Lord Salisbury wrote to the Times of Wednesday to ask
Mr. Lloyd George exactly what he had meant when be said in his correspondence with Lord Wolmer that if Lord Wolmer wanted "to take a high line as to Ministerial investments, let him and his fellow-Cecils begin giving their lessons at home." Lord Salisbury pointed out that he and his father were the only Cecils who held office in recent years, and asked what Mr. Lloyd George's charge was against them. In Thursday's Times Mr. Lloyd George replied that Lord Salisbury "unduly narrows his family circle." He says that he did not refer to either Lord Salisbury or his father, and then goes on : "If Lord Salisbury really wishes for particulars, I can and will readily furnish them ; but the responsibility must be his for their publication. I am going abroad to-morrow, but I shall not go beyond the circulation of the Times, and I shall without delay furnish all details if they are demanded."
