Book excerpt: Excerpt from Review of Recent Literature on the Subject of "the Relations of Canada to the Empire" Mr. Worsfold believes with Lord Sydenham of Combe, who writes the introduction, that the path of least resis tance along which we have been travelling in our instinctive search for some form of Imperial unity would have eventually ended in separation of the Dominions, but that the war has brought our great opportunity. For, in the first place, never again can we hope for so powerful and spontaneous an impulse to common action as in this time of stupendous common sacrifice, and, in the second place, never before have we seen so clearly what it might mean to preserve and develop one quarter of the habitable globe in the interests of these many peoples under one flag.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada and Her Relations to the Empire The British Empire has grown with great rapidity, and the relations between the Mother Country and the Colonies have been constantly changing. Canada is one of the oldest Colonies, and yet her history can only be said to fairly commence with the migration of the United Empire Loyalists at the close of the American Revolution in 1788. A little over one hundred years have elapsed, and how many changes have occurred! In 1784, the loyal exiles, who had lost everything by standing true to the Motherland, were practically wards of the State. Tools and other necessaries had to be provided by the Imperial Government, and for a time the population was necessarily fed, or partly fed, by rations distributed by Imperial officers. The Provision Lists of this date arc a most pathetic feature of our records, containing, as they do, the names of the very best and wealthiest classes of the old colonies-educated, refined, and law-abiding citizens, who had lost the savings of generations through their loyalty to the Empire. After this period came the establishment of Upper Canada as a Province under the Act of 175)1. This Act gave the people certain self-governing powers, hut provided for an irresponsible executive. With the growth of population and means came the desire for responsible government, and for the fuller control of local affairs. This came in 1840 with the Union of Upper and Lower Canada. In 1867, the Confederation of the l ominion was accomplished, and almost imperceptibly with the increased territory, population, and strength, Canada has acquired far greater powers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada, Vol. 8: Publications of the Year 1903 The aspect of Canada's relations to the Empire that in 1903 has overshadowed all others has been Mr. Chamberlain's pro posal for preferential tariffs.' Already the literature of the subject is extensive, but fortunately for the readers of this Review most of it relates to the proposal chiefly as a contem plated change in the fiscal system of Great Britain, and there fore requires no notice here. There are two aspects of the ques tion, one Imperial, the other economic. On the economic side Canada is already committed to the principle of preferential tarifis, and we turn first to this as it is now presented to the British public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada and the Empire These are days when it is well to listen to earnest men speaking their convictions and hopes concerning Canada and the Empire. If they are extravagant we can pardon it. If their reasoning seems sometimes to take too much for granted, or if their opinions are not in full accord with our own, we can nevertheless welcome what they say as a real contribution to those better opinions, to which we shall all be led in due time by experience and a wider observation. Canada is great in fact and in promise now: she will be greater by-and-bye. To-day she is devotedly attached to the British Empire; we earnestly hope, with the author, that this attachment may never weaken. Butas Canada grows greater changes must come within the Empire, and in the relations existing between her and the Mother Country, if her growth is to be relatively as significant to the Empire as to herself. In Great Britain there are a few men who realize this fully, and a multitude who fail to realize it. For this reason pamphlets of this character are needed. The campaign of illumination, by which the British are to learn what Canada is as a field for emigrants from the British Isles and as a source of supply for Britain's needs, will be long and tedious. Mr. St. Dalmas, himself an Englishman, wants to have some part in spreading the light, as this pamphlet, full of facts and prophecies, attests. Having spent nearly thirty years in Canada, and having had special opportunities to discover the vastness of its extent and resources, his enthusiastic hopes have a basis in his own knowledge. While some of his conclusions may not commend themselves to all readers, his buoyant hopefulness, intense Canadian ism, and unreserved candor are certain to make his pamphlet interesting to all who read it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada and Its Relations to the British Empire: An Address It will be agreed that there is a widespread feeling in the Overseas Dominions and in Great Britain and Ireland that our mutual relations within the Empire must undergo a change in the reconstruction period following the war. There will not be the same agreement as to what the changes should be. We all know there are wide differences of Opinion as