MR CHAMBERLAIN'S BIRTHDAY.
SPEECH BY MR BALFOUR. (Received 12, 8.0 a.m.) London, July 11. Mr Balfour presided at a banquet to celebrate Mr Chamberlain’s birthday. A message was sent assuring Mr Chamberlain of the wholehearted determination of supporters to carry through the policy of Imperial preference. Mr Balfour said: “In the most favoured nation treaties wore going to cause incomparable, trouble in the British Foreign Office, and their abrogation will make the British freetrade policy totally impossible. Statesmen in our great dominions have begun to realise how extraordinarily they are hampered.”
