In the course of his speech, Mr. Lloyd George said he had been pressed for some time, especially by a considerable number of people who had been disillusioned by all the parties, to return to 'active political life. He had done so re-. luctantly, but he must go through with it.
Mr. Lloyd George then proceed- ed to denounce the growth of armaments, on which he said the world was now spending thousanda of millions sterling yearly, com- pared with £700,000,000 a decade' ago. He asserted that the Govern. mont had missed many chances, and declared that he had been told that Germany offered to abolish submarines, but that we were not prepared to accept the offer. He hoped the report was inaccurate, ·
