IMPERIAL FEDERATION.
At no' iime -iii th? history : of ' the.;! British was "the Imperialistic i instinct more conspicuous in politi- j pal life than; at the present. And j not for many yeai'shas the necessity ■■ for close ■fraternal relations .between the Motherland" and the overseas units' been more pronounced.. ; Unfortunately, ,this necessity has not impressed itself upon therrimd of the averag&New Zealander in; its proper''' light. In" these times of few? can ,be brought to realise theperilous position' of the Empire, and fewer still the responsibilities of citizenship. It is in the v hope ; ; <of quickening the- sense' of V; individual' responsibility, and of'awakening the public conscience to a fuller appreciation of the benefits to be derived from the maintenance of British su-. premacy, tnat Mr A. S. Malcolm', M.P., is at present conducting a tour of the Dominion. It is to be hoped that the attendance at the Town Hall to-night will demonstrate that Masterton, at ahyrate, is not lacking in the patriotic "sentiment which makes for the preservation of ,national ideals and the permanent development of .the Empire. :
