THE CHAPLAIN’S IMPRESSIONS.
By Telegraph— Press Association—Copyright
London, May 14.
Canon Dalton, who, as chaplain, accompanied the Prince of Wales on his recent colonial tour. read an ihtereating paper at the Royal Colonial Institute, embodying his impressions of the tour. The Canon held thpt the British-East Indian Squadron was too weak to prevent Russia or France occasioning regrettable incidents at Ceylon and Mauritius in the event of war.-~Ho noted the existence of a strong under-current of republican aspiration in Viotoria and New South Wales, though the local statesmen discouraged it. In future wSrs would be less easy. The Australian States would voluntarily support Great Britain, owing to the faot that everything depends upon the flat of the Federal Minister of Defence. He advocated a regenerate Imperial Parliament consisting of 150 or 200 members, with colonial representation. Homo Rule all round would be considered to be a step towards greater unity. It would be possible to separate Imperial from national matters, as well as to keep an open mind on the question of reciprocal trade relations..
