
