IDEALS OF EMPIRE
CENTENARY OF STATESMAN BRITISH CAMPAIGN PLANNED LONDON, Jnly 12 In connection with the Joseph Chamberlain centenary this year, a great campaign will start in the autumn throughout Britain to carry out his ideals for the Empire. Sir Henry Page-Croft, a prominent Conservative M.P. and chairman of a committee organising the campaign, said a strong panel of speakers will address meetings in the big cities. They will deal with outstanding Imperial questions, including trade, shipping and migration, with a view to impressing the country with the imperativeness of Imperial co-operation before the Imperial Conference in 1937. "If foreigners, using subsidies, have driven British ships off the seas, we must use counter-measures," said Sir Henry. "We must also urge British finance to assist in the expansion of overseas industry and agriculture, which will enable migration. "The Dominions should be encouraged to adopt common defence measures, especially in regard to contributions to air forces, which might prove the greatest deterrent against aggression."
