نسخة من كلمة بعنوان "الإمبراطورية ومسؤولياتها" ألقاها لويس بيلي في نادي هامستيد الدستوري بتاريخ ٦ أبريل ١٨٩٢ [و‎‎٣] (٤٠/٥)

such a plenitude of subjects to speak about, and that
every topic has been talked to shreds.
Well, the Lord deliver me from saying a word to you
about Ireland, the County Council, or such-like.
Dtuming to Imperial interests, we all remember
that the Earl of Rosebery recently made a very brilliant
speech at the City Liberal Club; and on that occasion he
used the following words:
"We have been pulled out of Europe by the great
Empire which has been growing up outside these
islands during the last 40 years, while we have
been almost sitting still with folded hands and
watching its growth* • • , I think you can divide
the foreign policy of this Empire into the East-
em and Western questions, and they are the
questions of India and Canada. . . We must
recognize that our foreign policy has become a
colonial policy, and is in reality at this moment
much more dictated from the extremities of the
Empire than it is from London itself."
