Excerpt from The University Magazine, 1911, Vol. 10
But if aggression has not been the policy of the British government in the past, far less is it its policy to-day. The imputation to it of a desire for expansion as the outcome of a war of conquest is patently absurd. Other powers may cherish the idea, because they are cramped for the room in which to expand, but the Empire has far too much to do to hold and people its own territories to think about further expansion. Moreover, such a policy is contrary to the whole spirit of British institutions and of the British people. The underlying idea of British foreign policy is, and always has been, to preserve the complete freedom of the Empire.
