Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Round Table, Vol. 1: A Quarterly Review of the Politics of the British Empire It is a common complaint, both in Great Britain and in the Dominions, that it is well-nigh impossible to understand how things are going with the British Empire. People feel that they belong to an organism which is greater than the particular portion of the King´s dominions where they happen to reside, which is one of the greatest of human fabrics, but which has no government, no Parliament, no press even, to explain to them where its interests lie, or what its policy should be. Of speeches and writings about the Empire there is no end. But who has time to select what is worth reading from the multitude of newspapers and reviews? Most people have no access to the best among them, and such as have are haunted by the fear that what they read is coloured by some local party issue in which they have no concern. No one can travel through the Empire without being profoundly impressed by the ignorance which prevails in every part, not only about the affairs of the other parts, but about the fortunes of the whole. This ignorance naturally leads to misgivings, and people are frequently involved in disputes and controversies about the Empire which in most cases would immediately be solved if the facts were known. The truth, of course, is that all who have grown up under the Union Jack are in their hearts devoted to it, for it stands to them for a great tradition in the past, a great inspiration in the present - as the writer in India shows - and a still greater promise in the future. There is no British subject who has not subscribed in some way to the cost of keeping it flying in the heavens, and who does not cherish the memory of some friend or some hero of his own who has died for it. But many associate imperialism with the project of jingoes and capitalists, and object to it, just because they admire the ideals of liberty, and justice, and personal responsibility upon which the Empire rests, and which such projects would destroy.
