LINKS OF EMPIRE
“The love of your native land—meanin- bv that the actual soil, black, white, or red. of which it is composed, and whereon nestle the homesteads of your people; and not. by any manner of means, the rival foreign policies and hacking of the wrong horses by Statesmen— is the strongest binding tie in human nature as that compound at present exists, all the world over. Whether the delocalisation o! mankind. in the sense of being able to mitigate the passions, that spring from these domestic’domiciles, can ever he accomplished, who can say? Some think the word Federation may prove the master-key of the difficulty, and eventuate in the production of the United States of Europe, if not of India and Africa; hut that day. if it is ever destined to dawn, is too far distant to came within the scope of useful imaginings.”—The Eight Hon. Augustine Birrcll.
