Britain and the Colonies.

SPEECH BY LORD SALISBURY.

Lord Salisbury, in the course of an address to the Primrose League, said that in regard to the peace negotiations in South Africa, the Government had not receded from its former position, and it would not allow any position to arise whereby the Boers could renew the issue. The man ner in Which the colonies had warmed in their devotion to the Motherland was phenomenal. The loyal feeling came in so vast a volurnn that it added enormously to the Empire’s strength and influence. As regards federation, he added: “We cannot safely interfere legislatively with the natural development of our relations in the colonies concerning the difficulties as regards the burdens of finance and the duties of defence, the rights of decision of which the Motherland oould retain. I look with apprehension on any attempt to force the various parts of the Empire into a mutual arrangement for subordination, to which they are not ready. It would be calculated to produce a reaction in favour of the old state of things. If we are patient and careful, there is a tremendous destiny before us.”
