This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Government of the British Dominions IN the autumn of 1914 when the scientific study of the effects 5 of war upon modern life passed suddenly from theory to history, the Division of Economics and History of the Carnegie Endow ment for International Peace proposed to adjust the programme of its researches to the new and altered problems which the War presented. The existing programme, which had been prepared as the result of a conference of economists held at Berne in 1911, and which dealt with the facts then at hand, had just begun to show the quality of its contributions; but for many reasons it could no longer be followed out. A plan was therefore drawn up at the request of the Director of the Division, in which it was proposed by means of an historical survey, to attempt to measure the economic cost of the War and the displacement which it was causing in the processes of civilization. Such an Economic and Social History of the World War', it was felt, if undertaken by men of judicial temper and adequate training, might ultimately, by reason of its scientific obligations to truth, furnish data for the forming of sound public Opinion, and thus contribute fundamentally toward the aims of an institution dedicated to the cause of international peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and the British Dominions Germany. And, in this state of things, what would be the position of the British Dominions? It is improbable that Germany would desire at once to annex them as portions of her Empire. She would probably, at first, be content to put pressure to hear so that they should sever their political connexion with Great Britain; and then would attempt to obtain the monopoly of their trade by enforcing preferential treatment. Were emigration from Germany again to become necessary or expedient, the emigrants would be encouraged to go to Canada or Australasia; by which means the German element in these communities would be strengthened. Meanwhile, in various directions the emissaries of German 'culture' would be spreading their nets. Elsewhere German action might be more direct. According to the summary of his speech telegraphed to England, General Smuts has recently stated that there is evidence in the hands of the South African Union Government of German intrigues against British South Africa. It is impossible for as here to know the character of such evidence but we all remember the exultant message which the German Kaiser dispatched on receiving the news of the foolish fiasco of the Jameson raid. It showed better than reams of commentary how close was the attention being paid by Queen Victoria's august grandson to the possibilities of trouble for the British Empire. Happily for Great Britain, 'by a certain divine good fortune the members of the German governing classes excel in offending those whom it. Is their interest to conciliate. Thus, after the treaty of Vereeniging, Transvaal farmeis trekked into German south-west Africa to escape the humiliation of British rule. Most of them, however, soon found their way back, recognizing that the whipcords of British dominion were far lighter than the scorpions of German authority. Similarly, if.

Download or read book The Government of the British Empire Classic Reprint written by Edward Jenks and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the British Empire It is, perhaps, needless to say, that this book is not intended to compete with the standard works on the Constitution which have been produced by eminent writers, such as the late Sir William Anson, the late Bishop Stubbs, or Professor Dicey, happily still with us. Still less does it claim to rival the classical monographs on the various aspects of the Constitution which are the work of experts in the strict sense. It is written only in the hope that those who have not yet the leisure, or who have not yet arrived at the age, to appreciate these larger works, will be enabled by it to look forward to that advantage at a later date. And the immediate prospect of a largely increased electorate, combined with the great stimulus of interest in problems of government produced by the war, would seem to make that hope reasonable. For the many defects of the book, the writer will not apologize; for lie knows that critics best able to appreciate the difficulty of writing it, will be the readiest to forgive them. He will merely deprecate the suggestion that the book is a "precis" of larger treatises. So far as it goes, it is original both in plan and execution, and from first-hand material. For neither plan nor execution is any one but the writer responsible. Nevertheless, it is the waiter's keen pleasure, as well as his bounden duty, to tender his grateful thanks to those acquaintances and friends who have been ungrudging with their help on the matters upon which he has appealed to them.

Download or read book An Analysis of the System of Government Throughout the British Empire Classic Reprint written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Analysis of the System of Government Throughout the British Empire It has been estimated that the Empire of Rome at the height of its power covered 1,600,000 square miles of territory and was acknowledged by about 85 millions of subjects. King George V. reigns to-day over 11,400,000 square miles of territory and over a population of 410 millions. The British Empire therefore surpasses the Empire of Rome - the only true Imperial precedent - by a margin infinitely greater than that which separated Rome from the Eastern dominations which preceded it. It far surpasses in extent, in wealth and populousness any which Napoleon saw in his dreams under the Egyptian stars. It differs moreover from every Empire which has dominated the world in the fact that its territory is not continuous, or even relatively continuous. Its ramifications embrace every continent, its interests are paramount on every sea. The expanse of its territory is matched only by the complexity of its organisation - a complexity which is amply demonstrated in the succeeding pages. This complexity is not entirely due to the haphazard manner in which the Imperial power has been built up, now by the fortune of war or the exigencies of strategy, now by the need for securing order in outlying territories, now by the natural expansion of a virile people. It is due at least as much to the fact that the constitution, or rather the constitutions, of the Empire reflect every dominant phase of the British genius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Empire: Six Lectures The British Empire, as seen through German eyes at this time of international bitterness, is a creation of force and fraud, an image with feet of clay, a collection of down trodden races and communities, eager to rebel in short, an evil in the world which ought to be wiped out. No sane Englishman and no sane man in any neutral nation shares this view. But though before the present war knowledge of. The realities of the Empire was steadily growing in the United Kingdom, it was still only half knowledge or less; and, moreover, among a large section of Englishmen there was a suspicion of Empire, both the word and the thing, as implying jingoism, vainglory, and hypocrisy. Hence arose the term of Little Englander. Coupled with this suspicion there was a feeling among some, at any rate, of the working men of England, that the Empire was of no use to them, and that they had no use for the Empire. It might be the luxury of the richer classes, but how, they asked, was the working man of England benefited by the Empire It is proposed in the following pages to state as shortly, as simply, and as honestly as the writer can, how this Empire came into being, and what it means; to explain that it is not a mere creation of force and fraud; and to try to prove that it is at once the interest and the duty of all.

Book excerpt: Using government records, private letters and diaries and contemporary media sources, this book examines the key themes affecting the relationship between Britain and the Dominions during the Second World War, the Empire's last great conflict. It asks why this political and military coalition was ultimately successful in overcoming the challenge of the Axis powers but, in the process, proved unable to preserve itself. Although these changes were inevitable the manner of the evolution was sometimes painful, as Britain's wartime economic decline left its political position exposed in a changing post-war international system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British War Administration This study of British War Administration by Professor Fairlie is one of a series of war studies organized by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to lay a preliminary basis for future more thorough study of the effects of the war on economic and social life. It is hoped at some later time, after the distractions of the war are over, and the lives of men have returned to normal conditions, that we shall be able to measure more exactly and estimate more carefully the changes induced by the war in the administration of governments, and particularly the extent to which these changes are likely to be permanent. A superficial view and a hasty judgment would indicate that the world has taken great strides in the direction of state socialism. It is not surprising that the demand of the socialists for an extension of government activities in the sphere of economic life should be strengthened in war time by the added call of a large number of people who are impressed with the apparent efficiency of the management by government departments of certain industries for the purposes of the war. These new advocates of state socialism are not to be classed with what we may call professional socialists, but rather belong to that large class of the American people, to be found in a considerable number in any intelligent democracy, who are overimpressed with the temporary success of a new political or social experiment carried on under pretty definite conditions, with pretty definite ends in view. They forget that the economic and social life of the people is vastly more complex and difficult to adjust in normal times of peace activity than it is in time of war, when many of the ordinary industrial and commercial activities of the world are much reduced in scope and limited in number. Such people are impressed with the splendid success which the British Government has had in many of its wartime administrative expedients and organizations.
