The National Liberal Federation At the meeting of the National
Liberal Federation held at Buxton on May 15th, Mr. Lloyd. George made a brilliant speech in defence of his Parliamentary tactics and carried his audience enthusiastically with him. What they may have thought the next morning if they read it over in cold print which gave them time to discover inconsistencies or to reflect upon some results that might follow his pro- posals, we cannot say, But it was certainly a rousing platform declamation. The result was that those who do not approve of being led at the tail of the Labour cart were completely defeated on their motion " reaffirming the need for the absolute and unfettered independence of the Party." The amendment, which was carried, " reaffirmed the absolute and unfettered independence of the Party " a pretty distinction full of irony to amuse the outsider.
