Goldman,
1915.
The year 1915 was chosen, amongst many ther reasons, for the following:--
It is the year when the next quadrennial meeting of the Tuperial Conferenes takes place in London.
It is the your in which H.R... the Prince of Wales celebrates the twenty-first anniversary of his birthday.
It is the 700th year of the signing of the Magna Charin.
The primary object to be considered must be a purely business one, and then if it can be shown that as good an article and as cheap an article can be produced within the Empire, and the cunctancy of supply kept up as well, then naturally there should be no Britisher who would not give preference in buying or selling within the Empire,
it is to be a case of one part of the What can Empire saying to the other,
More you buy or sell and then see what trade can be done within the Empire. especially, it is anticipated that good! exhibits of raw material will be shown.
