Whether-Mr. Lloyd George should have a lump sum like that

given to the Naval and Military Commanders-in-Chief, or, as we confess we shouldprefer, an annuity of £5,000 a year for life, or for twenty years, whichever is the longer,

does not greatly matter. The essential thing is that a man who has been trusted as he has been trusted should never be left in a position where he or his friends could hereafter speak of national ingratitude. Mr. Lloyd George should receive an acknowledgment of his work both generous and ungrudging. We can all honour him and reward him in that he did not despair of the Republic.
