LLOYD GEORGE Taken on his fifty-first birthday a few days ago. Whether you agree or disagree with the little Chancellor, there is no doubt that he is taday the most potent, the most hated, loved, fear- ed, and admired figure in the British political arena. His career from the time he was a barefooted boy in a Welsh village till now has been a romance of polities, a triumph of persistence. The age of 51, despite his stormy and _ hard life, finds him as young as ever, and passing through a re- shuffle and disturbance in social and political life as he is, it interesting to conjecture down which path the Chancellor to lead an immense personal following.
