New Zealand "Neutrality"
The chapter on Vogelism is the highlight of the book "New Zealand in the World," by Prot. F. L. W. Wood), for it covers, so far as external policy is concerned, the most dramatic period of our history-1870 to 1885. We had learned to walk, and sought external paths to explore. Constitutional questions arose as to our rights and obligations as a part of the Empire. We pressed for the right to negotiate our own commercial agreements with foreign countries. We were apprehensive that British policy over which we had no control might expose us to destruction by a country with whom we had no quarrel. New Zealand then made the interesting but novel suggestion that our neutrality might be recognised in wars caused by British policy. How strange and unreal that sounds to-day! (J. H. Luxford, S.M., in a review from 2YA, September 5.)
