SIR ALFRED MOND'S OUTLINE OF POLICY.

“NECESSARY IF THE EMPIRE IS TO SURVIVE.”

In view of the Constitutional adjustments in the British Empire recommended at the Imperial Conference by the British and Dominions' Prime Ministers the following outline of the policy a united economic empire, from the pen of Sir Alfred Mond is of great importance.

Sir Alfred Mond who has recently returned from Canada and has been named as the chairman of the proposed "great amalgamation of chemicals firms, has the reputation of being one of the ablest mea in England both as a politician and a Azancier.

The article appeared in the Spretator of October 30th, and advance proofs, for reproduction in our columns, were courteously supplied to our London representative by the editor of the Spectator,

Si Alfred Mond writes:---

Vital Materials,

We command not only mineral re- sources but we coatrol almost exclu- sively, some of the most important and vital materials. I need only refer to the nickel fields of Canada, the rubber of-the Malay Peninsula, the tin of the British Empire. We have potentialities to stag- ger humanity, to serve for generations, for centuries.

Economics, Not Politics. Those who have explored the subject have too often, approached it from the constitutional political point of view, Many ingenious minds have endeavoured construct merely constitutions. I have seen dozens of constitutions for the Empire framed in the studies of studious men who had no contract with the prae tical realities of life. Many have en deavoured reconcile the natural inde pendence of free communities within the Empire with some special organization to control them all, but no one has succeeded or is likely to succeed on these vast complex with different Dominions, If it were only possible to handle this lines.
