MR. LLOYD GEORGE ON HIS TOUR.

AN OBJECT LESSON TO THE WORLD.

Acknowledging the freedom of the borough which was conferred upon him on November ath, at the Palace Theatre; Southampton. Mr. Lloyd George, who earlier in the day had arrived from America by the fajestic, said:-

I visited parts of Canada. I was in Canada twenty-four years ago and I found most wonderful changes in that vast Dominion--the premier Dominion of the Crown. In one respect, however, there was no charge of opinion. The people were as loyal to the Empire and to the Crown as they were twenty-four years ago, and I found that the loyalty of Canada and her sans and daughters to the flag is as intense perhaps more in tense, than it is in the old land". It is a source of pride and confidence in the future of the British Empire that you feel as it grows in wealth and power, 48| it grows in population, it is growing in attachment to this country and Empire and confidence in its destiny, (Cheers.)

AN CHARMED FRONTIER.

I had a few weeks in the United States of America. Here I passed from under the British flag to the Stars and Stripes. I never knew a frontier-there was no thing to mark it. If I passed frontiers in Europe there would have been armed men, causons, and there would have been examinations-perhaps more searching examinations now and again. Here you have the most remarkable frontiers in the world, thousands of miles in extent, and no armed men facing each other, armed against each other. You have hundreds, if not thousands, of miles of water-the Great Lakes, which are really seas, with no Dreadnoughts, no flotillas, but a few police boats, which have got their work ent out-laughter)-not in locking after the water-renewed laughter)-people living as neighbours ought to live, as, good friends ought to live.

It is a marvellous frontier, a marvellous object lesson. It shows what nations can

All the hundreds of thousands of graves in Flanders and France are monuments to fair play. That is the con- tribution which these races make. They use the word, we use the word, we both understand it, and that is why I am a believer in the possibility of these two Commonwealths se acting together as to put this troubled world right in the end.

I am really glad that within the last fee weeks real progress has been made in co-operation between these two great countries to bring order out of chaos in Europe. I remember when Mr. Secre arr Hugbes made his mementous speech in December of last year. It struck me then it was a new departure, not merely in handling European situations, but a now departure in the relations of these two great countries. I regret the delay in taking up his initiative, but it has been acted upon. They are now working together. It is vital to the interests of the world that, having started, we should mon, the United States of America and arselves resolutely go on without 8inch- ing. without turning to the right or to the left, go on whatever or whoever is in the way, because with these two gigantic Powers working together for right nothing can resist them. If they work for wrong, injustice, or oppression the Power that makes for righteousness would smash them in the end, but, working as they are for civilisation, for peace, for good. will, for human progress, their-power is irresistible, and I trust they will go on (Loud cheers.) to the end.

My visit to Canada and the United States of America has filled me with greater hope than ever of the future. I will tell you why. Here in Canada you have population of 8,000,000, which some of you will live to see to be about 40,000,000 or 50,000,000 at Icast. That will only be a beginning. In the United States you base

population of 160,000,000. There is no knowing what that will grow to. If you had the same population in the United States as you hare per square mile in England you would have a population of 1,500,000,000 If you had the same population in Canada as you have in Scotland,' and they are not unalike in many respects, though. I will not dwell upon that (laughter)-you would have 000,000,000. Chaloo So the possibilities are infinite. Here Dairen you have got these two peoples. What Hailar struck me was that fundamentally their training is the sume, their outlook is the same.
