THE PRODIGAL SON.
]\?h, LLOYD-GEORGE’S RELATION Tq THE CABINET.
FRANK UNIONIST CRITICISM
t UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYEIGHTJ (Received December 15, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 15. Addressing the 1900 Club Lord Lansdowne said that th© only legislation that had any chance of success was that introduced for securing the votes. This led to extravagance which would soon make the normal expenditure two hundred millions. A little care would make the Irish pensions less comprehensive and less costly. When national insurance was dangled before the country it was promised that it would not cost the country a farthing. Next year’s cost would bo seven millions. Another I£ millions would secure the doctor’s co-operation. The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr Lloyd George) once Cabinet’s financial conscience had become the prodigal son of the family.
