Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Empire: Its Past, Its Present, and Its Future The Object of this volume and its successors is, like those of the League Of the Empire itself. Primarily educational. Its essential purpose is to pro mote a knowledge and, what is more important, an understanding of the Empiie as it is and of the causes which have brought it into being, and to pro vide that minimum of information without which all discussion of Imperial questions is barren, if not productive of positive mischief. The secondary object is to make further provision for education in the Empire. The expenses of the series having been already met, all the proceeds will be devoted to the furtherance of education without distinction of class.

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. My reply is, The thing that hath been, is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun (eccles. I.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Character of the British Empire Nearly all the great self-governing nations of the world are now combined in a desperate struggle against the scarcely-veiled military despotism of the Central European Powers, and the object of the struggle has been well defined by President Wilson as the securing of freedom for democracy, so that it shall be safe from the threats of militarist, so conquering empires. In the forefront of the group of States engaged in the defence of democracy stands the British Empire, the greatest dominion that has ever existed in history, which covers a quarter of the earth's surface, and in which a quarter of the earth's population is subject (at any rate, in form) to the rule of two small European islands. The very existence of this huge Empire seems to many people to stultify in some degree the cause for which the world's democracies are fighting. It seems, at first sight, to be simply the greatest example of that spirit of conquest and of military dominion against which we are striving. This is the view taken by some neutrals. "Imperialism is the enemy," says one Swiss writer; "whatever from it takes, German or Russian, British or French, it is equally the foe of free government." The Germans themselves make great play with this notion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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. He was therefore continually urging me to put down my recollections in order that they should be preserved.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire and the Century: A Series of Essays Imperial Problems and Possibilities by Various Writers IF there is any truth in Schiller's saying, Men rise by their higher purposes, ' it is as applicable to nations as to individuals. In no period in history has it fallen to the lot of mankind to Witness a greater Empire than the British Empire of to-day, and it follows as a logical conclusion that the administration of such an Empire must needs imply a heavy weight of responsibility. Are we conscious Of these responsibilities, and is the nation rising to meet them? Surely, on no occasion is the question Of its future more Vital, is, in fact, the duty of reﬂection and examination more in keeping With national rejoicing, than on the centenary Of the great naval battle Which determined the future Of the Empire and laid the foundations of modern Europe, To serious men Trafalgar should be considered in the light of a national sacrament. The lessons of the past are weighed, our vows for the future renewed. Re Jolcmg must be combined with national self-examina tion, and the conditions of our success in the past used as a guide to our conduct in the future.

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 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 Empire on the Anvil: Being Suggestions and Data for the Future Government of the British Empire "In the creation of the British Empire design has been conspicuously absent, The process has followed the general laws of evolution. Here and there a great statesman may have marked and sought to guide the swift onward progress or may have pondered as to how the inevitable requirements of the future were to be met. Great wars have forcibly directed attention to the strategic importance of particular points, and have left their impress upon the national policy; but the lessons were not all applied, and the readjustments, which followed on long contests in which Great Britain played a leading part, do not always show either clear purpose or adequate foresight. The incentive to expansion appears to have been supplied mainly by commercial rivalry, impelling forward a race which cherishes a strong aversion to militarism. It is natural that questions of Imperial defence should have been neglected." With these words, written nineteen years ago, I prefaced an attempt to draw serious attention to the urgent need of the organisation of the Empire for the purposes of Imperial defence.

The increase of territory and population following on the South African War, and the development of the political organisa tion (especially noticeable in the formation of the Commonwealth of Australia) are not the only signs of these changes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trade Relations of the British Empire The original edition was hed almost simultane ously with the birth of on that has since raged so fiercely round the subject it deals with. It is hardly necessary to say, therefore, that it was written entirely free from the inﬂuence of the controversy, and in a much calmer and more judicial frame of mind than would be possible now. Reperusal of the work has convinced me that no new facts have been brought to light in the interval to modify the position I then took; rather am I more firmly of the opinion that it one. For this reason I have decided to text, with only such alterations as are necessary to make the incorporated statistics the latest obtainable; and whenever I have desired to make fresh comment, I have done so in the form of a special footnote, thus making the second edition as nearly as possible an exact reproduction of the first.

The difficulties that stand in the way of forming such an incorporating organ of the life of the peoples of the British Empire are greater than those that attended the formation of any similar union now known to the world. The successful federation of the United States of America, the federation of the provinces of Canada, of the states of Australia, and of the provinces of South Africa, may, indeed, encourage us to seek for some practicable scheme of common government, consistent with the varying facts and circumstances of our life; but in the task of framing such a scheme there is little help, beyond the stimulus of example, to be got from the federal unions already in exist ence either within or without the limits of the Empire. The task of devising them was of a totally different kind from ours, and vastly less complicated in its character and conditions.
