Which statement best compares and contrasts the conclusions of these passages?
Read the excerpt from "I Believe in a British Empire"
by Joseph Chamberlain.
I believe in a British Empire, in an Empire which,
though it should be its first duty to cultivate friendship
with all the nations of the world, should yet, even if
alone, be self-sustaining and self-sufficient, able to
maintain itself against the competition of all its rivals.
And I do not believe in a Little England which shall be
separated from all those to whom it would in the
natural course look for support and affection, a Little
England which would then be dependent absolutely
on the mercy of those who envy its present prosperity,
and who have shown they are ready to do all in their
power to prevent its future union with the British races
throughout the world.
