BRITAIN AND Til K IBM !M IUB The splitting of the old Colonial Office into two Ministries, one concerned with Dominion affairs and the other with the colonies and dependencies, did not merely complete the formal emancipation of the Dominions. Jt was, or it ought to he. an acknowledgment of the claims of the Colonial Empire no less. The idea of a union of eoecpial and self-governing communities was already firmly implanted in the English mind, \\~hat it still lacks is any adequate conception ol the territories classed as "colonial.” The British electe-ate is directly responsible for their government and prosperity. British labour and commerce are directly and indirectly interested in their progress. The fortunes of this industrial island in the coming years are more dependent on that progress than is yet understood. The Colonial Empire has an area of two million square miles, a population of forty millions. Though we have, in Lord Milner’s measured words, "neglected and starved” them, the trade between the United Kingdom and this great section of the Empire has trebled in the past twenty years. If the whole force of finance and science at our command could he organised to bear upon that, connection, the trading figures could be trebled again. The modern colonial system has stood the political test. Britain has to justify it henceforth by tfie economic test. Her own interests require it. the world, with its growing interest in markets and raw materials, expects it; and the advancement of the peoples under her rule is a mere aspiration without It. —'file “ Observer.”
