In this crusade the colonial secretary
is absolutely In harmony with Premier
Balfour and harbors no designs on the

ment likely to occur in the near future is
a series of political speeches from the
leaders on both sides.
All signs point TO lengthy campaign
OF the lines of protection versus free
trade, which Is likely to destroy party
lines almost as much as did the homo
rule question. In all the arguments tho
example and probable attitude of the
United States will figure largely.
