Excerpt from The Nation and the Empire: Being a Collection of Speeches and Addresses Do not let me be thought to suggest that Imperial affairs are necessarily of greater dignity and importance than local affairs, or that a man is better employed in con cerning himself with the former rather than with the latter. The word Imperial has an imposing sound, but not every question properly so described is necessarily Of the first importance. And on the other hand there may be local controversies, in any part of the Empire, which are of supreme moment to the welfare of that part, and even of the whole. I have no idea Of extolling interest in the one, or depreciating interest in the other. The point is, that Imperial and local affairs are different in Character, and that the same men are not generally, or Often, equally well qualified, by inclination and experience, to deal with both. A system, which makes successful activity in the one sphere the only avenue to in uence in the other, involves enormous waste.
