the raw material Dominions, on their part, naturally wish to develop their own industries-if needs be even at the expense of British products. In the Colonies, Britain cannot, now afford money for unlimited development, though it would be wise to examine projecia which show" promise of quick returns for moderate outlays.

a powerful encouragement to the development of trade between countries who share common allegiance and traditions. The natural result of the free association
the of nations In Commonwealth, their foundation on sentiment makes them more than just a series of paper transactions. And at present they are reinforced by other considerations: Britain has long-term agreements with most Dominions for the purchase of foodstuffs, agreements which work to mutudi "advantage by assuring

In the long run, of course, the lest of all these ngree- ments is that which applies to trade throughout the world: the goods sold must be paid for at prices as favourable as those which can be obtained elsewhere. Far from restricting the free fow of goods throughout the world, trade co- ́ operation within the Commonwealth-by promoting healthy economles in the countries, concerned-can be a powerful stimulus to trade with other countries.
