As far : Great Britain is concerned she has been mainly preoccupied during the nineteenth century with the development the self-governing colonies and India. But it seems inevitable that, in the twentieth century, the tropical colonies will constitute one of the chief regions of the supply of food and raw materials. and will prove to he some of the most valuable markets of the world.”
