These were the angry words with which Sir Austen Cham- berlain refused Mr. Lloyd George's offer of office early in 1919.

The refusal is related in "Down the Years," by Sir Austen, published by Cassell.

It came in the midst of a stormy interview with the then Premier, in which "for the first nnd fast time in our lives,

lost our tempers with each other."

He tells a story of a fight on the floor of the House of Commons, stopped eventually by the "dread' rebuke" of hissing from the public gallery.

Lord Darling, then an M.P., explained to Sir Austen later that two of his constituents," prize-fighters, were in the gallery, and were so "disgust- ed" at the quality of the fight- ing that they provided the his- sing!
