Mr.
Clairman.
If
this
matier
is
to go to a
co nmittee
merely for the
pur-
pose of getting
more
elucidation:
on

I think Government
would be
wiliiag
to
give elucidaiions
today rather
than
have
the bill go oer to another
meetirg.
The
matter
cap
lest until after
recess.
The

remarked:
The
com-
mittee
can
e
formed
and meet
curing
the
recess

approach

London, Dec. 16th.—Mr. Balfour speak-

ing
at the
annual
meetitg
of
the
Em-
pire Parliamentary
Assoeciatior,
said
that
the
great
group
of
free
British
demo-
|
cracies
had only existed
for the
purpose
of fighting the recent
war, it would
noc
.
have
existed
in
vain,
but
we
must
re-
-
member
that
moments
of
prodigious
|
strain
were
always
loliowed by
periods
'
of
reaction.
We could
not
expect
to
be
.
free
from
this in our lmperial
relations,
The
diflicul.y which
statesmen
of Eng-
land
znd
the Dominions
had
experienced
tor
a gencration
or more
was
still
with
'
us,
of finding
some
organization
‘'which
shall
increase
unity ot action
without in-
terfering with
the absoluwe
autonomy
of
.
constituent
elements
of
the great
com-
i
munity
of
nations.
We
had
no
doubt
|
that
at the
Peace
Conferences,our
col.
-
leagues
among
the
Allies
sometimes
.
found a ceriain difficulty in dealing
with
|
five nations
as
though
they
were
on-
|
ly
one,
but
they
accepted
without
|
question
the
siwuation,
acted
upon
|
it,
and
did
thkcir
best
to
help
repre-
|
sentatives

they desired
to
join in

action,

Ip

gard
to
