"It would appear to be blind folly and a criminal act not to make the greatest effort 'to see whether an economic unit cannot be created in which a larger vision of Empire replaces a narrower one, in which the development of any part of the Empire will be encouraged for the common good," writes Lord Melehett in "Imperial Economic Unity," now being published. Lord Melehett argues that Britain's adherence to the European economic unit would involve' the abandonment of an attempt to maintain the British Empire. His policy implies minimum tariff barriers within the Empire and protection against foreign countries. The object might be achieved by an Imperial tariff or each member of the Empire arranging its own tariffs or a combination ot: both.
