SOCIALISTS CALLED MENACE TO
BRITAIN
The following was carried by tho
Associated Press: London, March
23. A bitter attack on socialism
was made by Prime Minister Lloyd
George in a speech at a luncheon to
day of "new members of tho coali
tion group," as the participants In
tho luncheon party were styled .
"The military dangers which
united the parties have disappeared,"
said Mr. Lloyd George, "but greater,
more insidious more permanent dan
gers still confront us. The great
peril is the rise to power of a new
party with new purposes of tho most
subversive character."
"It calls itself 'labor.' It is really
socialist It is tearing the parties to
pieces on its way to tearing society
to pieces. Those who are inclined to
agree with Mr. Asiiuith and Lord
Bentinck that the labor party is a
bogy should read the socialist and
labor papers for a week.
"Socialism is fighting to destroy
everything that tho great prophets
and leaders of both parties unionist

for them.
"Those still inclined to rogard tho
labor party as a bogy should look
at the by-elections of 1920 and 1921.
The addition of 4 per cent would
put the socialists in the majority, and
there is a margin of 15 to 20 per cent
who do not vote.
"Suppose that by tho working up
of grievances the coalition was de
feated and the socialists won a ma
jority. They would not seek to re
move these grievances, but would rip
out the whole system of society."
The prime ministed asked those
who realized tho danger to close their
ranks. They must take all possible
steps, who said, to instruct tho elec
ors, who must, at no distant date, de
cide the issue.
