Mr. J. H. Thomas. M.P.. who joined in the welcome on behalf of the Govern ment, remarked that whilst the War affreted all sections of the community, no section was so affected by the after- effects of the war as those represented at that congress. (Henr, hear.) From the business point of view be would say that ulle lesson we learnt from the war ALSO

was that wars herer paid. There was no victor in wart wars brought in their train misery and suffering, and if there was one thing we ought all to resolve

to do it was to make war impossible if

we could. Towards that great ideal no nation cound contribute more than the British Empire." (Hear, hear.) We re- presented a quarter of the globe; we were people that had ever believed in war, and we were not a war-like nation, bat we did believe in honour, and in keeping our word. (Hear, hear.) He was ope who believed that cheap labour was baif, and that sweated labour ought to be op posed, but he equally said that whilst they ought to demand the best they ought always to be in the position of giving the best in return. (Hear, hear.) That could only be done by sweeping, awdy that abeurd and dangerous doctrine that the Empire was an Empire belonging fo one class or section of the community.

Nothing was more days than that doctrine of class batred. Therefore they had. to apply theriselves tô, this recon- struction of business as a result of their experience in the war. They could help by trying to bring all ate tions together. Capital was essential to the development and prosperity of business, but so WILS laboar, and it instead of being åt each other's throat and adopting a policy of building up, their difficulties and the Empire's problema would be very shortly solved. He was anxious to see a return to the spirit of 1814, the spirit that appeared" very much like a religious revival, when inen and women of all classes and all sections said net What can ̧ I get?” but What can I gire'?" "(Hear, hear) That was the spirit that pulled us through the difficult period of the war, and that was the spirit that would pull us through the period following the war. They were discharging an important task in that organization. It was fitting they could assemble in "this particular year when at Wembley they would see the Empire in miniature. After they had visited ibe Exhibition they would be able to go back to their friends and tell them whitin wonderful place it was. (Hear, hear.)

Lord Derby Afterwards in his pre- sidential address remarked that Mr. Thon bad made an Imperial speech in the best sense of the word. It was an Im perialism which recognised that we were great Empire-not one great State, birt a number of great, States all joined together under & King and a Flag that was common to all of us (Hear, hear) That they must always have differences of opinion as to metheus was certain, but at the ve time they were all imbued with a sense of loyalty to the "Expire. (Hear, búar.) Mr. Thomas had invited them to go to Wembley. It would be well worth their while to go there because until they had seen it they had not realised what the British Empire was and what it could do. They would see exhibits which would make them recog nise, he hoped, that we could be a self- contained Empiry, not impervious to out Aide competition, but still capable of holding "our own. Hear, hear.) Paas ing to a survey of the work of their organisation, Lord Derby aid it was thirty-eight years ago almost to the day) when the first congress opened in London in 1888. There were nearly doo British Chambers of Chinmerce in existence, Many of these were somewhat small, but at the same time he thought they would agree that a small Chamber of Commerce ought not to be ignored simply on that account. The British Empire was still in the making, and if in 180 they had ignored the small chamber they might have found that, they had ignored those that afterwards became the largest and the most important organisations. At the same time he thought it was neces~" sary that for a conference the numbers Commerce. They had not the executive should not be inordinately large. It bad powers of Parliament, but it was a place therefore been decided-rightly, be "con- where open and free discursion could be sidered not to limit the number of given to all those measures which affect- Chambers of Commerce to be associated ed any particular part of the Empire. with them, but to limit to some extent He ventured to hope that their delibe the number of delegates. They had been ralions would result in bringing all described as i. Parliament of British
