PAGE FOURTEEN BALDWIN APPEALS ~T0 YOUNG PEOPLE "Imps' Whisper" Greets Prime Minister at Great Meeting London, (By Mail)--The Prime Minister addressed a huge audience at the Junior Imperial League Con- ference at the Albert Hall, In ad- dition, his speech was conveyed by an overhead wirc to Hyde Park, over a mile away, where many more heard it by means of loud speakers. Owinz to the ccld wind and a threat of srow shortly before the meeting hegau, the attendance at the open-air gathering was uot so large as had been anticipated. The * vast audience in the hall passed sway the time before Mr. Bald- win's arrival by community sing- ing. They gave the Prime Minister a tremendous reception. The whale audience stood up and waved their programs, which were of red, white and blue, and gave the "Tmps' Whisper," which is a prolonged cheer. Lord Plymouth, who resided, al- 'lauded to the growth of the Lea- gue, which he said now had a thousand hranches and was still rapidly increasing. Referring to the forthcoming Franchise Bill he sald it was merely an act of jus- tice. Believing as they did in the justice of their cause and the com: monsense and patriotism of their brothers and sisters, he could as- sure the Prime Minister that he need have no fear of the conse- quences of the Bill Mr. Baldwin's Speech The Prime Minister, who was re- ceived with the singing of "For he's a jolly good fellow," said:-- "It was not so long ago in the city of Cardiff that I observed that no party which failed to attract the youth of the country eould live.

Sir Henry Impert Terry, We recognize the sacrifice he must have made of his own feelings in doing what 1 shall have to do one day, before too long, and that is to hand over the reins to youth. It was for that reason that I chose a boy to lead you, Edward Stanley, and 1 do mot think 1 could have made a better choice. "More and more, day by day. the leaders of our orgamization look to you and rely upon you for work, sympathy -and encourage- ment. As was said of Napoleon's armies, in our Army today the Field-Marshal's baton is in every knapsack, Already 'Imps' are com- ing forward into the organization, and they will be in increasing de- mand as speakers, workers, agents, indeed for any post to which they may prove themselves fitted. I have no doubt that in time the highests posts will be filled by those who started their politica! careers as 'Imps.' "I think it well today while most of us have the world before us that we should take counsel to- gether as to what we mean by poli- tics. Let me beg of you all in these days of your youth to get one thing fixed firmly in your mind. You do not go into poli- tics for what you can get, you ge there for what you can give and do. "You are starting your political life in a wonderful age, * The whole world since the War is trying, how. ever, feebly and with whatever stumblings, to start a new life, At the next election we have our tirst election under complete manhood suffrage, and the lesser termy in- cludes the greater, (Laughter and cheers.)

These lights have lighted mankind through the whole procession of the ages. Now the lights are getting brighter. We know more, and I think human sympathies have beed amazingly quickened through these years of suffering; and, while there is much selfishness abroad and there is much of the spirit of seeking first material comfort, yet 1 believe there never was a time when there were more people in this country of ours, and especially among the young, who are deter- mined to make whatever sacrifice is necessary for the advancement of the well-being, physical and spirit- tual, of their own country.
