London, July 2O.-At the opening of 4
new conservative club at Fulham. the
premier, Balfour. made his first extra par.
liamentary speech as premier. He said he
believed that with the cessation of war in
South Africa new era of friendly rel.-
tions between Great Britain and the GER.
trail powers had set in and would continue.
The views expressed on the continent
during the war regarding the British peo-
pie and British troops had caused surprise
and Indignation but the controversies
were ended. He hoped they would never
be renewed, and he be ieved that those who
accused the country in wantonly attack
ing free people would see in the future
what British ideas of liberty, colonial self
government and purity of administration,
would do to amalgamate the races and to
make Of South Africa what Great Britain
has made OF so many other portions of tue
world.
Referring to Lord Salisbury, the pre-
mier said he had left the country at peace
with the whole world, and he (Mr. Raj
four) believed they could look forward 70
ever increasing good relations with cont.
mental nations and to prolonged periol
of international good will. He trusted
that the great family of civilized nations
would be what it ought to be. brother.
