From Wikipedia:
On 17 January 1935 Lloyd George sought to promote a radical programme of economic reform, called “Lloyd George’s New Deal” after the American New Deal. However the programme did not find favour in the mainstream political parties. Later that year Lloyd George and his family reunited with the Liberal Party in Parliament. In March 1936 Lloyd George met Adolf Hitler at the Berghof in Berchtesgaden and offered some public comments that were surprisingly favourable to the German dictator, expressing warm enthusiasm both for Hitler personally and for Germany’s public works schemes (upon returning, he wrote of Hitler in the Daily Express as “the greatest living German”, “the George Washington of Germany”).
