Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Federation Freeman's History of Federal Government, vol. I. P 9.colonies, New Zealand, and the Cape, are, it is true, many States as regards their internal government, and they are also one State as regards other nations. But why? Because the United Kingdom keeps to itself, and absorbs within itself, the foreign policy of the whole realm. There is, indeed, still some semblance of subordination in respect to domestic legislation; but it is only a semblance, for the veto, reserved to the Crown, would not be used except in some extremely improbable, and practically impossible, case; as, for instance, the enactment of slavery. The colonists can tax themselves or educate themselves as they please; they can levy, as we well know, what Customs' duties they think fit; they can pass what marriage laws they like; they have disestablished their State Churches, and can, if they choose, set them up again; they may pass what Franchise Bills or Seats Bills they prefer; they can protect life, and limb, and liberty, and property by what criminal laws or by what police seem good to them they have power to borrow money, and even to raise regiments of soldiers, and build and man ships of war; but they have no power to modify or participate in the foreign policy which may at any time bring them into war. Now the real question is, will they continue to submit to this condition of subordination? As regards internal affairs the colonists have self-government. As regards foreign affairs, they are subjects, not merely of the Queen, but of our Parliament - that is, of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom, or rather of such of those inhabitants as are voters.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Struggle for Imperial Unity: Recollections and Experiences Some fifteen years ago the late Dr. James Bain, Librarian of the Toronto Public Library, urged me to write my reminiscences. He knew that, as one of the founders of the Canada First party, as Chair man of the Organising Committee of the Imperial Federation League in Canada, then President of it, and after its reorganisation, under the name of the British Empire League in Canada, still President, I had much private information, in connection with the struggle for Imperial Unity, that would be of interest to the public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers and Addresses: Imperial Federation and Colonisation, From 1880 to 1894 The present volume contains a selection of Lord Brassey's Speeches, Lectures, and Articles on Imperial Federation and Colonisation between the years 1880 and 1894. Of Lord Brassey's intimate acquaintance with all that relates to the Colonial Empire of Great Britain, or of the authority of his utterances on the subjects here dealt with, there is no need to speak. But as this volume contains, besides the text of Lord Brassey's own productions, a considerable amount of matter written by the Editors, it is due to the reader to say that their qualification for the work they have undertaken rests upon knowledge of the subject matter gained during several years of official connection with the Imperial Federation League, as Secretary, and as Editor of the Journal, respectively.

Download or read book Imperial Federation written by W. E. Forster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Federation: Report of the Conference Held July 29, 1884, at the Westminster Palace Hotel A. Few words of introduction are necessary in placing this report before the public. The object of the conveners of the Conference was twofold. In the first place they desired to promote, as far as possible, the great end of Imperial Federation. -in the second place they were anxious to record an effective protest against a belief which appeared to be prevalent to some extent at Home, and to a still greater extent in the Colonies, to the effect that there was a party, or important section of any party, in the United Kingdom which was careless of the Colonial Connection, and which looked forward with-pleasure to an early disintegration of the Empire. That such a belief is happily erroneous will appear from a perusal of the names of those who attended the Conference, or who expressed their approval of its objects. It will be seen that among the number there are representatives of all parties and all shades of party. Being well aware that without the energetic co-operation of Englishmen beyond the four seas the Objects they have in View are simply unattainable, the Committee have endeavoured to issue the present report in the form most useful and intelligible to Colonial readers. F or this reason they have added Short particulars of servicesrendered to the State by the bearers of the names recorded in the various lists of sympathisers. By so doing they believe that the truly representative character of the meet ing will be more fully realised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Governance of Empire The object of presenting this work to the public is twofold. Firstly, as a colonial, my desire is to present a colonial view of the imperial idea, and, secondly, to endeavour to arouse among my countrymen, in the United Kingdom especially, a greater interest and pride in the Empire beyond the seas. My critics may point to the number of able works bearing directly or indirectly upon the British Empire which have been published within recent years, and it may even be said that I am repeating an oft-told tale, that many of the suggestions which I now put forward, with all due deference to these self-same critics, have been made before.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Independence: Annexation and British Imperial Federation The following essay is the amplification of an essay written for Canadian readers by a Canadian long resident in the United States. Annexation implies a transaction to which the two sections concerned must be parties, and therefore is of importance, if not equally momentous, to both. To Americans the annexation, not alone of Canada, but of any further territory and its inhabitants, should be considered in the light of the perilous growth of sectionalism at home.

Download or read book The Origin and the Results of the Imperial Federation Movement in England Classic Reprint written by George Burton Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and the Results of the Imperial Federation Movement in England While this belief was held by most public men, and by many writers on colonial subjects from the early part of the century, its influence was combined with that of another theory before it began to affect the practical action of the government. This was the doctrine that the colonies were nothing but a burden, and that it would be better for England to be rid of them. It is impossible to trace here in any detail the rise and growth of this doctrine, interesting as it might be to do so. It undoubtedly had its origin, like the other idea, in the trou bles of the American revolutionary period. Briefly stated by Adam Smith, just as the war, was beginning,2 and by Dean Tucker a little later,3 it received still more complete and strik ing development from Jeremy Bentham; in 1793, in a paper addressed to the revolutionary government in France, but not published at the time. After an interval of about thirty years, the idea again made its appearance, and this time apparently with some considerable popular support.4 It appeared in the reviews, and was heard in the House of Commons. A writer in the Quarterly Review} of January, considered the no tion prevalent enough to deserve an answer, and indicated its character by saying: It may not be amiss to advert to some objections occasionally advanced against these dependencies altogether. It is sometimes insisted that colonies are burdens. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federation and Empire: A Study in Politics The political problem which will be discussed in the following pages is one which affects the well-being of every inhabitant of the United Kingdom. It is, I believe, the supreme problem of the day: one which must perforce be solved ere long, and be solved by the nation. But it is difficult to induce people to consider this problem carefully, because it entails the examination of a number of questions which cannot be presented to them in an attractive form, and it is therefore difficult to persuade them that the national well-being is really involved in it. The mere mention of a "constitutional" question is apt to strike terror into the hearts of most men. They incline to the opinion that such matters are fit subjects for learned discussion amongst lawyers, but that the average elector should be content to vote blue or buff without wearying himself with theories which are, in all probability, the product of the bookworm or the pedant.
