WAR. OF WORDS.

HOME ELECTION SPEECHES.

LLOYD GEORGE AND BALDWIN.

#Router's Service to the China Mofl.).

LONDON, November 21, Mr. Lloyd George, who received an ovation from a packed audience at Queen's Hall, replying to Me Baldwin's speech on Monday, said the Tory party when worried always took to tariffs as some people took to alcohol. The credit of Britain had declined. since 'Mr. Baldwin undertook the job. The only country where wages were level with those of Britain was Free Trade Holland. Free Trade had given British commerce, trade and finance such vitality that the British credit was the only one in Europe that had been restored. Free imports were keeping: Britain alive. Changing our fiscal system in order to keep the home fires burning would be like a drunkard breaking up the furniture and flinging on to the fire. Restore peace in Central Europe and trade would look after itself,

NOT A TRICK ELECTION.

LONDON, November 21. "

Mr. Baldwin at Reading said it was curious to find the opposition complaining that they did not want an election. He was surprised that Mr. Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George had climbed into the same bed and preferred to wait till the morning to ses which kicked the other out. Far from being a trick election it was inevitable. He was hopeful of estab lishing a sugar industry in Britain by remission of the excise duty. There was no reason why there should not be half a million acres instead of fifteen thousand under sugar beet in England.

WHAT COMMUNISTS WANT.

He floored Mason, twice in the fourteenth round, and once in the fifteenth. Thereafter Mason had slightly the better of matters until the twentieth when he was floored for a count of eight. The decision of the referen got a mixed reception.

The second note deals with the Crown- Prince. It accepts the assurances of the German pore cabled yesterday, but nevertheless declares that the Crown Prince's presence in Germaŋ terri- tory is likely to provoke serious complications for Germany at home and abroad. It holds the German Government responsible for any consequences which might compel the allies to confer upon measures necessary to deal with the situation.
