IMPERIAL DEFENCE.
SPEECH BY MR BALFOUR.
United Press Association—By Electric Teiegraph—Copyriffat. LONDON, November 28. Mr Balfour, speaking at the United Club dinner in London, said tbe progress of army reform had gone steadily on. Sir H. CampbeU-Bonnerman, Mr Fowler, and Lord Rosebery should, for very shame, have maintained silence. When he thought of what these professors of efficiency, did and what they abstained from doing when in power hia 'gorge rose. Home defence did not require a large army. Their aim must be to bring together into harmony as a whole the separate Governments within the Empire, and have a common scheme of defence, not dependent on the War Office alone, but drawing its strength from India and all the sett-governing colonial.
