NEW VIEW OF EMPIRE
A SINGLE CONFEDERATION SIMILAR INTERESTS OF ALL PARTS (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) London, November 24. Following up Mr. Baldwin’s lead, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, at a meeting of the Junior Imperial League in London, said: “We have got to take a new view of the Empire. Of the countries of the Empire, whether Dominions, Dependencies, or Colonies, all speak our language and acknowledge our King, but hitherto we have never begun to think of the Empire as one single confederation in which the Interests of each are the interests of all.” He concluded by, asking: “Is it not evident that if united in one policy, we have within the Empire the men, resources, and spaces necessary to supply the needs of all?” The “Observer” says that Mr. Baldwin does not embrace the whole theory of Free Trade within the Empire, but pledges the party to work for freer trade.
