We undertake from the oppressive taxation of our people practically the whole burthen of the defence of the Colonies. Mr. Chamberlain stated to the Conference last year that " the charge of our military and naval expenditure amounted to 295. 3^. Per head of the population of the United Kingdom, and in the self-governing Colonies it amounted to sums varying from 2s. To 35. $d. He asked whether that was a fair distribution of the burthen of empire. Could it be expected that the United Kingdom cou...ld for all time make this inordinate sacrifice ? It is owing to its duties and obliga- tions to its Colonies throughout the Empire, it is owing to its trade with the Colonies a trade in which they, of course, are equally interested with ourselves that the necessity has been cast upon us to make these enormous preparations. " As the result of the Conference certain small con- tributions were agreed to, amounting in the whole to a sum which did not greatly alter the enormous disproportion of burthen as between the Mother Country and the Colonies.
