A PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED.
(Received January 13th, 9.52 p.m.) LONDON, January 13. Mr Balfcur, addressing the Conservative Club at Manchester, said the Unionists must meet new circumstances by new expedients, and new diseases by new remedies. They must not be content, parrot like, with unintelligent and unintelligible repetitions of ancient, musty, and inaccurate formulas. Ho believed the Committee of Imperial Defence would play a useful part in promoting the closer union of the Empire. Every part should share its labours, including India. Tho other day the Canadian Minister of War attended and assisted in its deliberations. Possibly that principle would soon be universally applied. If the Australian Commonwealth wished to discuss any question relating to Imperial Defence, the Committee would welcome any Minister or accredited representative.
