Lord Carson, speaking at Canterbury on Friday, January 13th, said
that the controversy between the Conservative and Liberal wings of the Coalition, as to whether a General Election should be deferred or hastened, was not edifying. He wanted to know how the Conservative leaders could defend their actions and their policies when they had made " the most complete volte-face in political life, to the degradation of political life, that had ever happened!' Referring to the Lord Chancellor's recent attack on him, Lord arson said that " it was a little hard to be censured for saying to-day what the man who was censuring you said yesterday." He lamented the surrender of the Irish loyalists to Sinn Fein. He did not trust the Coalition. " There was no Coalition. There was a Lloyd George Government and nothing else." " rr. Lloyd George had killed the Unionist Party ; do not let lum kill the Conservative Party." Lord Carson con- cluded by saying that it was nonsense to talk of there being no alternative Government.
