DESTINY OF THE EMPIRE
LLOYD GEORGE'S FAITH.
A TRUST FOR HUMANITY.
Australian and N.Z- Cable Association. (Reed. 4.49 p.m.) LONDON, May 10. Mr. Lloyd George, speaking at the Colonial Missionary Society's Convention at the City Temple, referred to the millions of men from the British Empire who served in the war. " How I wish," he remarked, " that there was one word of appreciation of that fact in France and Belgium." One day the people would discover the possibilities and resources of the Empire, continued -Mr. Lloyd George. 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 further into the empty spaces of the earth. Cicero said that States were made of hearths and altars. Emigrants would establish hearths but would they raise 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 saved liberty.
