Description:Excerpt from The Colonial Conference: The Cobden Club's Reply to the Preferential ProposalsImperial Federation on a Free Trade basis, con ducted by an Imperial Council, which later on might grow into a Federal Parliament, was the conception which dominated Mr. Chamberlain's mind at the Colonial Conference of 1897. Such a Council, even in its earlier and merely consultative days, would be come an organ of authoritative advice in Imperial con cerns, and, in particular, an instrument for the preparation of a scheme of voluntary contribution to the cost of Imperial defence from the self-governing Colonies.The Secretary for the Colonies was, however, a good deal in advance of the sentiments of the Premiers attending the first Conference of 1897. They were not able to accede either to the political or the commercial project, and upon both issues confined themselves to resolutions of a purely general character. Instead of adopting the proposal of an Imperial Council, they merely passed a resolution to the effect that The Premiers are of opinion that it would be desirable to hold periodically Conferences of representatives of the Colonies and Great Britain for the discussion of matters of common interest. On the question of Commercial Union they contented themselves with passing two resolutions, one urging the early denuncia tion of any treaties which hampered the commercial relations between Great Britain and the Colonies, the other undertaking to confer with their colleagues with a view to considering whether a preference might not be given by the several Colonies to the products of the United Kingdomfi'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
