The Daily News of Monday reproduced some-remarkable reve- lations from
the Atlantic Monthly with regard to the negotiatione between Mr. Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George just before Mr. Lloyd George became Prime Minister. It may be remembered that last week we published an article on the correspondence between Mr. Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George as it was telegraphed from America and was printed in the Weekly Dispatch, and we came to the conclusion that the correspondence had been made publics in the interests of Mr. Lloyd George. We came to this conclusion because the correspondence in the form in which we read it was rather creditable to Mr. Lloyd George, or at all events might easily have been considered so by his agents and special supporters. The Daily News on Monday—a week after the partial publication of the correspondence in the Weekly Diapatch—completes the story. From what the Daily News publishes it is now perfectly evident that the revelations in the Atlantic Monthly were not made at all in the interests of Mr. Lloyd George. On the contrary, they were very derogatory to Mr. Lloyd George.
