TRADE, THE MAKER OF NATIONS.

MISTAKEN SNOBBERY.

OUR DEBT TO THE MERCHANT ADVENTURERS.

OXFORD, September 19th. The Conference of the Incorporated Secretaries' Association was opened to day at Balliol College, Oxfộng, there be ing in attendance about 140 members from all parts of the country and from the Colonies. The opening address, was delivered by the president, Major Richard Rigg, 0.B.E., on the subject of Trade as a factor in the development of nations."

There was a spirit of snobbishness abroad, said Major Rigg, which looked askance at trade and commerce. This attitude was altogether andeserved, na commerce was the mother of the arts, the sciences, and the professions, and in this twentieth century was in itself an art, a science, and a profession. In the history of the world trade and commerce had played their part in the making of nations.

So far as the City of Londen was con- cerhed in medieval times, London was the guilds and the guilds were London. They superintended every branch of human industry and controlled every section of human endeavour. They con trolled the government of the City of London. The first Mayor of London was appointed on the accession of Richard the First in 1189, and he and his succes sors were all men intimately associated with the trade and commerce of the City, At the present day twenty-seven guilds of the City of Londen exercised considerable public control. Their members elected the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, the City Chamberlain, and many other city officers.

The foundations of our Empire were largely laid by the Merchant Adven- turers, men like Hawkins, Drake and Raleigh. The Honourable East India Company from the years 1300 to 1958 had been principally responsible for cur great dependency of India, whilst from 1670 down to the Confederation of the Dominion of Canada in 1867 the Hudson Bay Company had exercised similar political sway in Canada.

More than four hundred acres of land adjoining that owned by Mr. Hatfeild have been dealt with by the speculators in this way, and yet, though prices have become stabilised by the definite opening of the line, he still refuses to sell.

He owns nearly seven hundred acres in all. Practically every acre is suitable; for development for building, and £500,000 is the estimated value of the land. Part of the estate has a frontage to the main Epsom road. ----

Fortune Begging.

Everything in the neighbourhood of Morden is conspiring to tell Mr. "Hat- feild that the fortune left to him by his father, Mr. Gilliat Hatfeild, head of the tobacco firm of James Taddy & Co., can be doubled at a stroke of the pen, but he persists in his refusal to sell.
