SHORTT Anything' More Than Advisory Gathering Not Compatible portant Contribution. toward the proposal to change the constitution and function of the econ- ference into those of a council of the empire clothed with executive power. Prol. Shortt says : . Another colonial conference is about 10 assemble, and although few hive any longer a feverish anxiety as to the outcome, yet many throughout the will follow the, ings with considerable interest. furore sentiment which fol- Jowed the South African war is steadily on the wane, and the motley jon of visionary schemes for consolidating the empire which lately J cach other before the foot ts of the foremsic and literary st are now playing with listless spirit to ty benches. Now, there fore, that the atmosphere has been somewhat clarified, and that so much of the impracticable has been demon- strated to be what it is, and not what is proiessed to be, it may be ible rm some modegl but real ad- vance to be mmde towéhrds a better understanding among the various fac- tors of the British empire. While very little change has taken ace during the last century and a If in ghe structure, and none what- over in the realimtion of these perio- dically reinflated nnd regilded pros jects for federating the 'empire; a very remarkable progress has heen made in that time towards the concrete de velopment of a better understanding and more norma! and harmonious re- lations between the different portions of the empire. The more important sections, however, instead of moving towards federation, have moved steadily in the opposite direction: in other words, towards a more self- governing and scjf-responsible status. movement, by bringing the common level, has at once diminished the attitude of suspicion with which the self-reliant colonial regarded thé paternal administration of the mother country, and has equally mitigated the air of condescension with which the typical representative of the] mother country regarded his colonial possessions. 4 ---- Influence Of British Reformer. It is to be noted that this respon- sible self-government on the part of the different portions of the empire is not primarily a feature of their re- lation to each other, but is essential- ly an pression of their domestic de vel t which carries with it as an incidental though necessary feature a change in their external relations to each other, Further, this development of democratic self-government did not first emerge in the colonies, but in Prjtain itself, whence it was copied by 'the colonies. The long struggle for responsible government in Canada was supported and encouraged entire ly by the example of what was being realized in Britain, and it was the sympathy and co-operation of the radical reformers in Pritain with their disciples and followers in the colonies which in the end secured for the lat- ter the peaceable recognition of their right to self-government. The im- perialist element, on the contrary, steadily maintained that to comm terunce such claims or permit their realization involved the dismember- ment and ruin of the empire. It was indeed just because the democratic reform element in Britain, in Vemand ing responsible self-government for themselves, frankly favored conceding it to the colonists as well, that they were branded 'as .anti-imperialists amd Little Englanders. However, - they steatlily argned that only thropgh such concessions could the pr and resoeet of 'the eolonies be faster el and retaineds How completely their polioy and predictions have been vindicated history records. .
