Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ...regard to the advisability of obtaining a survey at the joint cost of Her Majesty's Government, and the Australian Colonies, and Canada, I have not the least idea I shall carry my motion; but, so convinced am I that the motions you have carried will result in nothing but delay, similar to that which has taken place since 1887, that I feel justified in putting this resolution before the meeting for the purpose of putting on record the objection which I have taken to that method of procedure. However, to be in harmony with other gentlemen, and with other Colonies, I have agreed to that proposition, although I do not think it will result in any practical work being done in the direction we all wish. I will not take up the time of the Conference longer; I have already enlarged very considerably upon the question. The survey will be put off, and put off, and I am perfectly certain that in three years we shall be no further advanced than at the present day. I will do no more, sir, than put before the meeting these propositions, and ask the opinion of the Conference upon them, so that I shall have, as I said before, my objections upon record. Two things may occur. First of all, it may be that if these proposals are rejected it may spur on the British Government to do something. They may say one Colony brought before the Conference the advisability of doing this by contract, we will not allow that, we will do it ourselves. On the other hand, if the British Government do not consider this favourably, and do not do anything, as I do not think they will, then you have this position to fallback upon. However, it will be on record that one Colony has indicated the method in which we ought to do this work. I will move the four en bloc. Hon. Mr....

Book Description
The relations of Great Britain and its Dominions significantly influenced the development of the British Empire in the late 19th and the first third of the 20th century. The mutual attitude to the constitutional issues that Dominion and British leaders have continually discussed at Colonial and Imperial Conferences respectively was one of the main aspects forming the links between the mother country and the autonomous overseas territories. This volume therefore focuses on the key period when the importance of the Dominions not only increased within the Empire itself, but also in the sphere of the international relations, and the Dominions gained the opportunity to influence the forming of the Imperial foreign policy. During the first third of the 20th century, the British Empire gradually transformed into the British Commonwealth of Nations, in which the importance of Dominions excelled. The work is based on the study of unreleased sources from British archives, a large number of published documents and extensive relevant literature.
