EMPIRE TRADE DEFENCE.
HINDERED BY SOCIALISM. WILL THE COLONIES "DROP" BRITAIN? ' i By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, April 6. Lord Curzon, speaking at the Junior Imperial League dinner, deplored the dwindling interest in Imperial matters, but said that perhaps to a certain extent the Empire had conquered them. Meetings of the Imperial Conference on defence and trade produced the profoundest impression on public opinion, and even influenced Liberal opinion, and little was now heard about dropping the colonies. It was rather a question of whether the colonies would drop the Mother Country. The lack of interest in Imperial affairs was due largely to Socialism and anti-imperialistic propaganda. One of the duties of the next Unionist Government would be a searching enquiry into the cost of the Radical administration, which had erected a vast paid bureaucracy composed of its political adherents.
