Vast Colonies

SUPPORT FOR BRITAIN IN TIME OF NEED.

It is encouraging to see that the war has not interrupted the carrying out of the policy of the Colonial Empire Marketing Board, which has just published a popular study of "one of the greatest and, on the whole, the most hopeful of the enterprises of the 20th century —the development of vast unworked territories under the leadership of Great Britain."

The publication of this volume marks the. completion of one of the earliest projects of the Colonial Empire Marketing Board. This study is chiefly concerned with familiarising the British citizen with the immense colonial Empire, comprising some 60,000,000 souls and extending over 2,300,000 square miles.
