“A common Empire policy on economic and trade questions presents serious difficulties. The constituent parts of the Empire do not form one economic unit. They are all in trade competition with each other. Canada and Australia, in particular, are aspiring to be manufacturing countries. Canada, if she is to live, must develop industrially, owing to her proximity to the United States. Her commercial interests with that great Republic are today greater than her trading interests with the British Empire. Australia, South Africa, and Great Britain are all in competition as growers of .vool Canada, Australia, South Africa, ana New Zealand compete in the fruit mar ket. These are competing interests b will be difficult to reconcile. It can only be done by an appreciation of Imperial unity, and by recognising that maximum benefit to each and all can be secured by* co-operation on the lines of a common Empire trade policy.”—Mr. Philin Snowden.
