This Lloyd George jrould overcome by having a war coun-Sfl coun-Sfl dally in touch with every part of K'e front, conferring and advising on file needs of all forces, i Bit is surprising to the Americans Bftat the premier's position should ft ikve been assailed. His Paris speech 1' yla a bugle call; it was a warning; it i an alarm. By making his candid statement of blunders in the war, and I pointing to the remedy, he has made 1 the first move to prevent a repetition. 1 i But, strange to say, the most effec-1 effec-1 tive thing the premier said was that 1 1 on Saturday five German submarines had been sunk. The pleasing news 1 dispelled the gloom from the House of Commons and the good cheer turned away the grouch, allowing Lloyd George to appeal to open minds. Lloyd George is Great Britain's most capable executive, and it wouid be a crime against the cause of the allies to hamper him at this time. |
