Mr. Lloyd George begins his article by a significant attack

upon the Government's position. They cannot claim to speak with the national voice as they have not obtained the votes of a majority of the electors. " The most notable feature of the elections is," he says, " the return of a decisive majority of Members by a very definite minority of votes." Mr. Lloyd George goes on to declare that " the present Parliament ought at once to devote its mind and direct its energies to the discovery of some method and machinery which will avert the danger which undoubtedly arises from the working of the present system."
