The Round Table.

We have already published in these columns some very able articles articles on “ The Dominions and the War. ” The “Round Table” is a review of very exceptional merit, and the proprietors evidently take a very high and serious view of their duty to the Empire, especially in this /time of great national stress, and they evidently spare no paints to get the best opinions on the great problems of the day. All the articles are carefully thought out and well and clearly written, and are well worth the thoughtful consideration of all who have the welfare of the Empire at heart.

As is very forcibly pointed out in the articles under review, the Great War has brought to a head questions that havo been engaging the attention of the great men of tho Empire for a very long time. Everyone must admit, that the present state of affairs between the Motherland and her colonies cannot go on much longer, that the Colonies must take on their shoulders their lair share of the burden of Empire, and that they must also be given the privilege of having their say in the settlement of all great questions affecting the whole nation. Ever>oneJias his part to play in the present war. Some must go to the front and there bear the heat and burden of the day, but there are many who, for various reasons cannot go to the front. Their work is at home, and not the least part of that work is to help mould public opinion, so that when the wise men of tho Empire gather next in London, they may feel that they have a mandate from their respective parts of the Empire to bring about a state of things under which every part shall have its say in the settlement of great and momentous questions. In the “ Round Table,” these things are well thrashed out, and any one who takes an intelligent interest in Imperial affairs snould peruse the valuable articles offered to them. From time to time it is our intention to publish short extracts from these articles, and we earnestly commend them to the attention of our readers.
