BRITAIN’S INFLUENCE
“I should like to see the power and position of our country used to launch the world out into a new conception of international relations, where the governments would determine their foreign policies with a view to world economic co-operation. Such a proposition coming from a great imperialist power like our own would, I believe, go some way towlards removing the war-mindedness of the people of the world. It is not possible for any British Government to compel acceptance of such an objective by other Governments, but it is a policy of despair to discount too heavily the effect of such a lead honestly given. The proposal must be sincerely meant and the implications of it must be fully realised. If competition is to be eliminated as the basis of internatibnal economic relations, it is impossible for this or any other country to retain its imperialist conquests and privileges.”—Sir Stafford Cripps.
