"AS-YOU-WERE PEACE " AN IMPERIAL DANGER
LORD BOSEBERY'S WARNING. Australian-New! Zealand Gable Awociation. (Rec. November 2, 5.15 p.m.)' London, November 1. The Earl of Rosebery, speaking at Edinburgh, said that the war had enabled the Empire to find itself. There was nothing so unifying as blood that had been shed in a common and righteous cause. Relaxing of the Empire ties, would follow an "as-you-were peace." He believed ■ that if such peace were concluded) the Dominions would cease to adhere to Britain. "If," said his Lordship, "there be a Minister, which, thank God, there isn't, who would be so cowardly and shortsighted and imbeoilo as to conclude a peace which would ; leave Prussia the same devilish power, as. in the past/ I am afraid our Dominions would say that a country so governed isn't the country to adhere to, and we had better find hotter statesmen of our own."
