There were, and still are, bitter opponents of Im- penal policies and Imperial ideals. Ind Beaconsfield in his time had to remind the English people that Her Majeeys Govern- ment, of whatever party formed. were the trustees of the British flnpire, that the Imperial heritage was one which could not lightly be thrown away. The flag of Ehnpire -even then-floated in many wat- ers. There were British provinces in every zone, inhabited by persons of different races, different relig- l ions, different laws. manners, and ‘ twcustoms. "It is not," the great Vic- torian statesman pointed out, "a I heritage that can only be enjoyed;

. it must be maintained, and it can only be maintained by the same qualities that created lfr-by cour- age, by discipline, by patience, by determination, and by a reverence for public law and respect for na- tional rights."

‘Under Queen Victoria-whose birthday anniversary has appro- priately been chosen for Empire Day-the Imperial sentiment thus yoiced by Disraeli found scope l: splendid achievement. The lknpire became, in very truth, a realm on which the sun never g sets; its flag became synonymous, - i ‘ as never flag in history had become, with freedom and justice. These are the virtues which, while our Enr- pire remains great and glorious, will be prized by British citizens above all else.

The outstanding result of the liver treatment was that it lessened the tendency to relapse.
