The debate was continued by Lord Wolmer, who complained that
the Government had boxed the compass of half a dozen questions. No one had the slightest idea where Mr. Lloyd George would be in regard to Ireland, Russia, India, Egypt or any other questions in six months' time. He had already taken an inconsistent attitude on all the chief questions of the day. Thai is a very good translation into specific terms of our com- plaint against the levity and recklessnees of the Prime Minister's policy. Lord Hugh Cecil followed with a brilliant speech, the motive of which was that the present Government, or rather the present Prime Minister, was ruining the country. " Ho was sure that no Prime Minister could be so had as the present Prime Minister, and so long as he was Prime Minister the condi- tion of the country would get worse and worse, as it had done since the Armistice."
