Speaking after the Prince of Wales at the Mansion House dinner last night the Prime Minister (Mr. Baldwin) said the Industries- Failwas to-day a microcosm of Imperial trade. Year after year they wanted to see trade of all kinds grow and increase throughout the Dominions as at Home. He hoped that some day they would see the fair become the great annual market of the British Commonwealth of nations. The significance of the British Commonwealth of nations did not lie in the fact of so much of the map being painted red. but it lay in this—that over those vast expanses of the world witTi itmillions of races and hundreds of faiths and tongues there was peace and uo one dare break it.

He hoped the day would come in the world at large when, if two nations wanted to fight, there will be -oine Power which would say, "Move on."' There were to-day signs of mote stable conditions and better trade. They wanted stable condition*, stable currency and better trade in all countries of the world. There could be no such thing as a happy and prosperous trade in one country aloix?.
