"GOOD PRESS"

Most Powerful Speech

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, January 23. Every newspaper reader to-day knows that My Lloyd George has had an amazingly good press

The remarkable thing is that, there has been no immediate re- action of eager criticism, such as one might have expected from almost every political group. Op- position has either been stunned for the moment, or for the mo- ment at least almost persuaded. Political authorities who were con- aulted, though too cautious to make immediate comment, have at once expressed admiration for, as one of them put it; "a most powerful speech" Even those who have praised Mr. Lloyd George's great speeches in the past have not usually chosen just that ad- jective.

The Eiberal response will be not less favourable than that of Mr. Ramsay Muir. Speaking from the experience of to-day, it will be even. more warmly favourable. The cheers of Bangor were echo-

Clyde Still Leads World Output

The Clyde has led the world in shipbuilding and marine en gineering activity during the past

year.

By launching 67 vessels aggregat- ing 205,121 tons, the 21 yards have tonnage output. representing nearly 50 per cent. of the United Kingdom total, and, approximate- ly, 25 per cent, of the world's pro- duction.

The total tonnage launched close- ly approximates to the aggregata amount for the last three years, but is still little more than a third of the record set up in 1913, when

So far as one could explore to-day the answer is em phatically that it is.
