AN ECONOMIC UNIT.
—• — URGENT EMPIRE PROBLEM. SIR ALFRED MOND'S OPINION. 'BT CABLE—PSB6S ASSOCIATION—COriBIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND JT.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received November 11th, 5.20 p.m.) LONDON, November 10. "Surely the race which has performed miracles of organisation in the time of war is able to organise the Empire as an economic unit," said Sir Alfred Mond when addressing the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. "The problem is urgent if the Empire is going to continue. The world is tending to group American and European economic complexes. If Britain joins the European Customs Union, Canada is likely to join the American complex. Australia is equally likely to participate in the Pacific Ocean complex, resulting in the destruction Of the Empire's fabric which has taken centuries to build up." The Empire's economic unity, declared Sir Alfred Mond, depended upon the exchange of British manufacturers for overseas Empire raw materials.
