Speaking at Haddington, Mr Balfour complained ;of the Government's refusal to take steps to draw closer the elements and iteitiitories .constituting the Empire and against its adoption of a policy which means plunging the country into an endless controversy about Home Rule, which, if carried, would be utterly subversive of Britain's position among the nations.
