IMPERIAL FEDERATION
"A COUNCIL OF THE EMPIRE." By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, November I. Lord Hugh Cecil, in a letter to the Times, says that Irish Home Rule is as out of place in Imperial Federation as sewage in milk. The Empire at present does not want and would not tolerate an Imperial Parliament, and certainly would not accept laws and imposts enacted in London. It is not a Parliament, but a Council of the Empire that is needed, with only consultative powers to deal with the defence of the Empire and ultimately with other Imperial problems.
CANADIAN OPINION. London, November 4. The Times' Toronto correspondent, commenting on Mr. O'Connor's arguments for Federal Union of the Empire rather than absolute self-government, culminating in the political independence of Ireland, says it is freely asserted that Earl Grey and Sir Wilfrid Laurier are in favor of the reorganisation of the Empire after the Federal pattern.
