Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of citizenship within the vast and diverse British Commonwealth. Through historical analysis and contemporary surveys of its various member states, the author explores the challenges and opportunities presented by this unique political structure. The text examines the evolution of the Commonwealth, tracing its roots and highlighting the historical forces that shaped its present form. It then meticulously dissects the internal dynamics of each member state, including both self-governing and dependent territories, revealing their strengths and weaknesses. This comprehensive approach acknowledges the crucial role played by all members, regardless of their size or level of autonomy, in shaping the Commonwealth's future. The book grapples with the fundamental question of what it truly means to be a citizen of this sprawling entity. It dissects various potential paths forward, including maintaining the status quo, pursuing independence, embracing voluntary cooperation, and forging a more organic union. By rigorously analyzing each option, the author encourages readers to critically examine their own conceptions of citizenship and their vision for the Commonwealth's future. Ultimately, this book provides invaluable insights into the intricate tapestry of the British Commonwealth, prompting readers to engage in a meaningful dialogue about its future and their place within it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …

The President. M r. Mason, having opened the meeting, the General Secretary said.
It is not far from three years since the senior Canadian Round Table group was formed here in Toronto, and this is the first opportunity I have had of returning to report to you upon the progress made in our work. In the meantime, the senior group has, on its own initiative, called into existence six junior groups in Toronto and, as I am meeting many of you for the first time, I propose, in reporting on the progress of the inquiry, to explain shortly how it first came to be undertaken. It had its origin, as I think most of you know, in the disturbed conditions of South Africa. It is needless to enter here upon the causes which led to the South African war. For our present purpose it is sufficient to re mind you that before it had been in progress many months, reverses had been sustained which changed the whole character of the struggle. It was no longer the rights of the Uitlanders in the Transvaal, but the existence of the Empire itself, which was seen to be threatened. In all parts of the Empire there were those who felt that to secure the safety of this world-wide Commonwealth was the supreme duty laid upon themselves; and to acquit themselves of that duty, men enlisted in thousands to fight side by side with their fellow-citizens in South Africa. After the war many of them re mained to take part in the work of recon stituting the new territories of the Transvaalaud the Urange Free State as integral parts of the Empire.
In 1906, the British Government announced their intention of granting responsible govern ment to both these colonies, but some of us who had remained there had studied the situation sufficiently to know that self-government was not really conferred on South Africa by estab liebing, in the Transvaal and the Free State, governments modelled after the iattern of those already existing in the Cape Colony and Natal.
