SEWARD. ALASKA. Tl'KSDAY, DECEMBER 5, ItHfi
The crisis in the British cabinet just now indicates a
very serious condition. 1 he worst ol it all is the tesigna
tion of Lloyd George, the only man the empire has pro
duced since the beginning of the war who has shown the
ability and strength necessary to meet the tremendous
requirements. Lloyd George is a man who came fiom a
humble origin. He was brought up by his uncle, a shoe
maker. but was the son of a half-starved Nonconformist
preacher. By a struggle he became an attorney, and an
attorney in Great Britain means only a secondary legal
profession, i'rom this humble beginning George came to
be the idol of W ales because of his wonderful strength of
dun-actor and iiis absolute democracy, honesty amt inde
pendence. He was the tirst man to make the titled and the
wealthy pay their fair share of the taxation when he be
came chancellor ol tile exchequer. I-or this the capital
ists ami the great landowners hated and reviled him.
Over and over again some titled nincompoop reminded
uie world of the fact that George had come from a poor
i'amilv and was onh a village attorney, and George got
back by ridiculing the Dukes and taxing them still more.
Then came the war. The descendants of long lines of
titled idiots were faced by real \)ork and one by one they
failed. They sent men to light the Germans unprepared
and even the lurks gathered the British soldiers in like
so many rabbits. The Mesopotamia campaign is now be
ing investigated and it lias been found that Townsends
forces started against the lurks unready. The Antwerp
and Dardanelles fiascos were others. The British rulers,
with all tiuir college culture and eloquence and “dog”
were unable to cope with the magnificent business-like
organization of the enemy. And then came the Welsh
village attorney to the rescue, fhe blunderers who had
reviled him begged his aid whenever they found them
selves in a tight corner. They made him minister of mun

lias always been the best friend, thev made him minister

for war and now they were speaking of making him prime
minister when his resignation comes like a bolt from the
blue. Why has Lloyd George resigned? How is it that
the onlv reallv great number of the British government
finds it necessary to quit at this supreme moment?
It is probably because of the jealousy of the nincom
poops that one who was not born to the purple should be
their master. George is a real lover of liberty and as such
v %
is hated. He is a real leader born and as such is hated still
more. No doubt .there are members of the British house
of lords today who would rather see the British empire
crushed and humbled than to see their own privileges
threatened. Lloyd George took away the power of the
house of lords and made the British government more
democratic than ever. It looked as though Britain was
on the wav towards real democracy until the coalition
cabinet was formed and the Lansdownes, Carsons, Bal
fours, Cecils and the rest were chosen to lead the empire
against Germany. W hat has been the result? The re
sult suggests that the glorious leaders must have gone to
meet the German as they went to meet half tame grouse
in the coverts with hired men to carry their guns. No
wonder George is disgusted.
