EMPIRE UNITY STRESSED
Premier On Forces Linking British Peoples
London, Dec. 9. Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, was enthusiasti- cally received when he addressed an audience of nearly 3,000 in London to-day in connection with the Empire Unity Campaign.
Mr. Chamberlain said that under. the Ottawa agreement, Britain's imports from the countries repre-
sented there had been increased by 41 per cent, while Britain's ex- ports to those countries had been increased by 46 per cent. between 1932 and 1936, and there had been a great increase in imports and exports for the first nine months of this year.
Mr.
added: "So
Chamberlian we see that the polley of Imperial Preference in practice has been twice blessed. It has benefitted the Dominions and also this coun- try."
TRADE STIMULUS During the same periód Britain's exports to foreign countries had also greatly iricreased. These figures proved that the increase In Imperial trade, instead of diminishing foreign trade had add- ed economic stability to the world and had therefore proved to be a stimulus to the salernational ex- change of goods.
Referring to the Imperial, Con ference after the Cofonation, Mr. Chamberlain said that never in all the history of Imperial Confer- ences was the
sense of kinship better or fundametal unity be- tween the representatives on all essential issues more clearly de- monstrated. There were further efforts they could make to bring them nearer the goal-namely col- laboration with other partners in the British Commonwealth in the means of defence-in their attitude and relation with foreign Powers, and in the development of means of communication and the build- ing up of scanty populations with fresh blood.
RIVAL GOVERNMENTS Speaking of the rival systems of government, Mr. Chamberlain
sald:
"It is no wish of ours to pre- scribe to other nations the sort of Government they should have. For ourselves we prefer and mean to maintain that form of demo- cracy we have built up for hun- dreds of years and which is best suited to the habits, ways thought of our people.
