EMPIRE’S ECONOMIC UNITY
AN URGENT PROBLEM. SIR ALFRED MOND’S VIEWS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, November li. (Received November 12, at 1.30 a mi.) “Surely a race which has performed miracles of organisation in time of war is able to organise the Empire as an economic unit,” said Sir Alfred Mond, addressing the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. “ The problem is urgent if the Empire is going to continue. Hie world is tending to group American and European economic complexes. If Britain joins a European Customs Union Canada is likely to likely to join tho American complex, and Australia is equally likely to participate in tho Pacific Ocean complex, resulting in the destruction of the Empire’s fabric, which has taken centuries to build up.” . . , The Empires economic unity, declared Sir Alfred Mond, depended upon the exchange of British manufactures for the overseas Empire’s raw materials.
