"TOO COMPLICATED."
HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. SPEECH BY MR. BALFOUR. "UNPALATABLE DOSES." By Telegraph —Press Association.— Copyright, (Received April 8, 8.5 a.m.) LONDON, 7th April. Mr. Balfour, Leader of the Opposii tion, in a speech delivered to threfli thousand youthful members of iiba Junior Imperial League at LambetK' Baths, said 1 he did not blame the Na* tionalist for consenting to swallow thfll Budget and other unpalatable doses provided the Government handed over the country to a single chamber -which would carry Home Rule. Such a ploti was too complicated a-nd too impudenti for the ordinary elector to grasp. The question was : What was the Government doing to replace Gladstonian Horn* Rule? At the first blush, the Government's suggestion to give the United. Kingdom a constitution not differing) fundamentally from those of the greati colonial democracies might appeal to thd-. Imperial instinct's of Britons. , . * The overseas dominions had, however^ moved from separation to centralisation, but the Government "'was. favouring apolicy with regard to Home Rule -which) . was the precise converse of that whichs had made a great Australia, a greatf Cape Colony, a great Canada, and a great Germany.
