may yet again be premier of England, Who can tell but thai hl$ Visit to America is designed as another one of his sagacious moves in this direction?
Though there is much of the idealist about Lloyd George he is always the clever politician. Before the War his advocacy of old-age pensions, health insurance, unemployment insurance, better housing for .worktnginen, and other such social reform legislation, led many people, especially his political enemies to regard him as a Socialist. Lloyd George is not and never was a Socialist, but he is a genuine democrat. His liberalism has neen sincere and consistent throughout. Unlike Woodrow Wilson who is also a great liberal spirit, Lloyd George has none of the academic aloofness and "stand-offishness'* of his American contemporary. Lloyd George has always stood close to the average man. He has always kept his fingers on 'the pulse of things and his ear close to the ground. He, therefore, was in a better position to understand and voice the sentiments of the masses. This is why Lloyd George remained in power so long. This accounts for the tremendous popularity which he still enjoys all over Great Britain, though his party has wilted under the fire-of post-war criticism, ami he is to-day only a plain citizen.
In international affairs Lloyd George proved himself a shrewd sfatesman. \Yhile at Versailles he never ventured too far afield in the �domain'of ideals. This he left to-.Mr. Wilson. Lloyd George is a past master at the game ,of diplomacy. At the peace table he proved the equal of Clemencea.u, and both succeeded in putting it-all. over Woodrow Wilson, who as Lord Hirkenhead stated the other d�y, brought with him to Versailles only idealism,..but no knowledge of the game. :' . �. .-" . -.- ��' � . � .. ; ��"" � � "�.-�.��. : : .

In politics Lloyd. George is what H. .G. Wells is in literature. Both men are neither original nor profound� They are scintillating and clever, fytffi are in reality journalists and popularizers, only each has chosen a . different medium of expression. Of the two, Lloyd -'George is undoubtedly the better journalist. It may not l>e generally known, but Lloyd George has been in journalism ever since his early youth. They say the things which most people will believe in. They are forward looking without ignoring the necessity of consistently looking backwards in order to look forward. They are practical idealists. In the field of politics the practical idealist

THE^TRUTH ABOUT THE JEWS
1 In another/column we re-print an editorial from the Kingston, Ont., Daily Standard of Thursday, September Li; entitled: "Jews "as" Citizens;" .which we commend to our readers. We do so because it contains a 'frank, tDDi^vt and unprejudiced judgment by a Canadian

editor of the. Jews. It is not often that the Jew receives unbiased treatment- -in the press. Jewish readers are accustomed to perusing .tht rankest -stupidities about their people in the.'newspapers.- Sometime? these inanities are the result of sheer ignorance. This^'in a newspaper editor or journalist is a serious handicap. One expects those who are the formulators of public opinion to know the facts about a constitutent element of the general population as important to tht life of the nation as the Jews. Yet so many newspaper men seen-i to write best alx>ut the-Jewt when wholly undisturbed by the facts. In "the wordb of Art.ernus_Ward, "It's not ignorance does harm, but "saymp.-Bo- matiy things that ain't:" Though the misinformation about the Jew* in the ptr'bHc press which is the result of ignorance is lameiitabU:. it i^ nevertheless pardonable.
