Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada, Vol. 10: Publications of the Year 1905 Sir Frederick Pollock has since his return re-stated his scheme in the light of his experience on his recent visit, in the Nineteenth Century for December. He evidently thinks Canadian opinion not adverse so long as it is recognized that the end in view is not any compulsory Imperial jurisdiction, but only full and free consultation, and better machinery for arriving at a sound conclusion. The amount of official sanction the scheme has in England is indicated by the fact that in April last Mr. Lyttleton sought, in a despatch, the opinion of various self-governing colonies upon the question of elevating the Colonial Conference into a piece of regular constitutional machinery, and the creation of an Imperial Intelligence Department. The Dominion Government, it seems, intimated a preference for the word "Conference" rather than "Council," and are a little afraid of the idea of a permanent Intelligence Department as "conceivably interfering with the working of popular government." Finally they have suggested that the whole question should be left over for the consideration of the next Colonial Conference. Meanwhile valuable work has been suggested for the Intelligence Department, if we ever get one, by Mr. Geoffrey Drage, who accompanied Sir Frederick Pollock to Canada, in the Fortnightly Review for December, as, generally, to receive ideas, and co-ordinate opinions upon matters of high Imperial policy, to disseminate authoritative information on Imperial questions, including commercial relations between the colonies, and, specifically, to bring about the unification of the patent, insolvency, and possibly labour laws throughout the Empire, the constitution of a new Supreme Court of Appeal, and the promotion of organized communication within the Empire. Finally we may refer, in this connection, to a most notable book by M. H. Speyer, the Belgian jurist, which contains what is probably the best general survey in print of the whole subject of Imperial federation.
