"That tho desirability be considered of replacing the system or xraoo pro mum at nrwsent rranted by the over seas dominions to Great Britain by a system of contributions in money or services to imperial nam u " defense." . - ... . This resolution, coming asH did at a time when tho Canadian reciprocity agreement was pending both before the legislature at Washington and tho dom inion parliament, Ottawa, Canada, raised . tAffli of nrotest among English citi zens. The press of all political factions' t.nut tha resolution ana wramwiwa strongly upon Its introduction at a time When so many important measures were before the English parliament. In fact so strong waa the pressure brought to bear upon tho ministry of South Africa by tho home government that the governor general. Lord Gladstone, submitted a letter recalling section No. 4 of the ten tali Venresolutlona f otdis cusslon before the imperial conference, stating that he had been advised by his miniitn ttiat thev desired to postpone the debate upon trade preference. bu "that "the right honorable, the prime minister hoped that he would have op portunity during his stay in London to discuss ths question raised with his majesty's 'government-" This action on tho part of Lord Glad stons and the ministry of the union of South Africa eliminates a discussion of this all Interesting feature from tho official imperial conference, but at the same time strongly Intimates that it will be taken up by the visiting mini sters and the imperial government out side tho meeting room. Such an action makes it clear that England's colonies, though they, do not Intend to coerce the Imperial government will insist upon this Important . matter being thrashed out at an early date probably before tho termination of the present confer enoe. Apart from tho Question of tho pref erence several subjects of the most vital Importance u tho future of tho empire are to bo raised. Australia win move to rescind tho objectionable feafr urea of tho declaration of London, and Now Zealand has two equally Important resolutions, one relating to tho estab lishment of an Imperial council and tho other the reorganisation of the colonial office, . , Vow Eealand's Badioal Suggestion. Tho first of the resolutions -from New Zealand Is apt to prove rather startling to tho orthodox Englishman for it Is nothing, more or lees than a. resolution providing .for . the establishment of & council which shall be composed of members from the constituent parts of the empire, whether self governing or otherwise, and which shall form an ad vtsory body having a, voloe In all-mat ters before the borne government per taining to matters relating to the col onies. .....!, '. ,-.-.. ... i, . Tbe second resolution provides for tho reconstitute of the colonial office and sets forth that It is essential to the welfare of the colonies that tho depart ment of the dominions bo separated from that of the crown colonies and that each department be placed tinder a permanent separate lender secretary. This resolution - alo-provldesfor tho creation of high commissioners " who shall have the status of foreign am bassadors and . be called Into council with the Imperial government when ever matters pertaining to the self gov erning dominions shall some under dis cussion. This resolution if acted upon favorably will make tbe high commis sioners the only channel of communi cation' between the Imperial and domin. Ion governments. Other, and scarcely less Important resolutions presented by progresslvs New Zealand provide for. tho Inter change of all civil servants between the dominion governments and the Im perial with a view to familiarising them with the governments and needs of both that they may Intelligently meet all questions that will arise In the .future; tbe establishment of a transportation Still Less Than $400 and Teddy .
