PARLIAMENT
A DREAM, Says PARKER
Sir Gilbert Declares Difficulties
Too Great and Benefits
Too Small

LONDON, April 30.-Sir Gilbert Par
ker delivered, at a meeting of the
Royal Colonial institute, held at the
Whitehall rooms, a lecture on 1.-The
New Empire" which was interesting in
two ways. First, for its optimistic
dealing with future empire problems;
and, second, for its abandonment of
the ideal held by many people of a
parliament of the empire.
THE danger point has been passed,
Sir Gilbert declared. 1--WE have outlived
the stage when some colony might
break loose from the silken bonds that
hold her and go out on the quest of a
future, independent of her sister colo
MES or of England"
With regard TO the question of a
parliament of empire, Sir GilbeES sug-
gested that the confederation OF the
various dominions lessened the need
for such a legislature.
ITO be paradoXical," he said, 'the
empire grows smaller every day. With
the greater facilities of our modern
times and our closer touch due to
science and swift transport, parlia-
mentary federation seems further off
than il was IN the days when the diff
ferent portions of the empire were so
distant from each other and from the
center.
OUT OF QUESTION
Thine and a closer analysis of the
problem, together with experience, the
most valuable of all solvents, have
shown that imperial union on the lines
of an imperial parliament has difficult
ties too great and, in reality, advan-
tages too few to permit of the full
flment of the great constitutional
dream.
Personally, 1 have never shared in
such a vision. 1 have never thought
it practicable; but that a formula for
some sort of union will yet be found,
no one who reads the pages of our
progress and the development of our
relations with our colonies can doubt.
whether it will be found in some
constitutional machinery; in the looser,
more elastic functions of an imperial
conference with its secretariat; in
closer union through one department
of cooperation only, such as naval de-
fense; or in commercial reciprocity, re-
mains to be seen.
Already colonial representatives ap-
pear in the deliberations of the de-
fense committee. Already striking con-
sequences have flowed from that as
sociation and cooperation"

THE AMERICAN
WOMAN'S LEAGUE

NJ EMBERS of Los Angeles chapter
N of the American Womans
A'A league are divided between an
ardent desire to attend the great
jubilee convention soon to be held in
University City, and the desirability
of remaining in Los Angeles to join
the army of leaguers who are striving
to win the beautiful $500 bungalow,
offered as a capital prize in the Los
Angeles Herald's extraordinary voting
contest. If won by the Los Angeles
chapter, the bungalow immeditely will
porary chapter house; and when the
$4,000 chapter house is built by Mr.
Lewis il will become the nucleus OF a
permanent league home.
From the inception of the league
movement, Mr.. Lewis has strained
every nerve to establish home where
women who have finished their active
work may enjoy a home that has in it
neither the elements of charity nor the
restrictions of industrial life.
The American Woman's league is
creating the greatest publishing plant
in the world. It is attracting inter-
national attention, as the manager of
twenty we'll known English journals
is now en- route to University City to
plan for an extension of the league
movement in Canada and England. A
commission Of Japanese officials, bank
ers and business men recently investi-
gated the league movement, and on
their return sent for additional litera-
ture, which will, no doubt go toward
the organizing of chapter in Japan.
Mr.. Lewis expected to establish the
first league home in University City,
but California women who are older
grown would rather live in a tent un-
der a pepper tree in the glorious sun
shine of California. than face the Sc
we're climatic conditions Of any city in
the east.

EAGER TO GET BUNGALOW

And so 1t has come to pass the MEM
bers of the Los Angeles chapter are
turning their longing eyes to the beau
tiful bungalow in College tract, rather
than the most splendid home that could
be built east of the Rockies. The plan
to use the bungalow as a home was
suggested by Mrs. L. A. Cutter, VINO
has the garnered wisdom of seventy
five years, and is at least the youngest
and pluckiest of the Los Angeles chap
ter.
The certainty of securing a home
when the work-day Is ended is pow
erful factor in the organized effort TO
win the bungalow; this was demon
strated last week, when Miss Jennie
Van Allen, local representative of the
largest chapter in the United States,
and the leagues candidate in the CON
test, leaped from 17,072 to 6S,S09 votes

efforts of members among them pelng
