to the small sum of production. Our lack of organisation as regards empire supplies and consumption was outdistancing production. The whole question of supplies must be reconsidered. The possibilities of empire production should be placed in the forefront. He was aware that Trusts already had a foothold in certain Dominions but by bringing the Dominions into closer trade relations with the motherland we could more effectively devise methods to enable those dominions. to relieve themselves of the menace of trusts.

Lord Milner, who presided, said he was not sure we could obtain everything we required from the empire, though as an imperialist he did not want to live in an hermetically sealed empire. On the other hard he believed that a greater development of imperial trade would mean a greater increase of foreign trade, but if we retained command of the sea and had a proper economic development within the empire we should be safeguarded. against interruption of supplies of food and raw materials. He believed in the ultimate success of the League of Nations but was unprepared to stake everything upon its immediate success. After all the British empire would supply the driving force of the League and the best way of providing for it was to enable the empire to be self-supporting. We ought to leave no stone unturned to produce more.
