' Speech by Rosebsry ~ Reply to Mr Chamberlain Press Association.—Copyright. 1 London, Nov. 23 Lord Rosibuby, in a speech at Penzance, predicted that the colonies,would not be drawn oloser by propositions from tho motherland, and would reBent inteiforence; "yet," he continued, "Mr Chamberlain thinks that by a sudden and violent dej.arturo from the policy of casting tho empiro into a cauldron heated by himself tho empire would emergo with the freshness of youth I'challongo Mr Chumborlain to sond tariff comniisaionerii to the colonies to'soe if it is possible to produco a tangible sohsmt to reconcile the nriouri interests involved, Statists showing that ton per wnt. of the population of tho United States ure palially unemployed for part? of tho year prove that protection is less than no romedy for non-employment, Charity is a mere palliative, and the incoming Libenl Govevninont might do muo than provide General Booth with funds to work out tho problem." , Lord Bofebery, in prefacing hii challenge, said f" If Mr, Chamberlain can unite tho|empire to a fiscal union without taxing raw material, and only slightly taxing food, tho pioposition might be worth oonsidorinp," { The Times' opinions cabled to-day were published on Wednesday. Bovorting to the subject to-day tho Timet admits that Mr, Chamberlain's speech has effeotod a ohango oaleulatod to induce tho Government to reconsider their position, "The appeal at Nowcastlo," it aids, "ha; 'no: elicited un adequato response from tho party. While Mr, Chamberlain appeals tn the Unionists to fight for his pohoy, as (hi only view ho thinks worth fighting for, bo is ontirolt' right in righting with all his might, Doubtless Mr. Balfour will concur in this opinion, It is difficult to see the pnblio odyantago of remaining till tbc spring, Mr, Balfour's other alternative ig, to reoognise his inability to longer count upon tho hearty support of tho united party, and resign early." 1 The My Tekgrtfh lays that Mr. Balfour's early nidation h desirable frp/rj every standpoint, Tenders nro invited by tho Borou»h.
