L. G. CHALLENGES
GOVERNMENT
TO CONTINUE FIGHT FOR "NEW DEAL”
WILL MAKE IT ISSUE AT NEXT ELECTION
London, July 15.
Mr. David Lloyd George, former Liberal Prime Minister, and author of a "New Deal" which, he affirms, would bring back to Great Britain the prosperity and happiness she knew before the post-war slump, has de- clared war upon the Government. He will challenge the Government at the next election, he declares, ask- ing the nation to support his "New Deal."
Parliamentary opinion veered towards a general election for next spring thanks to the clarifica- tion of the atmosphere by the Government's rejection of Mr. Lloyd George's £250,000,000 "New Deal" proposals to-night.
As a reply to Mr. Lloyd George's action in publish- ing the outline of his scheme to-day, the Government is preparing a reasoned statement which, it is under- stood, will flatly reject suggestions like the nationalisa- tion of the coal, cotton, iron and steel industries, and pensions for workers at sixty years of age.
