It is the genius of Britons to obtain the Dost practical results from an ideal without sacrificing legitimate local needs and aspirations. We 'must create throughout Britain, faith in the Empire. It. is ot vital importance to our unity in ponce and war. Its resources and capacity for consumption, markets and development are so vast that we have onlytouched the fringe of them and it is impossible to say w.hat the limits would be,”
