In conclusion, trade in this country will improve if taxation is reduced (and the reduction of taxation depends to a extent upon disarmament); if the tariff obstacles to trade all over the world are removed or reduced; and if we come to a settlement in the matter of war debts and re- parations; and the best way to do this would be to wash them all out.

An all-round reduction of arma- ments would be a step forward. It is my main hope for 1932.
