FISCAL REFORM.
SPEECH BY MR BALFOUR. HIS VIEWS UNCHANGED. CLOSER UNION OF THE EMPIRE. LIBERAL LEADERS BLAMED FOR THEIR SILENCE. Received 3, 4.55 p.m. London, February 2. Mr Balfour, in a speech at Hull, said he was not aware of the need of issuing a monthly bulletin defining his fiscal news, which were unchanged. He was more and more convinced that Britain had trreatly suffered through self-imposed trammels. He expressed a desire for the closer union of the Motherland and the colonies. The party in power was blamable for not saying a single thing publicly to indicate they sympathised with the means the self-governing colonies proposed for ensuring the unification ana . solidification of the Empire. "Fiscal reform," said Mr Balfour, "is still the main constructive plank of the Unionist policy, but if we become a party with one idea, we will fail to carry that and other reforms."
