An exceptionally well-informed correspondent sends us the following :- "
It is to be hoped that public opinion will not give its final verdict in regard to the late Prime Minister's War work before it is fully in possession of certain supremely important facts which will enable it to reach a definite conclusion as to whether Mr. Lloyd George did or did not win the war.' There are at least six vital events relating to political interventions and to military operations and the strategy of the Higher Commands, British and French, between January, 1918, and mid-September, 1918, that the public is now entitled to know about—events which so far have been totally withheld from publicity. Until this information is forth- coming in an authoritative form, millions of voters throughout the country will remain largely in the dark as to whether or no Mr. Lloyd George really was the war winner' in 1918. I under- stand that each of these facts is fully stated—and dated—in the work, Sir Douglas Ilaig's Conuncuul, December 19th, 1915— November 111h, 1918, which Mr. Dewar has written with the aid of Lt.-Colonel Boraston, Editor of the Official Despatches. The voter, then, if he receives this information in time, should at last be able to form a fair view of what the Prime Minister achieved, or of what he did not achieve, during the last year of the War."
