MONUMENT IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN.
PREMIER'S GLOWING TRIBUTES
LONDON, August 11. There was an interesting incident in the House of Commons on the cccasion of the Prime Minister moving that His Majesty be humbly asked to direct the erection at the House's expense of a monument within the precincts of the palace and at Westminster to the memory of late Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, with an inscription expressing the House's high sense of His eminent services to the country and Empire.
Mr. Lloyd George, in the course of a long and glowing tribute said that there were few men in the history of Britain whe retained a passionate attachment to so many millions of his country: then over such a long period. Much of Mr. Chamberlain's policy remained in the ranks of acute controversy, but a large part was now beyond challenge by any section and it was large enough to accord him exalted fame in the region of British statesmanship. His vision of the importance of strengthening the partnership of the Empire-had already beep justified by the stemnest and most searching test applicable to any proposal, namely that of a great world war.
