The fact that it is to be secogalset, is one of superlative impo tanca not only to the Crown Colonists of Sing spore or the East, bot to similar communities in all parts of the world.
This position, It is almost unnecessary to remind the Inhabitants of Singapore, has not heen galeed without a great deal of hard work. Year after year the Colonial Office has been msuolled in letters and despatches by depolations, Indignation meetings, and greations in Parlis. ment, antli at last the official patience has given way under the strain and the Colonial Office seems to respond with alzerly to the suggestion that the percentage principle willsmoothe the path of the future. Unfortunate as this struggle has been, I suppose everyone is prepared to recognise Its necessity. By the pecullarity—you may call it defect or weskaers—of Its constitution a Crown Colony can find noremedy for a grievance but by badgering the Colonial Office. A friend of the Colony may protest in Parlament, ba unless his pro'est is bicked by a recommenda. tion from that department which is supposed to extend a paternal care to English settlers in all arts of the world, the House fe which it is made and the Mini der to whom it is addressed are apt to turn a desfear to the story of Colonial woes. It is essential that the Colonial Office should make some rec^mmendation beľné the Ministers can act. In on case can it make that recommendation unless it is appealed to by the Colonists in some craes it wil no: move unists I is worried.

Amongst all those who have studied the question of Imperial defence even in the most superficial manner there is a universal conviction that the Colonies generally do not contribute a fair share of the costs and all such would welcome the inquiry suggested by Mr. Henniker Heaton at which could be discussed broadly the smount which each part of the British Empire ought to con- tribute towards the maintenance of the Army and Navy.

already by the report, sept last week, of the anouncement made by Mr. Baxton in the House of Commons on March 26th, and w have bear no doubt with satisfaction that the Colesial Office is laclined to meet the proposal put forward by the Strafta Association here that the Colony shall pay a proportion of its ravens 1stead of a fixed sum as a military contribution. It may be that the exact terms suggested by the départmental committee will be made known and communicated to the Straits Seitlements by telegram before this letter raches the Colony, and accordingly it would be idle to speculate upon them. For the present it suffices to state that. Mr. Baston is prepaced to accept the principle of the percentage in order that the Colonial Office may escape "thase perpetual wrangles" which have been the principal feature of the relations between the Colony and the Home Government during recent years. It may be said therefore that the battle of the Military Contisbu lon to half won and that so far it has ended in a victory for the Crown Cofonlete. The julaciple of geoportion inosend.
