Imperial Politics.
London, January 7, Mr Chamberlain, speaking at Birmingham, said that war was preferable to a mean surrender of Britain’s heritage, involving England’s losing the confidence of kindred nations whose future rivals were hers. There was hardly a man in Australia, in Canada, or in the rest of the colonies, who had not expressed scorn and contempt for politicians who systematically spoke and worked against their own country. He warned trades unions that the attempts .to restrict the output would damage the workmen and employers. It was impossible to deal with the question of old age pensions until friendly benefit societies, trades unions, and co-operative associations unite in adopting a practicable scheme, clearly distinguishing poverty as the result of misfortune or illhealth from poverty due to misconduct or improvidence.
