FUTURE OF BRITAIN.
PROPOSALS OF BRITISH MINISTERS. LONDON, September 15. Additional t-o Mr Lloyd George's message, nine other members of Cabinet outline the future of their departments, including Mr Winston Churchill, who says :—We contemplate haring an army not substantially larger than before the war, but better paid and equipped, and on a voluntary basis. 1 x>rd Milner says the United Kingdom and the Dominions are partner nations, not yet of equal power, but all of equal status. The time will come when the dominions will surpass the United Kingdom in wealth and population. The paramount duty of British statesmanship is to sec that the free unfon so gloriously maintained during the war is strengthened in years to come. Sir Eric Geddes visualises the casual dock labourer in the future, living in a garden city, putting in spare time in Ids garden and called to work by telephone from the docks, thus abolishing the present hanging around the street corners.
