The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lloyd George, whose Budget will probably be the cause of a great Constitutional revolution in England before many months are past, delivered a speech at Newcastle- on-Tyne on Saturday afternoon which for sheer rant, vicious invective, and unvarnished sophistry can be compared only to the same gentleman’s disgraceful outburst at Liinehouse some months ago. Unfortun ately the space at our disposal does not permit of our giving the speech verbatim, but the chief points we print below are ample to prove the unrestrained virulence of the orator. Among a certain class of British politician it has become the fashion to play to the gallery by violently attacking the ndbility, and imputing to them most of the ills from which the country is suffering. Alliteration is also becom ing a favourite style of oratory, and it must oe confessed that in coining the phrase, “Dukes or Dreadnoughts,’’ Mr. Lloyd George has displayed a taient foi rhyme which will doubtless raise him still higher in the estimation of the mob for whom he so liberally caters. We do not think that this speech, as it lies be fore us, presents any really knotty points to the Unionist critics whose task it will be to point out the fallacies and shallow excuses with which it abounds. We are not concerned to examine this speech from a partisanship point of view. But for the good name of English politics, and the traditions of dignity and moderation which have distinguished the Mother of Parliaments above all other adminis trative bodies in the world, we heartily deplore the verbal excesses to which even Cabinet Ministers have resorted in defence of an indefensible measure. The Chancellor’s language at Limehouse and Newcastle, in its direct appeal to the lowest, most ignorant prejudices of the masses, in its utter disregard for the rudiments of controversial etiquette, is unparal leled save by the Grub Street lampoonists of the eighteenth century. Signs are not wanting of a pend ing great change in British parliamentary customs, and some even prophesy a revolution in the exist ing relations between Lords and Commons. We sincerely trust that an attempt will be made to so regulate the appointment of Ministers that in future the national dignity will not be lowered to the dust by amateur statesmen whose ignorance of legislative principles is only equalled by their sublime disregard for the decencies of political debate. CHIEF POINTS OF THE SPEECH. Mr. Lloyd George addressed a crowded meeting at the Palace Theatre, Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Satur day afternoon. Sir William Angus, president of the National Liberal Federation, presided. Elaborate pre parations were made by means of barriers outside the hall to keep the general public, and especially the Suffragettes, from coming too near the building. Mr. Llcyd George was received with tremendous cheering on entering the hall. The vast crowd, numbering 4.000, joined in singing “For he’s a jolly good fellow.” Although ladies were not generally admitted, there were several on the platform, including Lady Runci- man and Mrs. Lloyd George. The Chairman said that Mr. Lloyd George had given his Budget a soul, and had made it inspiring, pulsating with human sym pathies. He regarded the House of Lords as a bramble commanding the trees of the forest, namely, the King and the people, as represented by the Commons. The Commons were standing on their defence, and would not prove unworthy of the patriotism and courage of their fathers. They were meeting the situation with a united Government. The Chancellor’s speech then followed, these be ing the principal points he made: He had previously at Newcastle dwelt upon the burdens imposed upon industry by ground landlords, and suggested it was time for them to contribute to the State something out of the wealth earned for them by others. He thought that would be done in a few weeks. The Budget had come through all its most troublesome stages, and had emerged much strengthened and improved. It was there in its main structure—the land taxes were there and the super-tax was there. DRESDEN CHINA :: Own workmanship :: Lowest prices Retail Export Wholesale Trade Mark. A* E.

