We are talking a speech delivered by British Prime Minister Joseph Chamberlain called "I believe in the British Empire." The speech is also known as the Birmingham Speech, which was delivered in May 1903, after the Primer Minister returned from a trip to the colony of South Africa.

Chamberlain makes the following reference in his speech: "I cannot look forward without dread to handing over the security and existence of this great Empire to the hands of those who have made common cause with its enemies, who have charged their own countrymen with methods of barbarism, and who apparently have been untouched by that pervading sentiment which I found everywhere where the British flag floats, and which has done so much in recent years to draw us together. I should not require to go to South Africa in order to be convinced that this feeling has obtained a deep hold on the minds and hearts of our children beyond the seas."
