THE COLONIAL PREMIERS.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TINNER. Received May 3, 9.30 a.m. LONDON, May 2. At the banquet given to the Premiers by the Chamber of Commerce, sixjhundred were present. Sir Joseph Ward, replying to the toast of the "Parliaments of the Empire," said that every great national community should have a voice in the management of the Empire. He added: "It is not worth impressing, on those who don't see eye to eye with us on preference, that we should carefully consider the possibilities and potentialities of our great Empire." .Mr Deakin, replying to the toast of the "Consolidation oi the Empire," promised the members of the Chamber of Commerce the heartiest welcome to Australia in 1909 (when a conference of all Chambers of Commerce will be held at Brisbane). The voyage would soon dispel apprehension as to Australia's sentiment of sympathy with the Motherland. "Trade made the Empire," said Mr Deakin, "and trade must continue to maintain it. Therefore, the voice of the trader should bs the first to receive public attention. Can you not trust yourselves to make bargains with your own kin?"
