EMPIRE'S FUTURE.
THE NEW NEXhS. GERMAN ZOLLVEREIN. OR FREE-TRADE UNION. By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyriehl London, November It. Sir Donald Mackenzio Wallace, speaking at the Authors' Club, and dealing with the question of Imperial obligations, said that the antiquated idoa that the great Empire was governed by a group of clerks in Downing Street was out of tho question; but what was to bo tho new nexus holding together tho sporadic units? It was unreasonable to expect the prcsont powerful sentimental tic of brotherhood of itself to resist, for all timo the centrifugal forces of local interest; it must Ijo supported and strengthened by prosaic material advantages. He could only imagine two types of Imperial federa-tion-one resembling the old German Zollvcrein, or tho other a Free-trade Union strong enough to compote in tho Western World. Better types might be discovered, but tho solution of tho problom woidd constitute a triumph of statesmanship.
