BARONESS BURTON RAPS
LLOYD GEORGES POLICY
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 31-Baroness
Burton. wife of Col. J. Z. b Baillie of
Dichrour and member of an old High
land family, has come forward to take
exception to the jibes recently cast by
Mr.. Lloyd George upon rich strangers
who hire large tracts Of land in Scot
land for pleasure instead of tilling the
land, and who. Mr.. Lloyd George said,
couldn't stand wearing kits in De
cember without central heating The
former premier made these remarks
in the course of a recent speech in the
Highlands in support of his new lib
eral land project.
Baroness Burton asserts jhat,a very
large proportion of the heads of the
real old Highland clans still remain on
the lands of their forefathers. Owing
to the legislation of Mr.. Lloyd George"
she continued. the only time of the
year they can afford TO live in their
homes is in the Winter. Some unfor-
tunate Highland chiefs. owing to the
excessive taxation introduced by Mr.
Lloyd George, have been unable to
retain their homes.
We Highlanders do not require "a
Welshman't to come and teach us about
our fellow Countrymen."