to what should be done, as there may well be in a matter of such grave importance. There is an important body of Opinion which is unsettled rather than informed, and which is discovering itself, at least to the extent that it is inquiring what the problem is and what are the suggested alternatives for its solution. Permit me to ask - have you reached a clear belief that the Empire should continue? Do you consider it has life which is so vital as a great civilizing force that you refuse to contemplate the world being deprived of its benefits Does it represent to you power and usefulness and efficiency in unselfish service, and have you grown into a conviction that it possesses such abiding value to those who are within it, and to the world out side, that its members should perpetuate it in an indissolubleunion? Or have you thought of it as something that only may continue, that it is probably a passing development which will naturally break up into its constituent parts later, and that the possibility of such a result does not disturb you?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review and Magazine, Vol. 24: August, 1912 No oversea statesman has been received in this country with greater cordiality than Mr. Borden, Prime Minister Of the Dominion Of Canada. And I speak with knowledge, for it has been my good fortune to assist in welcoming every minister of importance who has visited the Old Country from the Dominions since the memorable conference of 1888. I say memorable, because then, for the first time, statesmen of the Homeland and statesmen from oversea gathered together in the heart of the Empire to discuss the momentous and vital question of Imperial Defence. On that occasion it was, if I remember rightly, the military defence of the Empire that chiefly occupied the attention of the Conference. On the present occasion it was mainly the question Of naval defence that brought the Canadian ministers to London. Other matters to be considered with the Home Authorities are the questions Of Imperial naturalisation and the Law of Copyright. Conversations will also take place, I understand, relating to postal, cable and steamship communication, as well as the proposal to impose preferential rates on the American shipping using the Panama Canal, a proposal fraught with much danger to the progress of Canadian trade. Nor will the subject of the relations between Canada and the West Indies be overlooked. But above and beyond all the purport Of Mr. Borden's visit is to confer with the authorities here on the all-important question of the Canadian contribution to the Navy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unconscious Traitors, or Canada, the War and the Empire When, however, a leading man in a political party justifies armed rebellion without rebuke, when we find all the aliens independents and annexionists in sympathy with or affiliated to a particular party, when that party itself has con sistently Opposed all the corollaries of Confederation necessary to its fullest ma turity, when it has advocated policies regarding which it has been warned that they would lead to annexation and merely responded even so, when, while regarding the perfect liberties of our citizens with great complacency it has repudiated any sense of obligation to the power which guarantees and protects those liberties, then it becomes a question whether the phrase unconscious traitors should not give place to Macdonald's phrase veiled treason.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Preferential Trade: From a Canadian Point of View Mr. Chamberlain, with his unique capacity for burying himself in one idea at a time, has been chiefly instrument al in preaching the decline of British power and capacity. Nothing more strikingly demonstrates his well-known demagogic influence than his remarkable feat in bring ing so many British people from a condition of prosperous contentment to the very brink of ruin, within a twelve month. The very Empire itself is for him but as clay in the hands of the potter; for has he not assured us time and again, that by 'means of the Boer War he brought it to a condition of unparalleled unity and solidarity; and has he not, within a very short period, reduced it to such a parlous condition that nothing can save us from destruo tion but committing our destinies to his charge, by giving him a blank mandate to work out our salvation N ow we in Canada cannot dictate to the British people what com mercial policy they must adopt, for we in the past chose for ourselves, and insisted upon following the example of the United States, not that of Britain. We can have noth ing to say, therefore, even should the British people under the influence of Mr. Balfour, Mr. Chamberlain, and their assistants, become convinced that their day of greatness and independence has suddenly passed, and that hence forth instead of following a policy of their own and lead ing the commercial world, as they have done so long, they must go back several centuries and learn once more to imitate the example and'copy the policy of other Europ ean nations. But, in the face of such possible changes, it behooves us in Canada to know where we stand, so that we shall not be blindly committed to a line of policy which may be inconsistent with our national interests and dignity, or threaten the maintenance of those higher relationships within the Empire, which must be inde pendent of fiscal changes in any part of it.
