Mr Chamberlain on Pro-Boer Slanders.

SPIRITED RETORT TO THE

GERMAN CHANCELLOR

Mr Chamberlain was the principal guest at the anneal dinner of the

I Birmingham Jewellery and Silver* smiths' Association on January 11th, and in replying for ' His Majesty's Ministers,' said :-~ln our politics there are always a certain number of estim able gentlemen who ate out of office, and who have the laudable ambition to be in. After some thirty years of a not inactive public life, and after six years of such excessive strain and labour as seldom fall to tha lot of man, I woald be—T speak of myself, and with the utmost sincerity—very glad indeed, to make way for any of those; alternative Governments that have been starring the provinces—(load laughter)—during the recess, pro vided only I could be assured that any one of them would deal with the great national issues affecting the interests, the existence, of the country on lines which would carefully safeguard those interests and the national honour. (Cheers.) THE CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY Meanwhile, gentlemen, while I am waiting for this alternative Govern ment, I desire to protest with all earnestness against those men who, in their partisan zeal, foul their own nests—(hear, hear)— encouraging the enemies of this country, furnishing materials to foreign countries for the malignant libels which they atter .. against this country. (Cheers.) I ' understand a good party 6ght. I my** self am a party man. When lam struck I try to strike again. (Loud laughter,) But I cannot appreciate the position of those who, influenced by party passioa, are not content with fighting a battle here at home on fair and reasonable lines, but must go out of their way to impute methods of

barbarism to our soldiers in the field-—' (shame)—to imply that his Majesty's . Ministers, who are Britons like them selves, can by any possibility be guilty of deliberate cruelty and humanity, and who laud the Boers, while they slander the Britons—(hear, hear) — and then profess to be astonished and surprised at the growing hostility of foreign nations. (Cheers.) They have helped to create the animosity which we all deplore. (Hear, hear.) REPLY. TO COUNT YON BULOW.

I am well aware that in some quart ers this animosity is attributed to an other cause. It is said to be due to the indiscreet oratory of the Colonial Sec retary. (Laughter.) Gentlemen, what I have said I have said. (Loud cheers) I qualify nothing. (Great cheering.) !1 withdraw nothing, (Renewed cheer ing.) I defend nothing. As I read history, no-British Minister has ever served his country faithfully and at tjjs sane doc., enjoyed popularity abroad. (Che.rs.) I make allowance, therefore tor foreign criticism. I will not follow *v example that has been set me. I do not want to give leasees to a For eigu Minister—(hear, bear, and cheers) — and 1 will not accept any at his hands. (Loud cheers.) lam respon sible only to my own Sovereign and to uuy own countrymen. cheers.) HOME-MADE SLANDERS. Bufc 1 am ready to meet tfcat form of criticism which is made at home-— (laughter and cheers)—-which is manu tracnured here—(renewed laughter)— 1 for export—(cheers and laughter)—by the friends or every country but their awn. (Cheers) And, in reference to these, 1 would ask you, gentlemen, how can it be due to a few words in a speech that was delivered only a few

weeks ago that for months and for years, from the very beginning of this war, the foreign Press has teemed with abuse of this country? (Cheers.) How can the Colonial Secretary be made responsible for what Sir Edward Grey has called the foul and filthy liea, for what Lord Rosebery has described as the vile and infamous falsehoods, which have been disseminated in for eign countries, without a syllable oi protest, without the slightest inter ference, by the responsible authorities ? (Cheers.) No, gentlemen, my oppo nents must find some other scapegoat. (Cheers,) They must look further for the causes of that feeling of hostility which I do not think we have deserved, but which has existed, more or less, for a century at least, which always comes to the surface when we are in any difficulty, but which, I am glad to say, haa never done us any serious harm, (Hear, hoar.)

SOLEMN WAENING TO THE LIBERAL LBADBKS. But I want to warn the leaders of the new Liberalism, to whatever sec tion they belong, that they are run ning a great risk of losing sympathy in the colonies. Mr Seddon, the power '■ ful and patriotic Prime Minister of [ Mew Zealand, in announcing the other day tha furtherence of another draft of a thousand men to fight at the front —(cheers) —made a statement which is full of pregnaet meaning. He said that these reinforcements would nod have been necessary had parties in this country been guided by patriotism— (he«r, hear)—and had the opponents of the Government reserved their critic isms till a more fitting opportunity. (cheers) In the last day or two I was reading a leading article in a leading and influential Canadian paper, and tha writer said that the tsctics which were being pursued by the pro-Boers in this country were injuring the Empire abroad, were alienating colonial sym pathies, and destroying the unity which is our national safeguard. I have seen many similar statements iv papers published in the Australian colonies, and I find that they resent aB much aa we do the imputations of barbarity

MR ERNEST A. CLEMENT, of the Taiii, who ia in the employ of the Hutb County Council, relates his nvsb remarkable case as fellows :— •*« T(. Pro prietor Plantekoa, Sir,—l feel it my duty I both to yon and also suffering humanity to make known tho benefit 1 have derived from the use of Plantekoa. I have been under treatment for years for my kidneys, liver and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a floating kidney, and prescribed medicines and lotions for treatment, "and in fact I' have lodine and other things ia the house aow that was supplied to paint my back In addition to the complaint mentiored I nse'd to t.nffer ab times ino&t excruciating pains from neuralgia In .ho side and back. Beside the doctor's treatment I have iriod almost count-less Patent Medicines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly my that. Plantekoa has mada a new man of me, haa cared the ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any further information will be gladly furnished if desired. I wish to say also that Plantekoa Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to me. Aboub six years ago after playing in a football match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczama. Daring those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet 'count the number of ointments and ithe like thab I tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at my work, the smarting, itching and yet burning irritation would nearly drive me crazy. I have pseb Plantekoa Ointment with result; I have not the slightest trace of the complainb left, and my skin Is as clear as that of a little child. While In a very heated condition I put on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, [ I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a einguiar fact was that the irritation commenced at that time, and covered my body, arms and nock, while my face, legs and hands were free. Suffice to say that whatever way it cama Plantekoa has cured it completely. It will be seen by my letter that 1 have had my share of suffering, and really the condition I have been in life was nob worth living. After my experience PL iNTEKOA stands without A mvih." Ask your Chemist or Storekeeper for it. Full particulars and testimonials on application to PLANTEKOA. PROPRIETARY, Wellington OHEAP MONEY
