SUGGESTS A POLICY FOR BALToUR
But Thinks lie Can No Longer Remain in
the Cabinet,

IF, as | believe. you share these
views. il seems to me that you will be
absolutely justified in adopting them as
the policy of your government, al
though it will necessarily involve some
changes i'm its constitution As secre-
tary for the colonies during the last
eight years | have been in a special
sense the representative of the policy
of a closer union. which | firmly be-
lieve to be equally necessary in the In
terests Of the colonies and ourselves.
| believe it is possible today, and may
be impossible tomorrow, to make ar
rangemcnts for such union
Il have had uneNampled opportuni-
ties of watching events and appreciat-
ing the feelings of our kinsmen beyond
the seas. | stand therefore, in a diff
ferent position 10 any of my colleagues,
and | think that | should justly be
blamed ii | remained in office and thus
formally accepted the exclusion from
my political programme of 80 impor-
ttnt a part thereof.
Il think that with absolute loyalty
to your government, and with no fear
of embarrassing il in any way, | can
best promote the cause | have at heart
from the outside, and | cannot but
hope that in perfectly independent
position my arguments may perceived
WITH less prejudice than would attach
to those of party leader
Accordingly, ! would suggest that
you limit the present policy of the
government TO an assertion of our free
dom in the case of all commercial rela-
tons with foreign countries. and that
you should agree TO NY rendering my
resignation of my present office to his
majesty and devoting myself to the
work OF explaining and popularizing
these principles of imperial union
which experience has convinced me
are essential TO our future welfare and
prosperity. Yours very sincerely.

tions which were sent 10 President

dent 10 modify his orders of last July
10 Secretary COrtelyou. in which the
