ELECTION NOTE
(Continued from` Page 1)
"It looks to me more like a political landslide against the Government than anything since 1906. Wherever we go we hear that Conservatives are deciding to vote Liberal."
Acid Test of Peace Mr. Lloyd George's election ad- dress says that the greatest world issue before the country to-day is peace.
"Everybody wants peace and talks peace, but the acid test whether
covenants, peace treaties, and pacts mean any- thing, whether the Government means them to mean anything is disarmament. If the Govern- ment has the confidence in the League of Nations, the Kellogg Pact and the Washington Treaties It will cut the vast swollen armaments to a police level"
He declared that his first obiect if elected, would be to urge im- mediate steps to be taken prac- tically to respond to President Hoover's offer to co-operate with other nations to effect a large and aimultaneous reduction of arma-" ments, in regard to which there should be an immediate interna- tional conference.
Mr. Lloyd George dwelt at length on the Liberal plan to deal with unemployment. He said that freer trade with all nations was the only road to national, imperial and international prosperity. Reuter
