Excerpt from The Living Age: November 18, 1922 The former Premier seems to have few defenders even in his home press. The New Statesman says: 'for four years Mr. Lloyd George has been allowed to explain away the most tre mendons series of blunders for which ever a British Minister was responsible. He may be the greatest of mates, but he is certainly the most dangerous of captains. An honest fool would have served better the fundamental interests of Great Britain and of the Empire during the past four years.' The Outlook regards Lloyd George as 'the first autocrat to rule over these islands since Cromwell.' E. T. Ray mond, writing in the same weekly, con siders that the former Premier still stands first on any list of possible prime ministers in the future. 'he is the only possible head of a coalition.'
