Imperial Unity.
LONDON, April Gth. Sir Joseph Ward, addressing the Imperial Mission section of the Tariff Reform League, on “The Premotion of Imperial Unity.” suggested Imperial co-ordination to relieve Britain of a portion of the burden of war taxation. He hoped that all the Dominions would co-operate after the war with that obwar,, and the Dominions would coject in view. The war was an Empire war, and the Dominions were concerned equally with Britain. All the war loans should be pooled when the money price falls in order to obtain the lowest interest. The Chancellor should not hesitate to approach the Dominions in this connection. . Sir Joseph Ward added that in the future reconstruction of the Empire, India’s position must be recognised. Some system must be devised to ensure India more adequate participation in Imperial affairs. The Empire's future required the recognition of India as part and parcel of the Empire. She would enter into the Empire’s Councils.
