LONDON, June 14
Lord Selborne pre&sed Sir Joseph Ward to address the Royal Geographical: Institute on Higher and Truer Im-.
perialism
Sir Joseph Ward made a,n tirgent plea for an Imperial Council. He said that some day it would be impossi&le for Britain alone to. maintain her maje&tic supremacy of the s?as. The Dotranions equally would be unable wholly to defend themselves from foreign ag-
gression
Lord Seltorne said that wo must be: prepared to see the centre of gravity in tbo Empire pass from' the United Kingdom to somo other part of the Empire. While Englishmen felb less free to discuss the problem of federation, when the Dominions' statesman presented a prepared scheme many Britishers would be prepared to give their political lives to support it.
