Mr. Lloyd George, speaking in Glasgow last Saturday, argued that

Mr. Bonar Law's statement of policy showed no difference from that of the old Coalition Government. The " first-class brains " had been driven out. Mr. Boner Law's attitude was a negative one, and he did not like negative attitudes. They filled him with alarm. If there was an attempt to destroy the Coalition Liberals they " will put up a pretty stiff fight, I can tell you." The whole speech showed that Mr. Lloyd George entirely fails to understand that what the country wants is a breathing space and an entire change of method—an end of noisiness and dangerous clumsiness. Such a change of method is a change of policy in itself. The talk about negativeness means nothing and is the very reverse of " alarming."
