I would like to hear Mr. Lloyd George's opinions about

" The Liberal Way " and the recent decisions adopted by the National Liberal Federation, and indeed about a good many other public . questions. His silences are impressive and almost provocative. I well remember that about eleven years ago some of his most intimate friends were praying that for a time he would hold his peace, absent himself for a.season from politics, and afford an interval in which Liberal differences would heal them- selves. But his intense interest in all that was going on and his irrepressible desire to express himself and rush into the fray made this a vain hope. But now he has gone to the opposite extreme. He is well. He has been writing his War memoirs with gusto. I believe he is enjoying life. But he is silent, and his silence has lasted-4 two or three occasions are excepted—for more than two years. The Liberal Party has swung round into Opposition. What does he think of its attitude to Labour ? What does he think of its agricultural proposals ?
