Empire Profaronco Stimulates All World Commorco

London, Dec. 9. Mr. Nevillo Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, was enthusiasti- cally received when he addressed an audience of nearly 3,000 in London to-day in connection with the Empire Unity Campaign.

Mr. Chamberlain said that under the Ottawa agreement, Britain's imports from the countries represented there had been increased by 41 per cent, while Britain's exports to those countries had been increased by 40 per cent, between 1932 and 1930, and there had been a great increase in imports and exports for the first nine minths of this year.

DEFENCE ISSUE

Referring to the Imperial Con- ference after the Coronation, Mr. Chamberlain said that never in all the history of Imperial Conferences was the sense of kinship better or fundamental unity between the representatives on all essential issues more clearly demonstrated. There were further efforts they could make to bring them nearer the goal-nane T y collaboration with other partners in the British Commonwealth in the means of defence-in their attitude and relation with forelin Powers, and in the development of means of com- munication and the building up of scanty populations with fresh blood.

STANDS IN FRONT RANK Speaking of the rival systems of government, Mr. Chamberlain said: "It is no wish of ours to prescribe to olher nutions the sort of Govern- ment they should have. For our- selves we prefer and mean to main- tain that form of democracy we have built up for hundreds of years and which is best suited to the habits, ways and thought of our people.

"We rejoice to find that in these great Dominions there, too, are the same forms of democracy, unlobened

and justice that we do ourselves,
