only in the sense that it was a defence of Mr. Lloyd George, who has never before taken up a position quite so aloof.
The Daily Mail insists that the British Empire must be recon- ciled with the world of Islam. We must no longer beat Cross purposes with eighty million Mahommedans, who are British sub- jects or under British control. The Judania agreement should be the starting point for a new and friendlier attitude towards the Moslem peoples.

The speech is variously deseribed as a triumph of obscurity, misfire and suppression of facts, though the Daily Chronicle de clares the Premier's vindication of his Straits policy is overwhelm- ing and the episode will always stand to Britain's credit as, a nation. An early general election is universally regarded as inevitable, but the date and method are matters of speculation. The majority of the papers hold the opinion that the Premier will watch the effect of the Manchester speech before acting, and early November is mentioned as the possible date. Much political. activity prevails.
Although Mr. Lloyd George, to the surprise of political experts, gave no hint of the date of the election, the swan song tone of his peroration is regarded as indicating the possibility of bis resigning before the election, leaving Mr. Chamberlain to form a Government and himself free to organise a new party. The phrase "Britain, Great Britain," it is thought, may be the keynote of a new Imperial Central Party. In the course of three speeches on Saturday at Manchester, Salford and Blackpool, the Premier referred to the wonderful nature of his welcome as showing his personal popularity with the masses, unaffected by Press si- tacks, and he is expected to make the most of this discovery, to "Inaugurate'a Lancashire campaign, similar to Mr. Gladstone's great Midlothian campaigns.
