Excerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, 1916, Vol. 29 WE are all unhappily only too familiar With the subject of my observations. This will exempt me from troubling my readers with too many details. I will, therefore, plunge in medias res, and I am quite sure they will understand Why I adopt this method of treatment. The Germans could have gone from their own country directly into France, but not so easily, they thought, as through Belgium. Consequently they made Belgium the door-mat for the German jack-boots, desolated that fair land, laying waste its countryside, burning its towns and villages, Slaying men, women, and children, and destroying the finest treasures of art and architecture. There is nothing more Wicked and Shameless in all the Records of War. Nor is there anything more heroic than the magnificent, though unequal, resistance of the Belgian King and the Belgian people.

Excerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, Vol. 28: August, 1914 The Servian Government sent their reply without delay. They accepted unreservedly the first eight demands, the ninth they accepted subject to proof, but the tenth was practically rejected, while the eleventh was only accepted subject to certain conditions. To the reply Note was attached a further statement to the effect that if austria-hungary was not satisfied with the answer the Servian Government proposed arbitration or mediation.

Excerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, Vol. 32: February, 1918 For the second time in the space of a little more than twelve months Australia has been plunged in the maelstrom Of con scription. Again, the Commonwealth has pronounced against the issue, and on this occasion the negative vote has been substantially increased. The size of the adverse majority is surprising. To the Government it must have been an intense disappointment, for it can scarcely be supposed that the Ministry would have embarked on another campaign unless they were fortified with reasonable prospects of a favourable result. If it is to be interpreted as a pronouncement that the Commonwealth is war-weary, it is a deep humiliation to every Australian as well as every well wisher of that young country. Again, this announcement came at a juncture when the Entente Powers were suffering from the effect of the military stagnation of the Russians, and had not yet recovered from the unfortunate recent developments in Italy. The news may well have been a cause of irritation to the British Government. If sharp criticism had been directed against the Commonwealth, Australians could hardly have complained; but little has been said by the press or public men. Everybody regrets the circum stances, but nothing savouring of reproach or bitterness has been heard; and I, in common with many other Australians, feel the deepest gratitude to the people in this country for the generous manner in which they have viewed the recurrence of this unpleasant episode in our national life.

Excerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, 1920, Vol. 34 The fantastic elements of the advanced Labour programme were admirably illustrated in the election address of the Labour candidate for Spen Valley. His proposals for Ireland and India would certainly lead to the Separation of both these countries from the Empire. But his economic ideals were even more remarkable. He would nationalise the mines and the railways, insist on the Government spending at least 200 millions on housing, and would make the State responsible for the main tenance Of every child during its period Of education. He would have the land for the people, mothers' pensions, larger increases in Old Age pensions and other costly proposals, which in the aggregate would demand an expenditure of several thousands of millions Of pounds. He would raise this sum and pay Off the National Debt at once by a levy on capital, a proposition economically impossible. All this hazy magniloquence is due to the venerable fable that there is a bottomless reservoir Of Government money and Capital from'which the wildest schemes and the most comprehensive reforms can be financed. To get into Parliament on such a programme is to Obtain votes by false pretences. Such fantasies should be ruthlessly exposed and analysed by all who have the Opportunity Of doing so.

Excerpt from The Empire Review and Magazine, 1913, Vol. 25 IT is scarcely necessary in these days for a British writer living outside the confines of the United Kingdom to apologise for Offering any comment on the course Of Imperial foreign policy. The submarine cable, and, in each great oversea dominion, an enterprising and well-informed press, have brought Within the reach of the intelligent citizen of Melbourne or Montreal the same materials for forming fairly sound opinions concerning the actions Of the Home Government outside the sphere Of domestic affairs as are at the disposal of the dweller in London. In one sense, indeed, the more distant critic enjoys a distinct advantage over his fellows at home. He is removed from the distractions of local controversies. He stands outside the political melee, and can Observe the progress of events With the calmness arising from complete detachment. But in the general conduct of British foreign policy he takes a strong and lively interest. He desires to see the Empire maintained united, strong and free. He knows division at home must mean weakness and weakness invites attack and renders it irresistible. He knows, also, that any policy pursued towards foreign nations as a Whole, or towards a Single Power or group of Powers, Which is either actively or passively provocative, must in the end prove calamitous to the Empire of which he is so proud.

Excerpt from The Empire Review and Magazine, Vol. 17: February, 1909 Let me now pass to the more permanent causes of unemploy ment. Every year sees new improvements in machinery. Work that occupied the labour of a hundred hands not long ago, and these hands mostly men, is now performed by a third of that number, and in many cases the reduction is lower still. To mention only a few of the great labour-saving machines used in every class of factory work would take more Space than I have at my disposal, while in agriculture the labour-saving machines introduced during the last ten years have tended further to lessen employment in that direction. To those misguided people who imagine that the farmers are looking out for labourers, and that the millennium is going to come by training men to go on the land in this country, I would point out that the Board of Trade Gazette in a recent number, referring to agricultural labour, says, there was but little or no interruption of agricultural employment. The demand for extra labour was fairly good, but it was generally fully met by the supply. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
