Mr. Balfour has beeira member of the

I-louse of Commons since 1874 when he was returned for Hereford. His most notable work was done as Secretaryfor Ireland and as Prime Minister when he inaugurated a programnic of so-cial reforms which laid the foundation for much of the advanced legislation that has since followed. He is a great Imperialist and he it was who first invited the overseas premiers to seats in the Council of Imperial Defence, and paved the way for their admission into the Im- perial Cabinet itself. In 1912, when an- nouncing ‘what led to his decision to take the Domiiiioiis into confidence in these matters, Mr. Bzilfotir said: _

"Tliorc will come, us in my opinion tlii=ri°~

ought to como :intl must come, some iiicreusing

_ slinro in the i'c-spoiisibility ol' guiding the tlostinies

ol' the Einplre. Possilily it will bo found that ln the vm-_v elastic roiistltiitlon of the Defence Com- inlttoc thorn will :ir all events he the niziclilnory t'or the iiit_crl.in. l d/iii't s-iy thc portriniient, con- sidorailoii ol' policy. l ut :ill events iinvo always hoped sri. ln some ol the niriny speeches l liiive inode sim-o that ("omiiiltl.ee was ostalilislietl, l liiiivo liiilicritctl my hope that it would supply the mnt>liliu»ry which would help ns in this piirllciiltir ipiestion of t|ill`it~nlty, and l rejnlci-. that the llriinc i\llnist4~_t' has siiiiiiiioiieil-1-ertiiiiilv not for thi,- iirst tiint~-l|i the Inst l'f\w ivoelts the t'i~pi~1»senl:i- tives ol the Viiiititliiiii (lovornineiit now in Lo-n~ don :iutl luis tnltvn thciii into tho full confltlniico

ol' tho Govt-rninent on all these great prohlnins ln-uhlcli the intoresto of f‘nnnt'l:i are as closely

bound up ns the iiitercsts of this r-ountr_i.‘." The manner in which his prophecy has

been fulfilled shows Mr. Balfour to have that vision essential to statesmanship, and which distinguishes the statesman from the mere politician and office-seeker.

On a recent occasion, Mr. Balfour said

it .was not of his own wish that he first en! tered politics. It was proposed by his uncle, the late Lord Salisbury. Mr. Balfour said he hesitated “being by no means clear that politics was the walk in life for which I was best suited. or which could give most permanent satisfaction to myself_ and others.” If he had not accepted the gui- dance of his great kinsman, as a contem- porary-rightly expresses it, the Empire might have lost a great; statesman and phi- losophy have won a great thinker. But it .is;_iinpi~obable that Mr. Balfour would have

_given himself;u)_ wholly to speculation or

have divideiidiid energies between his stu- dy and the _-6'use of Commons more than he has done. His philosophy is one to prac- ti`se.» His culture is not for his own intel- .l0e_l'-lull. and moral satisfaction, li_ut___l'or ii,ia;_
