SAY LLOYD GEORGE
HAS GAINED POWER
"Bigger Man Than When He
Went te Genea," Is Ver
dict of Newspapers
Ity the Associated Prens
Londen, May 2'J. With the excep
tion of Lord Nnrthcllffe's Weekly Din
patch the Kunday newspapers yester
day continued the editorial welcome
which featured I'temler Ideyd Geerge's
arrival from Genea en Saturday.
""T1ie Wunday Times sums up Mr.
Lloyd Geerges position as follews:
"We should say the Tremier lias re
turned with n slightly firmer held ever
the geed will of the country than he
had when he started. If It
Is his desire te continue at the head of
the coalition there Is nothing te pre
vent him. There will he no
I vote of censure for his conduct nt
'Genea. If any one were rash enough
i te propose it he would stand but a
ghost of a chance in cither house of
I Parliament."
. Under the captien: "The here of the
fight," the Observer says that Lloyd
I Geerge returns a bigger man than when
Ihe went te Genea, and that in his
'moral nature he stands a far greater
statesman than before. It was te be
regretted that he should be the object
of the attacks of enemies at home, but
"we believe tht vast majority of men
and women In Great Britain, Irrespec
tive of party, are determined te pay
their frank tribute te the Premier's
efforts."
Called Europe's Peacemaker
The Observer adds that it is sig
nificant that Lord Leng, who has never
pretended te see eye te eye with Lloyd
Geerge, has initiated a general ex
pression of thanks nnd admiration
such as was given Balfour when he
returned from the Washington Con
ference. ,
The Sunday Kxprcss believes the
people have made It plain that they
are behind the Premier's Genea peace
campaign, by their warm welcome.
"Lloyd Ocerge," it dds, ",w"8
ever the devastated lands as the peace-
iii1ah tt Vlltantin. "
Lloyd's Weekly News concedes that
the Prime Minister lias net returned
with the restoration of hurenc in Ids
pocket, nevertheless "his work for
pence in the face of unparalleled diffi
culties and International Jealousies
mark him as the greatest statesman of
our times,"
Returns "Full nt Fight"
The Kefcrcc views him returning
"with n stout heart, holding his head
high, full of fight and confidence and
bringing with hlni the first fruits of
peace." His success was partly lim
it ed by the absence of America at
Genea, "but chiefly by the wrecking
policy of Franre, backed by a powerful
section of the British press, whlcb
carried en. a venomous camA.1
against .him." caml

Richard Spillane says:
"Only through geed business, elasticity of
ideas, and fair dealing can a business firm
survive a century.
"A century of commercial life is the hall-mark of integrity, honesty of goods, and
dependability in all its human and material ways.
"Ne section of the western world has such a large proportion of business houses with
a century of honest, worthy service and achievement te its credit as Philadelphia. Pennsyl
vania probably has one-half of the century-old commercial organizations of North America,
and Philadelphia has a vast majority of the Pennsylvania body.
"It is an honor and a distinction, rare in American business life, te be eligible te
membership in this unique body.
"The whole Natien has, reason te be proud of organizations of this character." .
