EARL BALFOUR PASSES AWAY.

DEATH OF FORMER · PREMIER.

Arthur James Balfour, the Con servative statesman, was born in Scotland in July, 1848. A rela tive of the famous Premier, Lord Salisbury, he was educated at Eton and Cambridge, and entered the House of Commons in 1874. In the Parliament of, 1880 he was one of the "Fourth Party," which also included Randolph Churchill, Sir J. Gorst and Sir H. Drummond Wolff. Dissatisfied with the polley of the Opposition, they harried the Government and urg- ed their own leaders to greater ac- tivity, their creed being "Tory democracy, the popularisation of Conservative doctrines among the masses." In 1895 Salisbury made Balfour President of the Local Government Board and in 1887 Chief Secretary for Ireland at a time when the country was in a state of the greatest political and social unrest and its government demanded a measure of courage, tact, energy, goodwill and firm- ness which few had suspected the apparently phlegmatic Balfour of possessing, but which recognised by both sides,

Succeeds to Premiership. He became Conservative leader of the House as Firat Lord of the Treasury in 1891 and in 1892, after Salisbury's retirement, he succeeded to the Premiership, al- though a section of the party would have preferred Joseph Chamberlain. His relations with the latter, who in 1903 introduced hia Tariff Reform policy and was determined to carry the party with him with or without Balfour, led

to the destruction of discipline and placed the Premier, who per sonally stood between the Free Traders and the Protectionists, in a series of very trying situations in which he manoeuvred in the

most masterly way without win ning due recognition for his ability. Finally at the end of 1905 the Cabinet had to resign. Despite the growing hostility of the electorate and the waning in terest of his party, he had re- mained as long in office as he con- sidered essential in the interest, of England's foreign policy, the issues including the Entente with

During the war he re-entered politics, succeeding Churchill 45 First Lord of the Admiralty May, 1915, and restoring the har mony disturbed by the Churchill- Fisher quarrel. He incurred much criticism by sending out the news of the Battle of Jutland in such a way as to suggest that it was a defeat rather than a vie tory. In 1936 he was awarded the Urder of Merit. When Lloyd George formed his coalition in De-i cember, 1916, Balfour was asked to take the Foreign Office. In April, 1917, he headed a mission to the U.S. and Canada.

The debt question was raised by the U.S. in 1922 and this led to the issue of the "Balfour Note." This stated that, while Britain would have been ready to forgo all claims for reparations and the repayment, of inter allied debts. if this had formed part of n universal settlement. she must now ask for some measure of pay: ment; she would, however, be con- tent with a total sum from her allies and Germany sufficient, to cover her own payments to the U.S., though this was only a quar ter of the amount due to her.