The chief charge against the Budget was that it was an attack on indus'ry and properly. Since the attack on the Budget was first promulgated trade had improved and industries were beginning to make profits. There had been, on 'he whole, an improvement in brewery shares. The only stock that had gone down was the Dukes, in which there had been a great s'ump. A fully-equipped Duke costs as much to keep up as a couple of “Dreadnoughts.” They were just as great a terror, and lasted longer. As long as Dukes were idols all went welt; but then came the Budget, and they stepped down from their perches.’ ' *• The richest men in the House of Commons sat on the Liberal side, and yet they were told these Liberals were engaged in destroying propcrly^and riches and industry. All they asked was that wealth should pay its (air share. The chief objection of the great landlords to the Budget lay in the fact that it contained valuation proposals which went to the root of the land question. To the great landlords he said. “You have escaped just long enough. It is your turn now ” The Go.eminent were going to have all the taxes in the Budget or none. NEWS OF THE WORLD. Mr. Asquith returned to London on Saturday morn ing, on the conclusion of his visit to the King at Balmoral The Premier was due at King’s Cross at 7.35, but his train was almost an hour late. A num ber of people were on the platform to witness his arrival, including some women, who attracted a good deal of attention from the police, the suggestion be ing that they were Suffragettes. One woman con cealed herself behind the pillars supporting the bridge across the station, and was within a few feet of the Prime Minister’s motor car. Mr. Asquith stepped briskly out of the sleeping compartment of the train, accompanied only by his manservant. The Prime Minister walked straight across to his car, and had just taken his seat when the woman who had con cealed herself rushed up to the door of the vehicle and shouted, “Votes for Women.’*; She was im mediately seized by two policemen, whereupon, ad- dress’ng herself to the Prime "Minister; she asked, “When are you going to give votes for women, sir''” Mr. Asquith took no notice of her, but lifted his hat in response to the salutations of others upon the platform. As the woman was led away by the two officers she again cried, “Votes for women! When will you give us votes for women?” A gentle man standing near to the car indignantly answered, “When are you going to learn to behave yourself?” The car then moved off without further incident, the Prime Minister driving to his official residence in Downing-istreet. Mr. Asquith, on his return to Down- ing-sfreet, was visited by Lord Aberdeen, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. There will be no meeting of the Cabinet next week, and in official circles (says the Exchange Company) it is now believed to be highly improbable that the prorogation of Parlia ment can take place before quite the end of November. 43 seconds, and the British Admiral expressed him- seif as delighted with the trip. Admiral Seymour sailed for home on the Inflexible. Interviewed before his departure, he expressed his deep regret at the war scares which had become so notable a feature of the Press in recent years. If the proprietors of news papers, said the Admiral, only realised the great in fluence which they wielded over the minds of their fellow-countrymen they would cease to countenance the appearance in the journals they controlled of these deplorable incitements to jingoism and panic. As the British squadron steamed out of the bay, the German warships signalled: “Delighted to have met you Auf Wiedersehen!” An equally cordial reply was made. Admiral of the Fleet Sir E. Seymour on Friday had the interesting experience of a ride on. a New York Central Locomotive Express. Thirty miles were covered, the fastest speed attained being a mile in On Sunday at Perigueux the French Premier, M. Briand, delivered his long expected speech. His re marks were received by a large audience with con tinual applause, particularly when the Minister em phatically affirmed his intention of placing the tran quillity of the Republic far above mere party intei- ests. A reform that was urgently necessary, con tinued M. Briand, was that of the law respecting old age pensions for working people and peasants. The Republican party must dissociate itself from local interests and think only of the welfare of the entire country. The Government would not remain in office for an hour if it were mot in a position to infuse new life into the Republican party.. After discussing various social questions, M. Briand said that he would energetically advance working men’s organisations and work to ensure the co-operation of these organisations with the Government for the ultimate benefit of the nation. All sincere Republi cans must rally round the Government to render possible the carrying into effect of reforms. He was nol discomposed by the attacks of the extremists of the right or the left. If, however, attempts were made to follow these verbal onslaughts by deeds, he would be there to close the thoroughfare. The en thusiastic reception accorded to the troops by the populace during the recent manoeuvres had furnished the best answer to those who asserted that if the country were once attacked, it would be left to its fate by its own children. The French Army was in a position to fulfil its tasks in spite of every difficulty. M. Briand concluded: “The country is con serving its strength and will live and thrive. It will never permit that its renown or its existence be inter fered with. If Such an unfortunate attempt were to be made from any side, it would be seen that all Frenchmen would march shoulder to shoulder to de fend theii beloved Fatherland.” M. Briand’s speech was frequently interrupted by stormy applause, and at its conclusion the crowd raised cries of “Vive Briand !” “Vive la Republique !” The official results of the aviation week at Juvlsy, near Paris, were communicated to us by telegraph yesterday as follows: Count Lambert won the Kastner prize by covering the two-kilometre course in 2miuj 19sec.; he also won the Neuflisse prize for the two best rounds, which v distance he completed in 4min. 18 3-5sec.; together with the prize of the Municipal Council lot the best round at a height of 40 metres, which the Count covered in 2min. 27sec. The Grand Council’s prize was also won by this successful aviator, who flew the prescribed five rounds in lOmin. 52sec The second place was won by M. Paulhan, in 13m;n. 37sct. The flights were witnessed by 200,000 specta tors. The promoters of this competition have now decided to enlarge the ground and to request the assistance of *500 soldiers for next Sunday. While the vast crowds were leaving the ground on Sunday, at the close of the flights, disturbances arose ow'ing to the inadequacy of the train traffic. The crowd broke into the room of the railway officials and wrecked it, besides smashing every window in sight. They complained that not sufficient trains were run. During the crush several persons were trampled underfoot, but no serious injuries are reported. M. Bleriot won the first speed prize at the Frank- fort-on-Main flying competition by covering the round in 1min. 17sec., while the second prize was carried off by Baron de Caters, who did the sam^ distance in Lmin. 18 l-5sec. Bleriot also won the first’distance prize by flying about 18 kilometres in 17min. 23sec, de Caters again being second with 14 kilometres in 12min. 14sec.
