Mr. Lloyd George dishes up all the familiar stuff about

rich landowners battening on the poor, while saying nothing about taxing the unearned increment of such Stock Exchange ventures as he indulges in himself. As for the nonsensical talk about a conspiracy to defeat democracy, we ask any fair-minded person to judge on the face of it whether the democrats are those who try to withhold an issue from popular decision or those who say "Let the people decide and we will accept their wishes unreservedly." The reformed House of Lords, we note, is to be a sort of Colonial Second Chamber. Liberals will certainly live to regret it if this mistake be committed.
