A GLORIOUS RESURRECTION."

MR. LLOYD GEORGE AND LIBERALISM

THE PROBLEM OF THE MINES.

Mr. Lloyd George addressed 23,000 people at a Liberal fete at Bywell Park, Stockañeld-on-Tyne. Accompanied by "Dame Mar- garet Lloyd Georgo and Miss Megan Lloyd George, he was receive ed enthusiastically with the singing of "Land of My Fathers!! Lood For Hera-Jolly Good Follow

This is a glorious resurrection for a lead Party," he said, amid cheers. "The same process is going on in every part of

·Great Britain, and when the time comes within, the next twelve, months we shall be giving a good, account of ourselves for the old Party and the old Principles."

He expressed delight that the proposed Kellogg Pact for the outlawry of war was at last going to be signed.

WHAT THE LIBERALS WILL DO.

"There has been a good deal of Germany, France, and Belgium reluctance and hesitation over the were up. The Socialista said it Kellogg Pact, and I am afraid a you disagreed with them that you good deal of real reservation and were the enemy of the human race. restriction," said Mr. Lloyd If you agreed with them you were George. When it came over first of meddling with matters that were all from America it was scrutinised not your concern. The result was and examined with suspicion as if the mess in which they found them it had been a rattle-snake., which selves. they were afraid would bite. But

the flag. But their leaders had re-. duced them from a most powerful strategic position to a position of helplessness That was the result of inept and fatuous leadership.

"But to test the real efficacy of that doctrine, will it be followed by reduction in armaments t Every pact and court and treaty have hitherto been followed by the signatory nations with the piling up of camps to crush each other down, of acroplanes to bomb each other's cities, and of craisers and submarines to sink each other's shipa. In this country we are spending £114,000,000 a year on the mechanism of human slaughter whereas before the war we were spending £77,000,000, and that in spits of all those treaties. It is no use having treaties unless you re duce armaments, otherwise it will be a farce that will end in tragedy. "Therefore, I am looking for ward to the time when the Liberal Party will come in to convert those pacts into a reality. (Cheers.) After all, peace, retrenchment, and reform are the traditional tasks of our party, and we are preparing to take them up with a good heart, with an efficient organisation, with a new purpose, and with a real unity among ourselves..

He remembered during his time in Parliament two splits in the Tory Parliament. In the last of them, Lord Birkenhead described his present colleagues as men of second-rate ability. Since he has joined them, I believe that opinion has been confirmed. (Laughter) The Socialists, until quite recent ly, were always taunting Liberals on their divisions. Well, this week the Socialista had a good pillow fight upstairs in a committee room at the House of Commons, and as far as he could see the leaders came out with white feathers all over' them, but with none sticking to the garments of Maxton and Wheatley.

NEW WEST END CINEMA.

TWO FINE FILMS.

When negotiations, for the pur. chase of Archbishop Tenison's School in Leicester Square, W., afe completed it is probable that a super-cinematograph theatre will be erected on ite site.

The purchase price was fixed at £80,000, and the site extends into Charing Cross Road,`but it does not include the shops on the north side of Green Street. These are, however, involved and are the sub- ject of negotiations..

If a new cinema is erected Lei- ! cester Square will have a variety theatre, two cinemas, and the nearly completed. Empire Theatre, at which cinema performances, will be one of the attractions.

Referring to the speech of the President of the Miners' Federa- tion at Llandudno, Mr. Lloyd mauges, George said, "There has been noth- ing as dismal since the lamenta tions of Jeremiah. Of course, they blame others. My experience is that people who muddle their own affairs always blame every body but themselves."

The second mistake was they would take nothing in the young pilot to death on his return that as an unwilling decoy to lure the way of a remedy unless they journey. As heroes and heroines everything. That was a first-class mistake. It was not statesman-in films seldom escape living hap ship.
