British Empire League hears calls for imperial unity progress
At London Guildhall the Duke of Devonshire spoke on imperial unity as a practical movement in some colonies though Ottawa proposals await. Lord Salisbury and Mr Chamberlain favored it while urging renewed naval talks with Australasia and a broader colonial defence debate. Canada lauded Britain’s restraint toward the U.S. and optimism grew for U.S. appreciation. The Lord Mayor urged a unity scheme to mark Victoria’s reign and the league elected Harlington president with Balfour and Dufferin as vice presidents.
