PRINCIPLES
OF THE
Imperial Federation League
IN CANADA.
Principles of the Imperial Federation League
AS Enunciated at a Preliminary Meeting
OF Those Favourable to the Formation of
A Branch of the League in Toronto, Held
ON December 22nd, 1887.
I. That to the end that the Mother Country
and the Colonies may remain perpetually under a
common sovereignty, a United Empire in its
foreign affairs, with constitutional liberty for every
part as regards internal adminstration, a readjust-
ment of the several constitutional authorities of
the Empire should, as occasion arises, be made
in such a manner as to increase the practical
efficiency of Imperial unity. '/K

2. That the Resolutions passed at the Con-
ference held in London, on the 29th July 1884,
and at the inaugural meeting of the League on the
1 8th November, 1884, ^^^ notably the following,
which meet with our hearty a.cceptance :
That, in order to secure the permanent unity of the Em-
pire, some form of federation is essential.
That no scheme of federation should interfere with the
existing rights of Local Parliaments as regards local affairs.
That any scheme of federation should combine, on an
equitable basis, the resources of the Empire for the main-
tenance of common interests, and adequately provide for an
organized defence of common rights.
3. That the objects of the league shall be to
promote the discussion of means whereby the
permanent unity of the Empire may be main-
tained, and its practical efficiency increased, to
further the development and interchange of the
resources of its various parts, and to resist any
measure tending to disintegration.
4. That the membership shall be open to
any British subject who accepts the principles of
ifie jL^'ea^ue<»

ship of the League in Canada, 50c ; Membership, (including
