RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT [PART I making the Colonies pay for their own defence had been adopted elsewhere and should be applied to the Cape, nor could the financial difficulties of the Cape be regarded as excusing the payment for their own defence. It was therefore intended at once to diminish the forces in the Cape to three battalions and to support them for the year 1867 free of charge. In 1868 two battalions only would be supported free of cost, and for the third the Colony must be willing to pay at the Australian rate of £40 a man. In 1869 one battalion only would be supplied without charge; in 1870 all soldiers must be paid for, and in 1871-2 the full rates of £40 for an infantryman and £70 for an artilleryman would be payable, and the whole arrangement would be recon- sidered after 1872. The terms offered were recommended for acceptance with a distinct intimation that they were the best which would be accorded. Sir P. Wodehouse replied on J uly 16, 1867.1 He forwarded resolutions from the whole House of Parliament, in which they protested against the withdrawal on the ground that the policy of the Government was not within their control, and that the measures taken by the Government were the cause of the military dangers from the natives which rendered necessary the maintenance of the troops. The Governor criticized the representations of the Legislature unfavourably, but he advanced other grounds for the retention of the troops at the Imperial expense. Responsible government was not really desired by the Colony, but the position of the Execu- tive Government under the present form of constitution was such that nothing could be weaker or more objectionable, and without Imperial troops no Governor not supported by a responsible ministry could regulate the affairs of the country at all. He referred to the difficulties existing between the two races in the Colony, and he declared that if the troops were to be entrusted to the dominant party in the Legislature the whole of the troops should be withdrawn, and not left to be disposed of by a Government which the Imperial Government could not in any way control. !
