Polit- ical centralization, the establisliment of some central parhament or imperial council or cabinet, was urged persistently. Military centralization, the contribution by the colonies of men and money for imperial fleets and armies, at the disposal of the British government or some new joint authority, was another path to the same goal. Economic centralization, the cementing of the Empire by trade and tariff privileges, found less universal but more aggressive support. It was Wilfrid Laurier...'s fortune to hold a strategic and determining post in the settlement of this issue. As the prime minister of the colony to which popula- tion, prosperity, central position and priority in the working out of responsible government gave pre- eminence, as the senior and seemingly permanent prime minister of the Empire, outruling the Salisburys, Bal- fours, Campbell-Bannermans, the Chamberlains, the Bartons, Deakins, Watsons, the Seddons and the Jamesons, he held a unique place in imperial counsel.
