The Empire on the Anvil

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Empire on the Anvil: Being Suggestions and Data for the Future Government of the British Empire "In the creation of the British Empire design has been conspicuously absent, The process has followed the general laws of evolution. Here and there a great statesman may have marked and sought to guide the swift onward progress or may have pondered as to how the inevitable requirements of the future were to be met. Great wars have forcibly directed attention to the strategic importance of particular points, and have left their impress upon the national policy; but the lessons were not all applied, and the readjustments, which followed on long contests in which Great Britain played a leading part, do not always show either clear purpose or adequate foresight. The incentive to expansion appears to have been supplied mainly by commercial rivalry, impelling forward a race which cherishes a strong aversion to militarism. It is natural that questions of Imperial defence should have been neglected." With these words, written nineteen years ago, I prefaced an attempt to draw serious attention to the urgent need of the organisation of the Empire for the purposes of Imperial defence.
