We have been passing through a period of unexampled wastage and expenditure, and yet it has been a period with many of the outward signs of great prosperity. The explanation, of course, is that in time of war, the community that is the fight for rational existence is necessarily spendthrift-or, rather, economic

considerations Are set aside, and national wealth is con sumed at an unparalleled rate. But the moral of all this is that we must resume at once the practice economy and the creation of wealth. Otherwise we shall meet with the fate of all persons who treat their accumulated capital as though it was spendable income. And while I am Fall for learning the lessons which the war has taught us, it is, I believe, more clear than ever that it is by sticking to the fundamental principles of Free Trade and by removing all restrictions from industry and com- merce that we can rebuild the shat tered health of the community."

interests, and it would be found to be the same to-day. It was not necessary to emphasize the fact that there was: hardly any direction in which, when we gave preference to our dominions and colonies, we did not do something to injure the trade of those who had so splendidly fought by our side during the war. That would be a poor reward to offer to the Belgians and the French. All the arguments put forward by Mr. Joseph Chamberlain- about the necessity of protection for cementing the Empire had been wiped out in the blood of the men who had fought in France and Gallipoli.

Colonial prefernce might be "in- troduced by Mr, Austen Chamberlain in more than one way,, From what was stated in the newspapers, it was more than likely that it would be by a reduction of duties upon goods im- ported into this country from the dominions and the colonies. What were the articles sent to us upon || which such a reduction might be made? Lord Sheffield had gone into the matter in an admirable pamphlet, and showed that there was no article which the colonies sent to us in which we should be able to give to the dominions or to the colonies any very substantial advantage.

It would certainly mean that we should have to pay more for our tea in the future; and the few invalids who preferred China tea would be obliged to pay more. Or take the case of sugar, about which Mr. Hughes had said a great deal. He had said that Australia could supply a very large quantity of sugar in a short time, but he had said nothing about the 1912 Royal Commission the sugar industry in Australia.
