MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S SPEECH.
Teaching the Prussians Mumility,
London, June 30:
Mr. Lloyd Georgs"speaking at Dundee said Wo Dow possoned such reserve of munitions that whatever the
·German submarine does it cannot deprive us of our necessary stocks for successfully prosecuting the
We had driven Germany's great army, underground" which was the beginning of the end for it meant that we were pounding a sense of inferiority into every pore of the German military
mind.
212.1
Can you imagine the Kaiser before the war in a swagger speech to the Prussian Guard saying, "My gallant warriors, descendants of men of Fredrick, when the time comes again to meet the foes of the Fatherland, 1 will see that acep caverns are made in the ground to save you "from your enemics (laughter), especially from the contemptible British Army which is seeking your lives. I will do more. If by some diabolical machinery he destroys those shelters, you shall hare behind other shelters to which you can run, and if you cannot take your guns, just leave them behind" (Laughter).
These are rabbit tueties but it is good for the war as well as after war that the virtue of humility is being taught the Prussians with a'ierce and relentless lash.
The Premier proceeded to emphasise the need of unity at home, unity which would bear any sacrifice to assist the gallant fighters. He drew a distinction between deprivation and privation. There had been no privation in the United Kingdow such as Germany and Austria had evoured We ought willingly to suffer limitations and restrictions. Take horse-racing. It is entirely a matter of the extent to which it interferes with war activites and, if this principle is applied to drink, you will find it will work all right. Be ferring to profiteering, the Premier said: It is unfair in peace time, it is an outrage war tinie. (Cheers). That A why we have restricted shipping profits, which were a scandal, and why we have taken steps to keep food prices within bounds. In conclusion Mr. Lloyd George sold: We are fighting to-day the doctrine which dragged Alsace and Lorraine from France in 1571. I always kaew the struggle would be prolonged.
You don't root great vils out of the earth. without great struggles. Nevertheless, with persistent and unflinch ing will, we'll win. (Cheers). There are many discourage- ments and disappointments and squalid detaily in a struggle like this and the end seus postponed, but I can tell you that through ak winter of ice the "springtide will follow.
(Cheers).
