OUR BRITISH ALLIES
Joseph Chamberlain's Significant
Speech at Birmingham.
A COMBINATION OF THE POWERS

May Soon Confront Great Britain,
and 1t Becomes Her Duty to Main-
tain the Bonds OF Permanent Unity
With Her Kinsmen Across the Ocean
London, May 1.-THE Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary Of state
for the colonies, made an important
speech on public affairs at Birmingham
last evening. Mr.. Chamberlain, after
deprecating the constant assertion in
certain quarters that Lord Salisbury
was discredited, and the government
weak and vacillating, said:
If foreign countries believe and act
upon these statements they will find
themselves much mistaken, and that
courteous diplomacy and graceful con-
cessions are not incompatible with a
firm maintenance Of the country's
honor and interests"
Then, declaring that he intended to
make plain statement of facts, I'M
fettered by the mysteries and reticen-
ces of the diplomacy of half century.
which, without revealing secret nego-
tiations, should be understood by the
accept the judgment of the people as
willingly as that Of the wisest diplo-
matist in the world. Referring to the
policy Of strict isolation that England
has pursued since the Crimean war, he
remarked that this had been perfectly
justifiable.
But" he added, "the time has ar
rived when Great Britain may be con-
fronted by combination of powers,
and our first duty, therefore, Is to draw
all parts of the empire into close unity
and our next to maintain the bonds of
permanent unity with our kinsmen
across the Atlantic.
There is a powerful and generous
nation" said Mr.. Chamberlain, speak
ing our language, bred Of our race and
having interests identical with ours.
would go so far as to say that, ter
rible as war NAV be, even war itself
would be cheaply purchased II in
great and noble cause the Stars and
Stripes and the Union Jack should
wave together over an Anglo Saxon al
lance.
1T Is one of the most satisfactory
results Of Lord Salisbury's policy that
at the present time these two great
nations understood each other better
than they ever have done since, over
century ago, they were separated
by the blunder of British govern
ment."
