LLOYD GEORGE'S APPEAL. Mr. Lloyd George begged, the Government to make one more effort for peace. He said that the members of the Trades Union Con- gress who ordered the strike were as little revolutionary as anyone there, and the Government could

He added that in the event of the resumption of negotiations, the House would agree to a limited continuation of the subsidy.
