MIR. CHAMBERLAIN,s SPEECH
He Also Says ENGLAND Will no Everything G.
Maintain Hcr Trade in the Orient.


LONDON. Jan. 1s.-Mr. Joseph Chamberlain,
Secretary of State for the Colonies, made a
speech tonight before the Liverpool Chamber
of Commerce, in which he made declarations
regarding the Governments attitude in con.
nection with foreign and colonial trade.
He said that In view Of the meRalomanin
with which scme European powers had been
seized, Great Britain WAS liable to be excluded
by tariffs from any non-British country. He
dwelt upon the extensive trade done with
China, and declared that Great Britain would
do everything to maintain her commercial po-
sition in that part of the world. His language
in connection with this subject was similar to
that used by Mr.. Balfour and Sir Michael
Hicks Beach. the latter Of whom. speaking last
night at Swansea. said that the Government
was determined, even at the cost Of war, that
against Briti5 h merchants.
MIR. Chamberlain declared that Great Brit
ain must seek in her colonies support which
she would never receive from foreign powers.
1t was the policy Of the Government to bind the
colonies closer to the mother country, thus paw
ing the way to more intimate union than was
now practicable. 1t was not contemplated to
attempt to bring pressure to bear on the colo
niles to attain this end, but the Government
was willing to meet them more than half way
on any proposals they might make.
The position in tho British West Indies, Mr..
Chamberlain added. was causing graTe anxiety
try to lind remedy that would save them from
destruction. He discouraged the idea of coun-
tervailine duties but expressed the hope that
West India Royal Commission in its recent re-.
port would be adopted. These, howev, ,r. did
not fully meet the case, and the Government
