Excerpt from Cosmos and Commonwealth: A Discussion of Australian and International Problems In the past it has always been easy to direct Australian affairs from the city of London, and it has been, and still is, the policy of London (which exclusively supplies our foreign news) to exaggerate its own importance as the hub of the Universe and belittle or malign other countries, lest the colonial mind should be unduly impressed by their progress. There is an old story of an Indian Rajah who was brought practically a prisoner to London that his loyalty might feed on its wonders, but was not permitted to land on the European continent, lest he might be astounded by the magnitude of the non-english world. But in the ripeness of time, and with the wonderful development of countries beyond the sphere of English civilisation, there have arisen conditions which threaten to alter the present status of great sparsely peopled colonial territories like our own country-conditions which compel the erewhile thoughtless Australian to take to himself more thought and to realise higher responsibilities. For the nations of Europe - and some outside of Europes - have grown great and powerful; they have, like the men of old, gone down to the sea in ships, and come to realise the benefits of sea power, trade, and colonisation; they have mastered the science of shipbuilding and the arts of seamanship and navigation in the highest degree of proficiency, and the resources of England have been taxed to the utmost to keep pace with their maritime progress.
