T had a deep personal sympathy for Bonar Law: and I do not believe the allies did justice {0 his generosity nd offered to remit s war debts. But then, as now, I could not help feeling that, had Llovd George and Bonar Law been rolled into one -the Scotchman with his cold judgment and his cor tempt for popularity, plus the Welsh- man with his flashes of genius—a mar- velous statesman would have resulted. Certainly rapidity of thought of the Welch would in the mixture, but I heard some English Liber: leaders complaining that the reason for the decadence of the Liberal ty could be found in the devastating ef- fects of the flood of ideas which fell on it from the hills of Wales—too many ideas for an old. classical British party But is Mr. Lloyd George really a Lib- eral in the historical British sense of the word? To answer this question is. I believe, to find the clue which may lead to the explanation of the mar ous Lloyd Georgian enigma. First of all. who are the Liberals in the English life at present? And does any one really feel that Lloyd George is have at home, and that he has the feeling of | being at home among the Whigs? Men like Lloyd George are certainly at_home in the stupendous, constan political atmosphere which has been created in British psychology by liberal- i But. liberalism has been so tr umphant in England during the nine- teenth century and the beginning of the twentieth that as a party it has almost lost its raison d'etre. Under any label all English thinking politicians from Baldwin to MacDonald are Lib- erals. And while this constitutes the highest victory for a party, after all it is also a cause for its decandence in the practical field of life. - We _have seen that only a short time ago Mr. Lloyd George spoke of the iberal party as the next winning horse. But after acknowledging that Lloyd George is as deeply Liberal as a Bald- win is or as a Bannermann was, we must admit that few persons are as dis- tant as he from the remnants of Liberal party characteristics. Such character- istics are to be found today in very few men—in Lord Grey, for instance, and in some_elderly political writers like Gil- bert Murray or Spender, late editor of the Westminster Gazette.

Now, first of all, David Lloyd Grorge has genius, but he has not that touch of aristocracy. When he went to Ox- ford for his first visit he felt the pres- ence of this gulf and saved his pride by this witty boutade: I am so glad I never came here: this place would have bren with me all my life: I never would have recovered, and never would I ha been myself!

Being a radical and being imbued with a sort of vague nic spirit for he is Welsh by birth—Lloyd Geo is never satisticd by simple party achievements.
