LONDON, Jan. 20. At tho National Liberal Club’s banquet, Mr. Churchill, in referring to bis travels, said lie was astonished at the beauty, fertility, and resources of the countries he had visited. He did not dispute the right of the Transvaal and Australia to make what arrangements they thought necessary in respect of Asiatic immigration. It was entirely within the authority deliberately conceded to them by the House of Commons. He hoped that tlie nation and Parliament would honestly try to grasp tlie colonists’ point of view, and to understand tlieir difficulties. Mr. Churchill suggested that the Equatorial provinces• of Africa might supply a compensating field for the colonizing enterprise of British Indians.
