Mr. Lloyd George gave an address in Welsh at the
Welsh Baptist Chapel, Castle Street East, on Sunday afternoon. He maintained that, in spite of the complaints of pessimists, the world was getting better, and if they read the history of three thousand, one thousand, one hundred years ago they would find progress. They knew the famous quotation, " Give unto Caesar." But who was Caesar ? The people were Caesar. They were on the throne. Theirs was the responsibility. Therefore they must bring religion into the realm of statesmanship. Continuing Mr. Lloyd George declared that there had never been a revival or reform carried through except with the help and leadership of men who gained nothing by these move- ments. The Labour Party wrongly thought they would win reform only through the people who suffered, whereas no reform had ever been brought about only by people who suffered. The men who worked for them made personal sacrifices and sacrificed wealth. This he saw in carrying the Budget through the House of Commons. The men who did the work were not those who gained but lost through the reforms they supported.
