RADICALISM.

WORKERS’ REAL ENEMY. KEiil HAR DIE’S CAMPAIGN. [By Electric Telegraih—Codyriga - : ' [United Press Association.] (Received 9.5 a.in.) London, April 0. Mr Keir Hardie signalised his appointment to the leadership of the Independent Labour Party by initiating a campaign treating Radicalism as tne real enemy of the workers. He seeics vo snow that tne Radical Party is owned and controlled by great capitalists, and a list of millionaire supporters’is about to be circulated broadcast. “WILL THE COLONIES DROP US?” (Received 9.50 a.m.) , London, April 0.

Lord Curzon, speaking at the Junior Imperial League dinner, deplored the dwindling of interest in Imperial matters, but said that perhaps to a certain extent the Empire has conquered. as meetings of the Imperial Conference on defence and fade produced the profoundest impression on public opinion, and even influenced Liberal opinion, and little is now heaid about dropping + 'ne Colonies. It 1S rather a question of whether the Colonies will drop us. Lack of interest in Imperial affairs is due largely to Socialism, and an anti-imperialist propaganda, which offers as a solution the speculation and constitution of capital. One of the duties of the next Unionist Government will be a searching inquiry into the cost of the Radical administration, which has erected a vast and paid bureaucracy composed of political adherents.
