COLONIES AND THE MOTHERLAND. United Press Association—Copyright (Received 4.50 p.m., Nov. 14.) LONDON, Nov. 23. Colonel Seely, presiding at the annual dinner of the Imperial Federation Defence Committee, urged the reconstruction of tho committee, advocating representatives of both political parties and of the colonies." General Hutton regarded Mr. Haldane's and Lord Tweedmoutli’s adoption of the principle of co-operation in matters of defence as highly important. Sir Gilbert Parker thought moropraotical work had been accomplished at theCoilonialConference on the mil—>tary than on the. naval side. Colonial naval defence'ought to be proportionate to the growing wealth of ■ tho colonies. • Air. Harold Cox said tho colonies and the Motherland ought to make a . fair bargain. It was unfair to leave tlio whole burden to the Motherland.
