Extract

To see Harold (Rothermere) at Savoy Court. He tells me that Lloyd-George is gravely uneasy about the way the bye-elections are going and is angling for his support in the Press. Broad hints have been thrown out by a trusted emissary of Ll.-G.’s that Harold can have the Colonial Secretaryship if he likes. He is to see Ll.-G. on Monday.
