He spoke to me with great freedom of his ideas in the hope that I might carry them with effect to the Prime Minister.

He proved to me that it was the nonsense of a schoolboy to talk of making Germany pay for the war, and suggested that the Prime Minister's main appeal to the nation at the General Election of 1918 should be a moral appeal for unity in the industrial world.

He had one master word for that great moment in our history.

It was the word "Production." I found this word unpopular in Downing Street.

Mr.Lloyd George was more mindful of Lord Northcliffe than of one "who cannot work with other men." And so the word went forth to the British peoples: Germany must pay for the war and the Kaiser must be tried.
