The correspondence between the I'm
perial Federation Committee and the
Ministers Of State. which was publish
ed today indicates that the colonies
OF Great Britain may be called upon
90 contribute towards the cost of main
tanning the Imperial navy. and in turn
De offered prOpOrtiOnate share In its
control. The Imperial Federation
Committee urges that this arrange
ment would tighten the burden Of the
British taxpayer and al the same time
advance the cause Of Imperial unity.
The utterances OF colonial statesmen.
including Sir Jules Vogel. formerly
Prime Minister of New Zealand, are
cited 90 show that they support the
movement The Marquis of Salisbury
pointed ont 90 the members of the
committee that there were fatal risks
attending q divided control OF naval
affairs. but the Duke Of DevOnshire,
Lord President of the Council, the Mar
Guis OF LansdOwne. Secretary of State
for War and the Hon John Jos Cham
berlain, Secretary of State for the Col
Onies. all promised that the proposal
should have their careful attention.
In this connection the Globe this
afternoon says that the British Empire
may be truly said 20 be on It's trial.
The anomaly of the present position
has forced the question whether the re-
suit Is satisfactory and whether we can
go on much longer without a radical
change None of our colonies, the
Globe says. can regard themselves safe
from hostile attacks In the case Of
war between England and America,
Canada might be expected 70 be in
vaded and self-prCtectiOn OF any of the
colonies against any one OF the great
powers is so manifestly out of the
question that the colonies would be
thrown back upon the Imperial navy.
Colonial governments. the Globe adds,
do not hesitate even now 20 claim
the services OF the Queens ships
whenever they are needed. IL seems
incredible The Globe concludes, that
that there should be any doubt as to
the obligations of the Colonial taXpay-
ers.
