LABOUR IDEALS OF EMPIRE TRADE
Mr. Stephen Walsh, M.P., chairman of the Workmen's Section of tho English Conciliation Board, speaking recently at Wigan, said the time would como, and he hoped soon, when we should havo in London a great Imperial Council, in which all the peoples under the British flag would take their part and do their share in making the British people the greatest and, in tlio truo sense, the proudest race the world had ever known., Aftor the horrible facts which the last two years had given us, surely it was the lesson of common 6ense to develop our own resources in our own land. Why should we always make ourselves the dustheap and dunghill of the whole world? There were a thousand and one things which wo could I just as well produce in our own land or in the Dominions affiliated with us I instead of being dependent upon the l'oreignor.
