FREE TRADE AND COLONIES

Lord Amold was well advised to raise again recently the question of British economic imperialism and its relation to the expansionist demands of the dissatisfied Pow- ers. In a debate in the House of Lords he stressed the large control possessed by the British Empire

of essential raw materials and

contrasted it, with the inadequate supplies of the Germans, the Italians, and the Japanese, The problem is, of course, less that of control than of access to supplies, and it is here that Free Trade would help. If the dissatisfied Powers

were able to sell their goods freely in Europe. they might obtain the foreign exchange with which to buy all the raw materials that they need, and to the extent that their grievances were ecoho- mic they might be largely appeas- ed. The practical difficulty is the FIVE HUNDRED DEATHS
