AN ELOQUENT PLEA.
SIR GMUGE REID STRIKES FORM. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright London, April 30. The Colonial Institute and the City gave a luncheon 4o welcome Sir George Reid. It was a record gathering and included the Agents-General, Lord Emmott, Admiral Fremantle, General Sir E. Hutton, Sir Albert Spicer and Sir -Tohn Fuller. Sir George Reid said the lessons learnt in the crisis of 1893 were seen in the stability of Australian finance today. Australia ■'was never more progressive or prosperous. He made an eloquent plea for self-sacrifice and farsightedness in the development of the Empire. His indirect references to Ulster were loudly cheered. Looking round the Empire it was not. he said, in India, Africa or the overseas dominions where unrest was found. Englishmen were an extraordinary people. Though they could tot agree among themselves they could manage the. affairs of 360 millions.
Sir George concluded with an appeal to Imperial .statesmen to hold the Empire free of internal conflagrations and not dig up black hatreds at the moment when the moss was growing green over them.
