FEECHES EY

BY IMPERIAL MINISTERS,

Lender, 4th November. There has been food of political epessics this ovoning. Mr. Arthur J. Balfour, the First Lord of the Treasury, spare at Norwich; Air Michael Hicks.Rear, the Chancellor of the Erahequer, spoke at Shofield, and Mr. J Chamberlain, the Beoratory of State for the Colouice, at Giangon, My. Chamberlain's speech was an elaborato defence of the general policy

of the Government,

Sie Miobank Hicks-Bosch, who was the principal apeaker at the Cutlera Hanque, maintained "ile attitale he aged two years: ago, that England wanted reform.in military matters rather than an increase in the Army

which ho sabed the "anglicat in the world.” He said that if it could be shown that an in- eras was imporativa the nation would cheer. fully pay the oost, but he was by no menas con- vinced that a mere increase of men and ex- penditure was all that was needed.

Mr. Baltour, at- Norwich, denonwood Lend Rosebery's, statomost on Monday night,, at Manchester, that an Imperist "zállvorvín ** wámbi weaken the Empire internally and aroite, the permanent hostility of the whole world." Ha mid it is no concern of foreign nations what we do within the Empire," He announced (hat the Govorament had no desire of aggression on the North-west frontier of India, but sought only to maintain the present frontier.

The Times will generally hint editorially to morrow that throw much speakers defording tho policy of the Government on the same might mrours of a waste of energy and it would have bera bettor to spread it ever a moderate period. The Morning Post will also complain of such a waste of energy."
