JHAP. VII] THE CIVIL SERVICE 353 ander the old régime need not further be considered ; it is recorded in The Government of South Africa. The rules regarding political action by civil servants differ greatly. In Canada there are many cases of political action both in province and Dominion, and every now and then retribution in the shape of dismissals.! In the Common- wealth the rules have varied with varying Ministries, and in New South Wales, after the Wade Ministry rigidly limited political action, the Premier in the new Government in 1910 at once asserted the right of civil servants to full political action. In Queensland? also a resolution to this effect marked the close of the session of 1910. In South Australia the Labour Government is in favour of political propaganda by civil servants. In Victoria, Tasmania, and Western Australia there are more stringent rules, at any rate in theory. In New Zealand civil servants are in effect apparently free from restraint. Tt is as yet impossible to attribute to the Dominion Civil Services the importance which attaches to the Imperial Civil Service, but the trend of events and the growth of the Dominions will, it may be presumed, ultimately render the Civil Service more and more worth the attention of the best sducated classes of the community. { There were some in 1905 on the defeat of the Ross Government in Ontario, and a good many dismissals when the Liberal Government took office in the Dominion in 1896; see Canadian Annual Review, 1905, pp. 283, 284. But in the latter case at least there had been at the last moment many party appointments; see above, pp. 213-20. * Parliamentary Debates, 1910, pp. 3122, 3210. See o. o. Lowell's account in The Qovernment of England. "70
