IMPERIAL FEDERATION.
ANGLO-COLONIAL DEFENCE. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT. [PRESS ASSOCIATION.] London, October 9. Mr. W. H. Smith, speaking at Gloucester, said that carrying out the colonial defence scheme meant practically Imperial federation, as the colonies had become partners with England in defending their mutual interests. As an evidence that the attachment between the mother country and the colonies was enhanced by the distance which separated them he quoted the fact that New South Wales had sent a contingent to the Soudan. He said the colonies were the life-blood of England, and must eventually become stronger and supersede the old country.
