CHAP. III] THE CONFERENCE OF 1911 1497 should be supplemented by at least one Australian, one Canadian, and one South African judge. Mr. Deakin also urged that the powers of the Conference should be increased, and it should cease to be merely advisory. The needs and emergencies of the Empire were growing and made every year greater demands for Imperial action and often for united action by all the oversea Dominions. That united action was only to be obtained when, instead of a Conference separated by breaks of four years, continuity in character were given to its policy by providing means of keeping up the work, following up its suggestions, and giving effect to its resolutions. By that means only could the Conference be vested with the power that rightly belonged to it, making it a thoroughly Imperial body representative of the British race in every part of the world, without trenching on the local Governments of the Dominions or on the sphere of the British Government. It was by means of an Imperial Conference and no other way that the people over seas could obtain a voice in Imperial affairs, which were their own affairs, as they were affected by interests or actions within or without the Empire. By means of the Conference Australia had now some voice in the Councils of the Empire. Every grant of power or influence through the Conference was a gain of status. He remembered the time when there was no distinc- tion between self-governing and Crown Colonies, when the self-governing Colonies were not expected to possess diffi- culties or problems which could not be settled by the Colonial Office. He hoped that ministers would attach the greatest importance to the proposition that the self-governing Colonies should not remain associated in the same department or with the same officials as the Crown Colonies! These Colonies were under control and subject to advice and dictation which self-governing Dominions could not receive, except in another fashion, of whose acceptance they must be the ultimate judges. The Conference and the affairs under it should be entirely independent of the Crown Colonies Depart- L As will be seen from Parl, Pap., Cd. 3795, the desired separation was affected in 1907 by Lord Elgin, but Mr. Deakin disliked it, Cd. 5273, pp. 4, 6.
