Abstract
THE appointment of the Imperial Economic Committee was a further step in the evolution of the Empire, and, should it be successful, an important one, for the aim is to promote “the greater prosperity of the Overseas Empire, the better distribution of the white population within the British Commonwealth, and the better employment of the population which remains at home.” This the Committee hopes to accomplish by devising “methods of turning the trend of commerce into channels which will most effectively assist in the development of the Empire”; and it goes on to say that this “is a task at once complex, difficult and delicate, and [one which] cannot be hurried”—a conclusion with which few will disagree.
