London, Nov. 3.
Mr. Lloyd George crossed swords with Mr. Neville Chamberlain in the House of Commons yesterday over the latter's speech on Tuesday, in which the Premier deprecated statements "by persons, in responsible positions, who have had an opportunity of broadcasting to the world that the British are decadent."
In an interview, Mr. George said that he was not sure whether Mr.
Chamberlain was referring to his speech to America or that of Mr Winston Churchill member of the Conservative party for the Epping division of Kent.
Mr. George added that as far as his speech was concerned, it was delivered to free churchmen primarily. "The Premier seems to be acquiring the airs of a dictator, from associations. It is a new doctrine of the British democracy, that one cannot criticize ' the Government thout a liability charge of fouling one's own nest."—Reuter.
