LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE.

BRITISH MINISTERS' IDEALS

VISION OF THE EMPIRE. FREE UNION OF EQUAL STATES By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received 8 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON. Sept. 16. Supplementing Mr. Lloyd George's message to the nation, in which the Prime Minister appealed for the cooperation of all in building up a new world, nine other Cabinet Ministers outline the future of their departments. Lord Milner, Secretary of State for the Colonies, states that the United Kingdom and Dominions are partner nations, not yet of equal power, but, for good and all, of equal status. The time will come when the Dominion will surpass the United Kingdom in wealth and population. It is the paramount duty of British statesmanship to see that the free union gloriously maintained during the war shall be strengthened in years to come. BRITAIN'S FUTURE ARMY. BETTER PAY AND EQUIPMENT Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 8 p.m.) LONDON. Sept. IS. Mr. Winston Churchill, Secretary of State for War, says: We contemplate an army not substantially larger than that existing before the war, but better paid and equipped, and recruited on a voluntary basis." GARDENS FOR WORKERS. INSTEAD OF STREET CORNERS Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 7 p.m.) LONDON. Sept. 16. Sir Eric Geddes, Minister for Transport, visualises the casual dock labourer of the future living in a garden city and putting his spare time in a garden. He will be called to work by telephone from the docks, thus abolishing the present hanging about street corners.
