THE PREMIERS IN LONDON.

Press Aasociation —• By Electric Telegraph Copyright. London, June 13

The Duke of Fevonsbire delivered an address at the United Empire League's luncheon to the Colonial Premiers. He defined the aims of tiie League as being colonial expansion and consolidation, -which he hold to be absolutely essential to Great Britain's prosperity. Sir B< orge Turner, in seconding a vote of thanks to the league, was accorded an ovation. Chief Justice Way accompanied the Premiers to Liverpool yesterday. Received Wakapaaka June 15, 9.40 a.m., Guabdian Office, 11 a.m. London, June 14

The colonial Premiers were enter tained at a banquet by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce on Saturday ©veiling. The Duke of Devonshire, in proposing the principal toast of the evening, said the colonies had never illed a larger place in the thoughts of the people of England than at the present moment, and the feeling was growing that they wore citizens of the Great Empire. In order to ensure increasing commerce it was necessary to find markets for ourselves. Hfi looked forward to our Australian, African, and West Indian dominions perhaps rivalling America in power and prosperity but remaining parts of an undivided empire. The Democratic character of the political institutions of Britain and the colonies wouM not prevent the maintaining of such an extended empire. Sir G. Turner responded on behalf of Victoria, and said he hoped the colonies would follow the example of the Canadian Dominion in federation. Jle trusted before the year was ended he would be in a bOßitifjn to welcome a united Austral asia, The Tim? says the speeches of the colonial Premiers ring w*tn youth ful vigor, The new Canadian tariff and the discussion at the late Austra lian Federal Convention indicate that the empire is on the eve of remarkable developments.
