: Editor North Shore Brecze, 
_ Dear Sir: 
- I shall be glad if you will allow me, 
_ through your paper, to take one or 
" two exceptions to the speaker, Mr. 
" Colyer, at the Brotherhood meeting 
on Monday evening, upon Conserip- 
_ tion and Lloyd Georgeism. ‘The in- 
ference drawn was that Lloyd George, 
who has been the working man’s 
friend all his life, and has reached 
the high position he has, is about to 
leave the Liberal party and throw in 
his. lot with the Conservatives, be- 
~ cause of the stand he has taken upon 
conscription. - 
I think this unfair to Lloyd George 
' as it is contrary to facts. Anyone 
~ with a fair knowledge of Lloyd 
* George and his politics knows that he 
has been the champion of the working 
_ man’s rights all his life. It was he 
- who carried through the National In- 
surance bill which has done so much 
to relieve sickness and distress and 
better the homes of the working peo- 
ple. It was he who carried through 
the Old Age Pension Dill which 
_ brought relief to thousands of old 
‘people and saved many from having 
' to break up their little homes and 
‘ 
bei 
+. 
spend their last days in the work- 
ae And it was he who brought 
forward the Land Reform bill, which 
- will mean more to the working people 
of Great Britain than any bill ever 
_ brought before the British Parliament. 
He has fought against conscription. 
He has fought against militarism. He 
has always been a great advocate of 
' peace. But when he saw Belgium's 
“neutrality violated, with all its hor- 
rors, France about to be crushed, was 
he the man to stand by and say let us 
have peace at any price? No, if 
‘Lioyd George is in favor of conscrip- 
‘tion now, it is because he thinks it is 
a necessity to defeat militarism which
