THE IMPERIAL POLICY.
[per press association—copyright.]
London, October 20,
Mr Chamberlain addressed 8000 Unionists at Waverley Market, Edinburgh, and gave a masterly view of the policy of the war. He preferred Government being blamed for being slow rather than too fast. The time was coming for the adoption of greater severity towards the Boer rebel guerillas. The speaker was tremendously cheered on describing tho nation’s patient, indomitable resolution to carry the war to a ligilimatc end. Keferring to the impossibility of the Boar terms of peace, he declined to make the colonies ashamed of their splendid co-operation, which was more valuable in its potential consequences in the future than an a'liance with the greatest Continental nation. He said that it was intended to curtail the Irish rowdiness and obstruction in tho House of Commons by the redress of over-representation before the dissolution.
Sir J. Campbell-Bannerman, speaking at Stirling, still favoured Home Rule, though no actual alliance existed with the Irish. He denounced the policy of subjugation and annihilation being pursued in South Africa.
