D.LLOYD GEORGE, M.P.
_Photo: Reginald Haines, Southampton Row, W.C._] Already Mr.Lloyd George's Budget and his speeches in support of the Budget have made the name of the Chancellor of the Exchequer familiar to the people of Great Britain; and now, in the eager discussion on his Bill for National Insurance, that name is still more loudly spoken.

Hated by opponents and praised by admirers, denounced and extolled, Mr.Lloyd George enjoys the tumult he arouses.

His passionate speeches for the poor provoke the sympathy of the working class; his denunciations of the rich stir the anger of all who fear social revolution.

Hostile critics deny any constructive statesmanship in Mr.Lloyd George's plans and orations, and prophesy a short-lived tenure of office.

Radical supporters hail him as a saviour of society, and are confident that under his leadership democracy will enter the promised land of peace and prosperity for all.
