SPEECH AT GLASGOW. VIEWS ON IMPERIALISM. Press Association—By Telepaph-Copyricrht. LONDON, July 28. Mr Kidston (the Queensland Premier) was the guest of the Corporation of Glasgow at luncheon, In tho couree of lu's remarks he appealed for emigrants of the old stock—men who were self-reliant and able to hold their own in a new country, just as their forefathers Lid defer j,sd the Old Land, Ho was pleased to know that the Motherland was looking to her children for help. She did not want Australia to go for her engines or machinery to Germany, but where did the Motherland get her butter? They talked about an Imperial Parliament, but there was no Imperial Parliament. How could a great Empire bo placed on a healthy permanent footing with a local Parliament at Westminster and one not representing the portions outside? British statesmen and the British people should take the iirst great step in the direction of giving a Federal Constitution to the Empire.
