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~

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-
