Must Help Commonwealth
To Earn Dollars
- Wilson
London, Oct. 20.-Mr Harold Wilson, Presi- dent of the Board of Trade, urged here today that Britain should give all possible help to Common- wealth, countries to enable them to increase their dollar carnings.
Mr Wilson told a Royal Empire Suciety meet- ing that it was on the future development of colonial areas that so many pinned hopes of a great contribution towards a long-term balance between the Sterling Area and the rest of the world.
"Against the background of world economics the de |velopment of these terri-
fories in 10 or 15 years may prove to be the most im- portant event of the present century, and may well in time revolutionise the world economic position and ba lance of trade," he added.
