Excerpt from The Navy and the Nation: Or Naval Warfare and Imperial Defence The England of Raleigh had a population of less than six millions, and a trade insignificant if measured by modern standards. Until after the Union of 1707, Scotland brought no strength to the national cause, while Ireland was a standing source of weakness. The young settlement of Virginia was not founded till 1606, and Jamaica was not wrested from Spain till 165 5. Relatively to France, Spain, and Austria, almost to Holland, England was a small State, with few resources. Her one hope of future greatness lay in the manifestation of sea power - in the gifts of what has been styled, with strange oblivion of the plain teaching of history, the unstable element. The British Empire of to-day embraces eleven millions of square miles, with a population approaching three hundred and fifty millions, and a sea-borne commerce whose annual value is at least sterling.' This stupendous development of three hundred years has been rendered possible solely by naval agencies. So abundantly has the sturdy faith of the Elizabethan seamen been justified by works.

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.

Excerpt from The Colonial Conference: The Cobden Club's Reply to the Preferential Proposals What light does the Colonial Conference of 1907 throw upon the future of the British Empire, especially as regards the relations between the Mother Country and the self-governing Colonies? Before endeavouring to answer this question by examining the Report of the Conference, it is desirable to present a brief account of the official circumstances which led to this Conference. The movement for a closer organisation of the parts of the Empire for common purposes of government, defence, and trade, had long been occupying the attention of politicians both in Great Britain and the Colonies before the advent of Mr. Chamberlain to the office of Colonial Secretary in 1895 gave practical importance to the proposals. Not only had private associations in this country been educating public opinion upon the advisability of Imperial Federation, but as far back as 1874 Lord Carnarvon, on entering the Colonial Office, had definitely set himself to promote the federation of Colonial groups as a step towards the fuller federation. When Mr. Chamberlain became Colonial Secretary in 1895 directed all his energy to the promotion of this object. Events in Australia and, as he thought, in South Africa, were moving rapidly towards local federation, and the association of these groups in one great federal union appeared to him quite practicable.
