UNIVERSITY MICROFILMS Sir, in Cambria are we born, and gentlemen: Further to boast were neither true nor modest, Unless I add we are honest. Belarius in Cymbeline. Act V, sc. v. PREFACE In 1927 Lloyd George became the recognized leader of the Liberal party with the stated aim of making it over into a viable third party. Time and again he averred that the Liberal mission was to hold the balance— as had Parnell's Irish Nationalists— between the two major parties in Parlia­ ment. Thus viewed in these terms the Liberal revival of the late 1920's must be accounted a success for at no time did the Liberals expect to supplant the Labour party as the party of the left. The subtitle reads: "A Study in Political Communi­ cation " because communications theory provided the starting point for this study. But communications theory is not im­ posed in any arbitrary fashion, for Lloyd George and his fol­ lowers were obsessed with exploiting modern methods of commu­ nications.

It began by recalling the programme of Peace, Retrenchment and Reform on which the great Liberal victory of 1906 had been won. Conciliation in South Africa, wrote Brunner, seemed to usher in a policy of friendliness and goodwill towards foreign countries, with improvements of international law and a general reduction of the burden of armaments. But since the naval panic of 1909 our Foreign Office and Admiralty had yielded to the clamour of the Jingo Press, Parliament had been misled, and no heed has been paid to the protests of the National Liberal Federation or to the constant criticisms of Liberal economists in Parliament and the Press. The invention and advertisement of the Dread- nought by our Admiralty have proved a curse to man-. kind, and not least to our own people and our German, neighbours; for both sorely need the money they have - wasted to remove slums, to improve housing in town and country, and to multiply gardens. If this destruc-.. five rivalry in naval armaments goes on unchecked, it threatens to submerge civilization and to destroy society.
