IMPERIAL UNION.
■ MUST NOT BE FORCED,
(By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received November 25th, 11.25 p.m.) LONDON, November 25. Mf Herbert Samtiel, speaking at the National Liberal Club, said the best service the Motherland could render the Dominions was to manage tho foreign relations Empire soberly and sincerely, maintain peace, abstain from aggressiveness, and keep up adequate armaments. Ho did not believe that the present Constitution, or absence of Constitution, could be tho final form, of relations between the ilotherland and the Dominions. There would be no greater folly than to press forward this question before the time was ripe for its solution. ..The- Committee of .Defence might be tho beginning of an organisation common to the whole Empire. Any future Imperial union must reconcile unity with loyal autonomy, and must come- by growth, not by manufacture.
