this day at noon.) LONDON, November 14
In announcing the formation of the Empire Economic Union a representative group of nuLiStrialists, mcL.d.ng Lord Melehett, Sirs Austin hirst, Morgan, Jjrittam, and McGovern, there is issued a manifesto urging c.oser Empire economic co-operation in order to secure a rapid de\elopment of the Empire’s agricultural, mineral, and manufacturing resources. The signatories suggest the nations of the Empire must either combine as an economic unit or accept absolution in other groups, Britain entering the European group and the Dominions entering the American economic orbit.
The manifesto u.ges that if the ideal of a free interchange of Empire products cannot at present be realised they should get as near as possible, modifying whatever is vexatious ,in fiscal trading systems. It apeals to the political world for an amnesty in past controversies, leaving the Imperial Economic Conference free to do their best for the Empire,
