London, Oct. 12. Mr. Lloyd George, the Liberal leader, spanking at the Liberal Conference at Yarmouth, made an important declaration regarding the Liberal position at the General Election which will take place next year.

If the prosperity and the well- being of the country were to fall Into the hands of either of these two Parties, the Liberals would have very little to choose between strangling prosperity with the rope of tarifs or drawing and quartering it by Socialism.
