FIFTY YEARS AGO
FOREIGN AFFAIRS POLICY A movement was afoot in England 50 years ago to give the colonies a share in the handling of foreign affairs, especially in those matters relating to the Pacific. The following is an extract from the New Zealand Hehald of October 15, 1888: "Lord Rosebery, in his speech at Leeds, expressed the opinion that the colonies ought to be allowed a much larger voice in foreign affairs, even if it entailed a sacrifice on the part of England. The colonial should supersedo the foreign policy. Australia, he said, must be paramount in the Foreign Office as regards the Pacific question, although it would diminish insular freedom."
