The necessary power to do so was conferred by the Naval Establishments in British Possessions Act, 1909, and the Order in Council for Halifax is dated October 23, 1910, that for Esquimalt, May 4, 1911. A change in the position of affairs is seen clearly by the tact that Imperial forces were employed in 1870 for the sup- pression of the Red River revolt, and that the more serious North-western Rebellion of 1885 was suppressed by the militia forces of Canada. Canada, like the Australasian Dominions, has a small permanent force and a considerable militia body, governed by Revised Statutes, 1906, cc. 41-3, and service in time of war is compulsory on the male population.

In this case! the situation was greatly complicated by the fact that Sir George Grey, the last Governor who exercised a striking personal influence over public affairs in the Colony, was anxious to carry out in great measure, as he had done during his first Governorship in New Zealand and during his Governorship in South Africa, an independent policy, and thus he was brought into conflict not only, as in South Africa, with the Imperial Government, but also with his ministers. His Ministry, again, were hampered by the strong feeling which evidently existed among many people in New Zealand, that it was undesirable to adopt an attitude ' Cf.
