THE RESOURCES OF THE EMPIRE.

PLEA FOR A DEVELOPMENT FIND."

A Memorandum has been drawn up by the Trade and Industry Committee of the Royal Colonial Institute for pro- sentation to the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the national resources and improvement of trade of the Empire. The Memorandum states that the Com- mittce are fully sensible of the import ance of this Royal Commission, and pro- coeds--

Recognizing that it is the first Royal Cotumission to be appointed by, and for the information of, the Imperial Con- ference-ic, the authonomous Govern- ments collectivoly-they are anxious that a precedent of such magnitude should be Janiply justified by the results obtained from it. Noting that the terms of re- ference have been made unusually wide, with the purpose of allowing the Com- missioners the utmost latitude (subject

mitter hope that there may ensure from the Commission at least one recommenda- tion of a kind calculated to signalize in the popular imagination this new experi- ment in Imperial unity.

AN AUSTRALIAN SUGGESTION. After stating that the Committer feel that sufficient information respecting the natural resources and trade of the Dominions already exists in the shape of various reports from the Departments of the Dominion Government and from the British Trade Commissioners resident in the Dominions, and that the mere colla tion of this information would hardly have justified the appointment of a "peripatetic" Imperial Commission, the Memorandum continues:--

Accordingly the Committee desire. respectfully to urge upon the Con-

missioners the possibility of taking advantage of the Harcourt clause to reconsider the iden of establishing a joint fand for the general purposes of what may be described as Empire development on the lines of the proposal discussed by the Imperial Conference in 1907.

It was in 1769 that one, Gordon, bent on adventuring his fortunes in the City of London, was attracted by what the celebrated Sergeant Buzfaz described as the tranquillity and retirement of Goswell Street. There Gordon acquired the substantial house now known as 132, Goswell Road, and there be erected those additional buildings necessary for the purposes of a rectifying distillery and cordial manufactory, which romain practically unaltered to this day.
