' Dr. Parkin, tho organising representative of tho Rhodes Scholarship Trust, ad--Crossed tho members of tho Royal Colonial Instituto ou "True Imperialism." He said the fundamentals of true Imperialism aimed at the union of the various scattered communities, tho freo development of each community, while providing for united action in matters of common interest, sharing tho defence burden, and some method of giving tho contributory units some proportionate voico in tho Council of tho Nation.
