Americans marvel at the vigor Of
Lloyd George in his campaign to pro-
mote British policy along the lines
of the American New Deal. In this
he is also linked with other foreign
leaders.
Observing that, in his advocacy of
the change, the former Premier at
tacks the policies of the present British
government, the Dayton, Ohio, Herald
pays this tribute to him: 1T is a
high compliment to Mr.. Lloyd George,
an old man without a party, that the
government should pay so much at
tention to his criticism. They are do
ing so because they recognize in him
perhaps the greatest politician this
world has seen since the beginning of
the twentieth century. They can't
say that. They must talk about Eng
lands gratitude to Mr.. Lloyd George
for his leadership during the war.
But the thing responsible for their
concern is the fact that they know
they are dealing with a politician
whose ability to stir masses of people
is second to none"
1t is recalled by the New York
Times that President Roosevelt In a
radio speech urged his countrymen to
study the example of England, and
that paper suggests 1T Is nice to see
people pointing the finger of approval
at each other" The Times adds as
to the political effect of the incident:
is it good or bad omen that Lord
Snowden, who hates to agree with
anybody long, now finds himself an
ally Of the Reconstructor? Let us
wait and see how far public opinion
can be whipped up by the Old Prophet
in his new part. Irrespective of the
strength or weakness Of 1t, who can
help taking pleasure in the boundless
vigor, residence and wealth of expe-
dients and proposals, now displayed
as brilliantly as ever, by q man who
has held so many great Offices, been
so pre-eminent figure In the world,
won and lost so many friends, lam
baSted so many enemies? 1t is nearly
forty-five years since he first appeared
In Parliament. He was II yesterday.
Long may he last for our wonder and
sometimes for our amusement"
"At first" observes the Louisville
Courier-Journal, ga third party seemed
the only way to put into effect the
WEIGH politicians program. 1t was
regarded as too radical for the Gov
eminent and not radical enough for
the Labor opposition Its acceptance
of the tariff policy would ALLEVIATE
whatever free trade Liberals remain.
If in the opinion Of the cabinet the
plan Is workable and acceptable, it
may be taken over bodily or in part.
It may be added to the existing social
legislation in Great Britain, which is
far ahead of that in the United States.
1.-The Lloyd George New Deal was po-
htfeal thunder it may be stolen or ap-
propriated."
"Grudgingly but surely" declares
the st. Joseph, Mo-, News-Press,
"other nations borrow from America.
It has been so ever since France found
in our revolution the courage for her
own. It has been so In lighting the
present worldwide depression. Policy
after policy first resorted to In this
country Is now adopted by other ma
tions. Some Of the latest disciples are
Great Britain, France and Canada.
More and more the nations that may
still be called free look to US rather
than to countries using the autocratic
methods Of communism or fascism or
militarism. Those who pay us the
compliment Of imitation usually start
