RESOURCES OF EMPIRE
GREATER THAN IS BELIEVED
LLOYD GEORGE ON THE FUTURE,
(UNITED PRESS -ASSOCIATION.—COMRMHT.)
(AUSTRALIAN . NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.)
LONDON, 9th May. Mr. Lloyd George, speaking at the Colonial Missionary Society's Convention in the City Temple, Teferred to the millions of men from the British Env r're who served during the war. "How wish there was one word of appreciation of that fact in France and Belgium." One. day, the ex-Prime Mini* ter said, people would discover the poS' sibilities and the resources of the Empir«. Just now they could not believe it, but one day they would believe, and great movements of population would begin. The need of man for more room would drive him farther into the empty spaces of the earth. Cicero had said that States were made of hearths and altare. The emigrants would establish hearths, but would they set up altars? The new theory that the Empire was a trust to be strengthened and utilised for the benefit of humanity had grown largely in recent years. It was now realised that the British Empire had saved the liberty of the world.
