MILITARY CONTRIBUTION,
(19th March.)
At the meeting of the Legislative Council at Singapore, on the 11th it, there was laid on the table a despatch from the Secretary of State having reference to the question of the Military Contribution in the Eartem Colonies. The paragraph in this connection reads "I have to inform you that, in view of the loss caused to the Colony by the diminution of the revenue from oplem I am in communication with the Lord Commitsioners of the Treasury with a view to the grant if possible of some Resist ince, from Imperial funds. I have also in- formed their Lordships that in my opinion the time has now come when the arrange ments with regard to the military contribu- tion should be reconsidered, and X bare

If our revenue is removed it matters little to this Colony whether it is transferred to the Military Contribution, or is thrown away, as, endangered. It is simply another illustration of might being right. If this Colony were in a position to order Mr. Lloyd George to forego half of bis annual revenue and get the rest just where he could, the parallel would be perfect if we could coerce the Imperial Government into that course. It is funny when you put it that way, naturally. Cut that is the effect of holding up the mirror to the Imperial Government.
