Mr. L. George and the

OPPOSITION — London, 30

Mr. Lloyd George addressed demonstration of 5,000 persons at Woodford last night.

A dozen male suffragists were rejected violently and were tended in ambulances.

Mr. George denounced the cowardice of those who were engineering the opposition to the National Insurance Bill. He said that they were really starting a new anarchist movement. They seemed.to think that laws were devised to protect their property, privileges and sport and to keep the workers in order. It was a dangerous moment to) teach such doctrines, and the teachers of them were sowing a crop that] they might reap in tears a few years hence. There was " bigger task in front of democracy than it had _yet undertaken, namely, the froging of the land from the shackles of feudal lism. The Insurance Bill was but the beginning.
