Speaking at the Australian Natives' Association banquet, Sir Edmund Barton believed the feeling was growing, and must grow, that the citizens of this part of the Empire were beginning to realise that they were in a sense partners, not only of the part of the Empire wherein they happened to be, but in the whole of the rest as well. In the modern acceptation of the word "Empire" there was none of the significance of absolatism and despotism once associated with it. It was nothing but a cohesion of self-govern-ing bodies determined to hold together the treasures of their history as well as their territory. He reiterated his advocacy of the proposed naval agreement and preference for a distinct Australian squadron.
The Premiers of New South Wales and Victoria and other leaders made
Empire speeches.
