THE COLONIAL OFFICE,
INITIAL" STEPS IN SCHEME OF REORGANISATION.
DATE OF DEFINITE DIVISION,
The Earl of Crowe's bint at the Royal Colonial Institute banquet to Sir George Reid that it is one of the probabilities of the future that the Colonial Office would be divided into two sections, one dealing with the self-govern ing dominions, the other with the Crow colonies, has naturally aroused a great deal of interest in colonial circles in London. At the time of the last Imperial Conference, a strong case was put forward for this reform, it being urged that the methods of dealing with Crown colonies and with self-governing dominions wars so entirely different that it; was unwise to have them under the one department. A [Įteutusive suggestion was then made that there should be as Imperial 'department and a Colonial Department of State.
We are, says a' London journal, in a position to state that Lord Crewe's speech, though Sigh our Fim pos Procoration from it did not make a definite announcement, represented a statement of policy which has RADECKER & CO.
1339 passed the stage of discussion and has. been actually decided upon. Probably by the date of the next Imperial Conference the division of Colonial Department into two sections will be made, if the prosent Liberal- Government is io power, sad jast as certainly it Uatonist Government has succeeded it, for the Unionist Party is in full sympathy with the uspirations of the new Imperialism, and with the desire of the self-governing dominions to accentuate the fact that their bood to the Empire is a family oan of affection taider than the reluctant obedience of subjection..

Sir Fleetwood Wilson, in the course of tin Financial Statement, remarked that be belloved Rs.1,750 to be a reasonably safe as sumption of the average price. For the year which has just begun, Sir Sarroca David put the rate at Rs. 2,000. At the first sale on the 5th iäst. 3,300 chests roalized an average price of Sgura of the expert and the figure actually Rs. 3,826. The great differencs between the
obtained is some excuse for Sir Fleetwood Wilsoo. Sir Sassoon David, points out that as a result of the large difference between the Government estimate and the sale price there will be a surplus of sixty-eight lakhs, fifty
odd thousand rupeat for one month's sales at which fate the Government will realise a surplus of over-eight crores of rupees on the year. This of course assumes that the high price will be maintained. This will no doubt depend to a great extent upon how, lar" the Chinese Government carry out thair sestric tions of opium cultivation in China. From recent news of violent opposition în parts of Chion to the attempts to stop cultivation it is evident that the Chinese Government have od easy task before them. His own "opium does not satisfy the wants' of the Chinaman so well as does the Indian produ_t, which is a pointio "favour of the pressat high price being maintain- ed, whatever cultivation may take place in China. At the same time it is safe to assume that if the Chinese Government do not fulfil their share of the bargain, the price of Indiao opium will fall,—Englishman.

An interesting proof of the general accept ance of the tenets of the new 'Imperialism is the fact that the Colonial Office in dividing up its work, as, it has been doing since the last Imperial Conference, into self-governing Crown colony sections, has assigned to the

As a matter of fact, the hiring of rabas by the emminant gentlemen in the House of Lords for State occasions is far more prevalent than is generally known which, after all, is by far the most economical method of procedure, for practically the only occasion on which peers put on their symbols is as a State Coronation of the Sovereiga, or when they wish to have their portrait taken in their robes, which is, ol
course, not a necessity.
