DAVID LLOYD GEORGE (1863-1945)
A 28pp. typed speech in note form, annotated in Lloyd-George's hand, on paper headed St. George's Hotel, Llandudno and dated Llandudno, May 25, 1932. This stresses how the victorious allies have failed to disarm as they agreed at the Treaty of Versailles: "Not one of them seriously means to disarm. Not much hope for mankind there...Baldwin's vague phrases mean? Anything. Everything. Nothing." Lloyd George also discusses currency and trade protectionism, in particular Winston Churchill's plan to go back on the gold standard, and ends the speech by expressing a total lack of confidence in Baldwin's Government: "We have very little to hope, I fear, from this Government. All we can do as ordinary seamen is to do our best to call the attention of the country to the gravity of the peril ...;" together with 13pp. of manuscript notes for another speech on paper headed Bron-Y-De, Churt, Surrey, ending: "Put honour greatness of country we love above material wealth -- life itself. Appeal these proposals examined in same spirit of high & fearless patriotism & resolution." (2)
