FAIR PLAY.

LONDON, October 20.

PRINCE. AS-MASON.

INVESTITURE CEREMONY.

LONDON, October 25. There was a remarkable scene at the Albert Hall where som: 9,000 British freemasons attended the in- vestiture of the Prince of Wales as senior Grand Warden, The Duke of Connaught presided in the capacity of Grand Master.

The representative character of the gathering is indicated by the fact that most of the lodges in England, Ireland and Scotisnd sent only three or four delegates.

Mr. Lloyd Georgs defined his policy as "Britain irst, party second." He exhorted his followers to help Tho roceedings opened with an imposing proces- and not to blader say government, to refrain from unit of members in their splendid regalia. The proceed- fair criticism and to co-operate in the policy of peaca fage included the unveiling of a portrait of the Grand and co-operation with the Allies while refusing to allow Master which was banded to the Grand Lodge by the Britain to be tied to the chariot of any other land, Duke of York, Master of the Navy Lodge, The Prince (Cheers.)

Prof Wales received an ovation,

Mr. Lloyd George instanced the Straits, declarin that had we been committed in policy entirely to the Allies the freedom of the Straits would have been gotic. He emphasised the naad of co-operation between Capital: and Labour and the encoungement of agriculture, while he opposed artificial stimulants în trade. Certain aids were legitimate, for instance the Trade Facilities. Act which he claimed had been most successful in amist. iug trade abroad and in the Dominione and India.

MIDDLE COURSE,

Mr. Lloyd George said that when the crais came the Government was considering a scheme for consider ably extending the use of British credit for imperial development which he bad intended to submit to Parliament in November. Ele said the surest trade was the trade of the British Empire.

Mr. Lloyd George concluded by paying a tribute: tollr. Bonar Law, and the Labourleaders, Messrs. Clyne, Henderson and Thomas, but said the danger to both parties was possessed in the fanatical tails, hence the mecanity for a party which would be strong enough to kap the Government in a middle course until Britain

· had emerged from her difficulties,

Mr. Lloyd George incidentally attacked Mr. Makenna whom he accused of being chiefly responsible for the Liberal split in 1916, when he professed ex Caggerated loyalty in his chief whom he had now

deserted.

MR, MCKENNA'S CHANGE,

LONDON, Ootober 20. The editorials to day dwell perhaps more on the speech of the former Liberal Cbinet Minister Mr. boKents than on the constitution of the aaw pinistry. Conservative organs bail Mr. McKenna's conversion as tatimony to the soundness of Mr. Bonar Law E polisy
