Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH.

Mr. Chamberlain. in the speech at Birmirg-
ham referred to by The Pail Mall Gazette, y
began by warmly advocating drawing all parts
Of the British Empire into close unity. and
maintaining the bonds Of permanent unity
with our knsmen across the Atlantic"
Later Mr. Chamberlain proceeded to draw a
gloomy picture Of the situation OF affairs In
China where" he said, I'VE have 10 count
with Russia as In Afghanistan except that we
do not possess an army a defensive frontier
in China and cannot. therefore. inJure Russia
without an ally. The fate of the whole Chinese
Empire is involved. and our interests are so
enormous that no more Vital question was eve-
presented for decision to the British Nation and
a British Government. Unless the fate Of China
is to be decided without England's voice. We
those Powers whose interests are similar to
ours"
In some quarters II was for time believed
that this last reference Of Mr.. Chamberlain TO
On alliance referred to the United States but II
developed later that the Secretary Of State for
the Colonies referred to Germany, and 1t now
seems that the suggestion Of an alliance be-
tween Great Britain and Germany Of some sort
probably referring to Chinese matters only, but
possibly embracing other eventualties. has been
made an accomplished fact.
