Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Imperial Conference, Vol. 2 of 2: A History and Study Belated wisdom, learning from the event, may easily suggest that Mr. Chamberlain made a fatal mistake in deciding to rely upon the conversion of the Unionist Party to his policy, instead of at once setting about the creation of a new political party, which by this time might have become a paramount force. In general it can be stated now with confidence that the victory of Tariff Reform has been delayed by a popular distrust of the Unionist Party rather than by any abiding dislike of Mr. Chamberlain's policy, which by nature is congenial to British instincts. But in one respect Mr. Chamberlain was handicapped by circumstances which could not be ignored or evaded. In 1903 the people of Britain were mostly Free Traders; not indeed by conviction - few of them ever having been concerned to examine the matter - but by tradition, which counts for almost as much. The protagonist of Preference appealed to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Imperial Conference of 1911 From Within The first chapter of this book containing, as it mainly does, short personal sketches of several of those members of the present British Cabinet who took part in the last Imperial Conference, is chiefly intended for Colonial readers, to whom I have hoped to convey some definite impressions of the personality of men whom they have never seen, but of whose acts and utterances they read so much. My explanation and criticism of the methods of the Conference, and of the work it did, will be found in the second and third chapters. In the fourth chapter, which, it will be seen, comprises the major portion of the book, I have dealt somewhat fully with the proposal New Zealand made at the Conference for a Representative Imperial Council, and with the attitude of the present British Government towards that proposal.

Download or read book Ireland and the Imperial Conference written by Frederick Scott Oliver and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland and the Imperial Conference: Is There a Way to a Settlement? In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the obvious inference is the right one. It seems safe, therefore, to conclude that during the past century Ireland has been a badly-managed concern. This conclus10n 1s peculiarly discouraging, for the reason that, during the whole of this period, there was a steady growth of good intentions in Great Britain. For the past hundred years each succeeding generation of English men, Scotsmen and Welshmen has listened more patiently than its predecessor to Irishmen setting forth their tale of grievances in Parliament, upon the platform, and in the Press. Each succeeding genera tion has striven harder than its predecessor to do its duty by Ireland, and to make reparation for the misfeasances of its grandsires down to the twentieth remove. Yet all we have to show for it is a dwindling population, an imperfect development, a perpetual discontent. If Great Britain had not been trying so hard to do its duty the results might appear less discouraging. If, like our grandsires down to the twentieth remove - from the landing of Henry the Second in the twelfth century, to the Act of Union at the beginning of the nineteenth - if, like them, we had frankly disregarded our duty to Ireland, we might now perhaps console ourselves with the hope of remedying present evils by reforming our own characters and mending our ways. But we reformed our own characters and mended our ways long ago and yet the evils refuse to be remedied. Putting matters at their very lowest, and looking at England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India merely as so many branches of the same business, what would the verdict be on net results Would any clear-headed accountant, when he came to con trast the dwindling of the one with the prosperity of all the others, hesitate for a single moment to say that there must be something very wrong with the management of Ireland? He might not be able at the first glance to determine whether the bad results were due to want of foresight, vacillation, neglect, corruption or stupidity but without the least doubt he would lay the blame, not upon the rank and file of the stafi, but upon the managers and their methods of organisation. It would be absurd, -of course, to attempt any strict comparison between a country and a shop. None the less, Gladstone's famous statement that you cannot excuse failure of govern ment by the doctrine of a double dose of original sin in the governed, is one of the least disputable propositions ever laid down by any statesman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Commonwealth of Nations: A Study of Its Past and Future Development The problems of government presented by the British Empire fall roughly into three great categories: (I) problems of national government, (2) problems of imperial government, (3) problems of international government. Into the first category fall questions centring in and chiefly concerning some one member of the group of five self-governing States, namely, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. Into the second category fall questions arising out of the relationships between these self-governing States and their dependencies (e.g., as between the United Kingdom and India, or the Crown Colonies, Protectorates, Mandated Territories, etc.; or as between Australia and Papua, or New Zealand and Samoa, or South Africa and late German South-West Africa). Into the third category fall questions arising out of the mutual relationships of the group of five States already mentioned. It is with this third category, the problem of international government presented by the relationships between the Dominions and the United Kingdom, that this book is mainly concerned. Its aim is to trace the rise of this problem, to give a critical account of the momentous developments of the last few years, to investigate the various aspects of the problem as it faces us to-day, and to suggest the general lines along which the British Commonwealth should develop in the future, not merely in respect of its internal relations, but also in respect of its relations with the all-inclusive League of Nations. The British Commonwealth has now readied the third of the three great turning-points in its development. The first was the American Revolution, and the second the grant of a limited Responsible Government to Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Records of the Conference: Together With Addresses Delivered at the Evening Meetings The significance of the World Missionary Conference will be set in a clearer light by a brief retrospect of previous Conferences of an interdenominational character convened to discuss foreign missions. They originated apparently in the year 1854. The first was occasioned by the visit of Dr. Alexander Duff to America, and was held on 4th and 5th May in the hall of Dr. Alexander's Church in New York. It was attended by 150 members, including eleven missionaries and eighteen officers of various Missionary Societies and Boards. Besides the scriptural basis of missions, three questions of missionary policy were discussed: the question of concentrating or scattering labourers, the question of different Boards planting stations on the same ground, and the question of multiplying and preparing labourers. The second Conference was held in London on 12th and 13th October of the same year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About China and Japan The present volume has been written primarily to allow the ordinary reader to see at a glance what the position really is today in Eastern Asia, and to explain precisely why there should be conflict between China and Japan. The essential point - which the writer first insisted upon at great length in The Fight for the Republic in China - is that a dual policy, one policy for the East for the West; that she uses military power and secret loans to advance the first, and diplomacy and publicity the second and that this intricate matter can be understood only by exploring the history of the remote past and linking it up with what is taking place to-day. The fact that the Imperial Conference, which has just concluded its labours, failed to reach any unanimous conclusions on the subject of Japan gives additional point to the arguments which follow, and demands that the important group of documents in the Appendix - particularly the anglo-japanese Treaty - be studied in the light of this new development.
