"AN ORGANIC UNION OF FREE PEOPLES"
LORD MILNER ON THE IMPERIAL PROBLEM. By Toleerapli—Press Association—Copyrlr (Rec. November 18, 9.55 p.m.) London, No'ember 18. Lord Milner, speaking at King's College, said that lie felt painfully conscious that the Empire question hitherto had not attracted the masses, while the working classes even gave evidence oi hostility, but the war had awakened public opinion to the fact that our Empire did not menu militarism, but an organic union of free peoples. The Empire appealed-more to the colonies than to the Motherland. Tho tremendous heat, strength, and feeling which had been evolved by tho war provided the greatest, perhaps tho only, opportunity of doing something decisive. "We find ourselves after the war forced up against tho Imperial problem. If we worked our stubborn Empiro material into a now organic body, it would be some compensation for the terrible sufferings of war."
