Great Interest has been aroused throughout the world by cabled refer ences to sur article. by Mr. Lloyd George, which appeared in a number of Ameri can newspapers during the general strike Mr. Lloyd George's article was written for the United Feature Syndicate.. The extracts which follow are taken from the article as printed in the Sunday Ameri- can, May 9th. It is an article of about two thousand words,

A BIG FUNERAL.

20,000 PEOPLE WITNESS

PROCESSION....

PRECIOUS CURIOS DISPLAYED.

Weiblen has soldom seen such a display as was made at the burial of Mr. Li, a member of one of the leading families of this district. The Li family is one of the newly rich" (says the Tsingtao Times) and has made its money through the sale of brocades and embroidery. For this reason a special effort was made to put on a big funeral so as to give the family a place among the really great' forritics,

The procession lasted for three hours and more than two thousand persons took part in it, while the ntreata were literally packed: with neople, from the city and ...Surrounding villages. It was estimated that over 20,000 people witnessed the pro- cession. All the soldiers in the district were hired for the day-to ride to and fro on the streets keeping them open for

Two of the real ancient and honour-

Mr. Lloyd George's article begins by saying that Britain has the unenviable distinction of being the first victim of the long-threatened' general strike. There have been sporadic attacks in other countries since the war, but they were like one day, in a feverish cold. but here the real thing has at last ar rived. It is serious, determined, pur- poseful, and well organised. Mr. Lloyd George goes on in the article to describe the immediate effects of the strike, the the procession. desertion of factories and workshops, millions of workmen making holiday ined families honoured the Li family by the streets of our industrial towns.

pasanges about the state of the streets, people walking to work and so on, he goes on:

"How long will this extraordinary industrial upheaval lass-how, long will the good humour endure, and what will be the ultimate outcome and effect of it all? These are the questions asked by torceful men. Most people have not yet taken it seriously. There is no general alarm or anxiety, for it is universally assumed, that it is too bad to last. wish could feel as confident about the speedy termination of this deplorable struggle as most of my fellow country men seem to be. There are two or three elements that make for its prolongation. First and most formidable is the question of amour propre. Where the pride of men is involved in a bonflict it even more difficult to settle than when it is a question of their interests.

resources of the nation; and it has the support of public opinion of at least two-thirds of the nation. The strikers have behind them the whole of the Labour niovement and the best organised trade union system in the world. They cannot win if the nation holds out, but the hation will soon become worried about fits ablshing trade and there will be a general demand that something should be done. The Government will not open- ly, and avowedly recede from its position of no negotiations till the strike is over. Neverthelesa negotiations will take place with the full knowledge and approval of the Government. Parliament is a great stand-by in times like this. It is a more real expression of the national will and sentiment than probably any Legislature in the world. I predict that Parliament will sooner or later take a hand unless the Government finds a way out.

The Government declared in its cont- muniqué which broke off the negotiations that it would not resume peace parleys with the trade unions unless and until the threat of a general strike was with drawn. Without expressing any opinion on the wisdom of this decision, there could be no doubt in the mind of anyone acquainted with the forces to be dealt with that this announcement made a general strike inevitable, and in all probability prolonged its duration.

SUMMARY MR. GEORGE DID NOT

WRITE.

The following appears at the top of the article in the Sunday American as auromary of Mr. Lloyd George's views, but Mr. Lloyd George stated that these views were not expressed by him and had nothing to do with his article:-

If all the trade unions in Great Britain. are called out to support the miners, the transport employees, and the engineer- ing trades which are dow alone strike-God knows what will happen. II the Government surronder to force not even God can know what will follow.
