THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES

Dominions, Okcaxisk ! J lie Dominions great countries, where men of our own stock can work and live, are to-day supporting a mere irnetion of the population for "‘hicli they will ultimately have room. The tropical colonies, upon which the industrial areas of the Empire tire becoming more and more dependent, have barely commenced what is destined to be an amazing career of economic development. The Empire is thus merely on the threshold of its material greatness. While many of the markets of the older areas of the world have reached, or even passed, their zenith, the markets of Empire are young and growing. If our own business men did not realise this, those of onr foreign competitors most certainly would, and I, therefore, welcome every sign of interest taken within the Empire in inter-imperial trade.
