Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advantages of Imperial Federation: A Lecture HE caricatures Of Imperial Federation are so many that I must begin by telling you in plain language what it really is. These caricatures prove that our opponents are unwilling to get face to face with facts, and prefer to put up men Of straw, knock them down and then claim that they have killed the monster. In my definition or explanation I shall stick to facts. The British Empire exists. That will be admitted. Every one will also admit that it is composed of different parts, possessed Of unequa'l shares of privilege and responsibility, but all alike rejoicing in the common life that is the result of his toric continuity, in a common head, a common flag, common citizenship, a common Court of Appeal, and in the fact that each part claims the. Right to be defended against all enemies by the force of the whole Empire. In other words, there is union now in the form Of a kind of Federation. It is admittedly imperfect, but I would like to know of a perfect Federation. Even if you could get it, . You Would find that it Would not stay perfect. Every one then who is in favour Of preserving the present union is a Federationist. He must be in favour, too, Of taking all necessary means to preserve the union, for he who wills the end Wills also the means.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Within the Empire: An Essay on Imperial Federation Five years have elapsed since I read a paper before the Montreal Branch of the Imperial Federation League in Canada entitled, A United Empire. In writing this, and a good many other articles, which have since appeared in the columns of Imperial Federation, and other journals, it seemed to me as if the advantages to be derived from a consolidation of the Empire increased, and the difficulties in the way of such a consummation decreased with every renewed consideration of the subject. I have since become a firm believer in the practicability of a closer British Union, and have endeavoured in this essay to recast the articles above re ferred to, incorporate them with new matter and place them before my fel low countrymen in the hope of induc ing in them a'like faith. It is not my object to provide an original scheme for the reconstruction of the British Em pire, for many of the suggestions here embodied have long been before the public. But I have tried to imitate theexample of Watt with the steam engine, and to so combine these as to produce a plan which may ultimately result in the construction of a political machine, capable of working well and harmoniously for the common weal.

P., Of Battersea, England, Before Montreal Branch of the League, on Monday, October 24th, 1887, and Discussion Thereon Since my arrival in Montreal, I have visited the City Hall, being anxious to make myself acquainted with the difference between your municipal government and that of London. In some respects I find your system superior to that of the Capital of the British Empire. But I must not forget that we are here to-night to talk over Imperial Federation, and I am aware that several gentlemen in this hall are prepared to speak on that most important subject a Subject to my mind of the very greatest importance and which in all parts of the Em pire is stirring the hearts of our fellow citizens not only in the West, but in the East and in the South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Federation We may be told that America appoints its ambassadors on some such system. We reply that, in the first place, we do not want Colonial agents-general to be ambassadors while the American Ministers in London have not so much to do that their isolation is a matter of high importance. Secondly, that the Minister is at least guaranteed four years' tenure of office. If political societies constituted on the English model are preparing to adopt the American maxim of the spoils to the victors, they will have to go a stage further, and adopt the American Constitution, which secures to the victors the enjoyment of their position for a fixed period of time. But we Britons have found a more excellent way, which consists in withdrawing from the sphere of party politics everything that can possibly be kept independent of them. We. Have been looking forward to seeing the agents-general assume a more prominent position - one more in conformity with their real importance. It would be a bitter disappointment to us if they were to sink into being merely local agents for one or another political party. It would not be long probably before a further stage would be reached, and the Agent would find that the Home Government received him graciously or the reverse, accord ing as the politics of his Government were supposed to be of the same or Opposite complexion to their own. And then we might bid farewell to all our fair hopes of Imperial Unity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Federation League: The Record of the Past and the Promise of the Future The progress of the League has been extraordinarily rapid. The first period - that which was necessarily devoted to arousing public interest and public attention - is now over. The favour alile reception of a deputation of the League by the Prime Minister, and the subsequent promise of an inquiry under the auspices of the Imperial Government, have brought us to the beginning of a new and still more important epoch. At this point a fitting occasion has arisen for once more reminding members of the League and friends of the cause, of the spirit in which we are seeking success, the means by which we hope to attain it, and the nature of the triumph we desire to win. The League has requested the Government to appoint a Royal Commission to deal with the question of Federation. It seems probable that such a Commission will before long be appointed. What do we wish it to do P And how do we wish it to act? As an answer to these questions, we reprint from the recent publications of the League some passages which, we think, will throw light upon the points raised, and will be of service to those who, by speech, by their pen, or by any other means, are desirous of promoting the unity of the Empire.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Federation: The Problem of National Unity The glory of the British political system is often said to lie in the fact that it is a growth; that it has adapted itself, and is capable of continuous adaptation, to the necessities of national development. The fact is proved and the boast is justified by British history, but behind them, no doubt, is a'race Characteristic. A special capacity for political organization may, with out race vanity, be fairly claimed for anglo-saxon people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Federation, 1890, Vol. 5: The Journal of the Imperial Federation League Now to turn to the question of Lord John Russell's personal position. He laid down, says B. The lines upon which our Colonial policy proceeded. Let us at once admit that he was largely responsible for the con cession of selfgovernment to Canada and Australia. B. M. Apparently still thinks, as unquestionably many, if not most, of his party thought twenty or thirty years back, that self-government must inevitably lead to separation. Of course we absolutely deny this initial assumption, and with its denial - for B. M. Is certainly not in a position as yet to prove its correctness experimentally - the whole of the superstructure which he endeavours to erect upon it falls to the ground. But let us see what evidence B. M. Can produce that Lord Russell ever held the belief with which he implicitly credits him. The evidence is as follows. Our author shall give it in his own words.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Federation, Vol. 2: The Journal of the Imperial Federation League; January to December, 1887 Sir 'james anderson has returned to the subject of ocean' cables in a letter-which we publish in another column. Since our last issue' the matter has practi'cally passed the stage of argument, and it is therefore Unnecessary for us to follow it up further. We are glad to hear that a powerful company has been' formed, with a capital of to establish a telegraphic line between the Australasian Colonies and Vancouver. This will spare us the necessity of further allusion to the 'weak places in our communications, which will soon be doubled in strength and efficiency by the possession of an alternative route. Sir James Anderson's letter is interesting, as giving the opinion of an experienced man upon the probable results to our commerce of an outbreak of hostilities with another Power. His suggestion that neutral lines of telegraph would be available opens the field for some nice questions as to the laws of international. Neutrality in time of war. But where' are these neutral lines P If any agreement could be arrived at to neutralise all cables, the case would be different; but there does not seem much prospect of this, and at present there is but one route to Australia. We want to see two, and we shall not be kept waiting long for the event. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
