We admit that it would be a great inconvenience to

the country if Mr. Lloyd George resigned just now. For the resignation of even unsatisfactory Prime Ministers may be intensely inopportune. We hope, therefore, that Mr. Lloyd George will not persist and that he will not resign.

We could name some of them, but even if we could not, Britain would not be Britain if the occasion did not always produce the man.
