COLONIAL EMPIRE
— WORK OF THE MARKETING BOARD GREAT & HOPEFUL ENTERPRISE. PROCEEDING IN SPITE OF WAR. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, December 9. It is encouraging to see that the war has not interrupted the carrying out of the policy of the Colonial Empire Marketing Board, which has just published a popular study of "one of the greatest and on the whole most hopeful enterprises of the twentieth century—the development of the vast unworked territories under the leadership of Great Britain." The publication of this volume marks the completion of one of the earliest projects of the Colonial Empire Marketing Board. This study is chiefly concerned to familiarise the British citizen with the immense colonial Empire, comprising some 60.000.000 souls and extending over 2,300,000 square miles. The magnificent response in money and material, which inhabitants of this Empire voluntarily subscribed to the Mother Country in time of her need, and which has been so warmly appreciated here, will givo the British citizen added interest better to acquaint. himself with the activities, prospects and conditions of his fellow but remoter British subjects.
