Sinopsis

Excerpt from Problems of Colonization and the Science of Publicity in Empire Building

And why not? Is there any reason why a plan which has succeeded in Canada cannot be made a commercial success in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa? For the energies of one firm Canada, with its nine Provinces, affords ample scope. If this work is to be extended into an Imperial Series, the task must be taken up as a separate enterprise in each coun try by an enthusiast on the spot.

Publicity is only a part of a wider subject. Attention is drawn to the chapter headed A Neglected Science, which will give food for thought. And. I hope, result in something practical.

Excerpt from Problems of Colonization and the Science of Publicity in Empire Building

I know that many of you are thinking that this is a very wide subject to be covered in a short address of thirty minutes. It is true that colonization is a very wide subject. In one sense it may be taken to include the whole civilization of a new country, but I want to speak to you to-day about colonization in its narrower sense - the peopling of the land. Under this head come a number of subjects such as assisted immigration, the formation of colonies upon a racial, social or religious basis, ready-made farms, town planning, juvenile immigration, the gentleman colonist, the restriction of immigration, the movements of population, methods of publicity, etc. I am going to touch upon some of these heads, but before I do so, that you may more easily follow the drift of my argument, let me begin at the end and explain what I am driving at. I want to draw your attention to the fact that our opinions are half formed, the lessons which might be learnt from experience are not learnt, and the same mistakes are repeated over and over again. It is only natural that it should be so, for it stands to reason that we cannot make any satisfactory advance in thought, or in the methods of colonization, until the information which is necessary for this purpose is collected by experts ready for use by the men who do the practical work, and by those who have no time for study or research.

As a remedy for this state of things I want you to consider whether it would not be possible to form an Association, with a central office and a permanent staff. It will be the function of the Association to collect data, and to publish this in a series of standard pamphlets which would be revised from time to time, to conduct a Press Bulletin service confined to the subject in hand, and generally to act as an Information Bureau on all subjects pertaining to the methods of colonization.
