That is the ideal which inspires the Empire crusaders. In politics, however, an ideal is useâ€" less unles it can be translated into practice. The next quostion is, thereâ€" fore, can a practical policy of empire free trade be framed to give effect toâ€" this idea!, and, if so, on what lines? New Problems and a Mew Policy First and foremost, it must be real Ized that these proposals are someâ€" thing entirely new in the history of British politics. They have nothing at all in common with cither narrow protection or rigid free trade. _ They are in no senso the same as the proâ€" gect put forward by Joseph Chamberâ€" lain at the beginning of the centary. But to achieve this end there must be an inducement to the farmors of the empire to expand their output and the boest inducement is to guarantee them a steady demand for their proâ€" ducts. s It is proposed to give such a guarâ€" antes by imposing a tax on foreign wheat and meat entering this counâ€" try, if in return the dominions will allow our claim for free entry of Briâ€" tish.goods into their territories. our destInation. Chamberlain asked~ that & tax should be put on all tmported food with rebates to the Dominions, in return for preferences to British mamufac turers. The Empiro crusadera demand that The Empiro crusaders demand that food from the empire should enter this country absolutely free, unhamâ€" pored by any tax or involved in any clumsy system of rebates. They claim that the empiro is already virtually selfâ€"supporting . and ask that there should be true free trade through every part of it. and a hig. our less f; sibly enjo great bene against sw €r All over the map we can see a growâ€" ing tendency towards the grouping toâ€" gether of interests and nations into powerful federations which are seltâ€" supporting and able to defend themâ€" selves sgainst any kind of commercial aggression from outside. The United States of America, an empire consistâ€" ing of 52 different units, is the most powerful and prosperous of the naâ€" tions of the globe toâ€"day, and its prosâ€" pority is due to the comlete and un} fettored freedom of trade which its citizens enjoy within their own tron-‘ tiors and the ample protection which they recoive against foreign interfer-j @MCo. L I Yet, for all our political and ractal unity, we have no econothic unity which will enable us to take our fair share of the world‘s commercial prosâ€" perity. We who comprise the Englishâ€"speakâ€" Ing peoples of the empire, have ties of race, of lovalty and of outlook which must inéevitably prove stronger than the chance of geographical neighborâ€" hood, which indeed grows less importâ€" ant daily as transport is continuously accelerated and Aimproved. eurrent in the European countries which now compete with empire pro-.l ductsin our markets and which, withâ€"‘ out buying the goods we have to sel!,! export large and increasing quantities | of goods to us with damaging effect| on our own industries and agriculture. We have, too, a standard of living and of wages far higher than those In the dominions, colonies, protecâ€" torates, and last, but not least, the soil of our own country, we have a potential source of supply of all the food and nearly all the raw materials which the empire requires. The crusade for imperial free trade, launched only three months ago, has already had such great repercussions on the political tite and thought of the empire that the time is ripe for a restatement of the policy which it is preaching and a redeclaration of the aims and ideals which inspire its leaders. The idea behind the empire crusade is this: The Following is the Beaverbrook Empire Manifesto Released for Publication in Toronto on Friday by Mr. C. J. Ketchum, theSpecial Forsign Correspondent :‘ of Lord Beaverbrook‘s Daily Express Beaverbrook‘"s Empire Trade Manifesto D b Its ur worldâ€" commerce ye he most| Eightyâ€"four per cent. of thke mutton the naâ€"| we eat is raised within the empire and its prosâ€"| 56% of our beef.

In 920, only nine years ago, iNew Zealand sent us 275,000 cwts. of | butter. In 1927 the figure was.1,25%, | 000 owt., or nearly five times as great. | Similar increases to this are possible !in nearly all the staple foodstufts | which we import from our overseas possessions, and it is the purpose of I empire free trade to bring them about. | Future Developments. | Despite these great figures of existâ€" | ing ‘production the empire is at preâ€" | sent grossly underdeveloped. Our food ‘supplies,â€"~then, are safe, food pricesa â€" will not rise, but .the farmers," both of the Dominions and this country will be guaranteed a marâ€" ket for thetr goods which will enable them to increasé production and reach @ new leval of prosperity. + In the aggregate less than 10 »per cent. of the land surface of the doâ€" minions and India.is under cultivaâ€" tion, whereas no less than 50 per cont. of the land yt the United States is now being farmed, In Australia only one are in every hundred is cultivated, in Canada the similar figure is 2% acres, and in New Zealand® and South Africa 3 acres. Throughout the empire there are milâ€" lions of acres of land now lying idle which could and should be used for the production of food. In western Australia a scheme of agricultural development is now afoot to increase the wheat lands of the state by another 8 million acres andg to show the vast increase in food supâ€" plies which may be expected from a fuller development of empire reâ€" sources this scheme alone shouldâ€"reâ€" sult in an output of 12 million more bushels of wheat. Many more instances could be given of the vast potantialities of the omâ€" pire as a source of food but enough has been said to show that given the sure market which the new policy would create the food production of the empive would be ample to satisfty its needs. , /w The cry therefore of. "dear food" can have no applicatton to the policy of Empire free trade and the principal objetion of the ‘critics is destroyed. _ For bacon ang dairy produce of all kinds wo ato still largely dependent du Denmark, but it has long been reâ€" ognized that no country in the world is more suited to this branch of farmâ€" ing than our own, and with the addiâ€" tionet stimulus in the shape of a steady market â€" w‘ich empire free trade would give, there can be no doubt that we could go far towards supplying ourselves with these comâ€" modities without dificalty or increase in price. Scientific research _ has already brought *us within sight of meeting this difficulty. as empire products the Canadian wheat sent to this country through United States ports, the truth is that already 70% of our wheat imports are empire grown, and Canada. and Ausâ€" tralia could more than satisfy our â€"reâ€" maining needs from.the surplus they now export to foreign countries. Already the empire is nearly selfâ€" supporting in some of the staple comâ€" modities of food and in many othe[l opportunity for expansion is waiting and will be taken the moment that a secure market is available. Wheat, the most vital of all our food imports, is already mainly deâ€" rived from empire squrces, Although the British official figures have bither»‘ to obscured the fact, by not entering | ‘ Our supply of food, therefore, will | not shrink and its price will not rise. Only its source will be changed and we shall buy what we need from our | own people instead of from foreigners who can give us no compensation in | return. Within this vast area almost every kind of natural product is to be found, and there is soil suitable for raising any crop and feeding any animal. Food"Resources of the Empire But, says the critic, how do you jusâ€" tify the statement that the empire can supply itself with food? R The answer to this ‘question lies in the map of the world. Remember that the British empire is an extraordinarâ€" lly varied collection of ~countries, spread over the whole globe and en« Joying every type of climate. It conâ€" tains a quarter of the world‘s land surface and a quarter of its entlre‘ population. a All empire food wili enter this counâ€" try tax free, and the tax on foreign imports will serve only as an indnceâ€" ment to increased empire production.

It is the beliet of the Empire crusaders that the fostering of key industries in the dominions is of vital importance not only to the prosperity but to the safeâ€" ty of the Empire as a whole, and that every effort should be made to mainâ€" tain those that already exist and enâ€" courage their growth where as yet there are mone. For this reason a measure of protection for certain inâ€" dustries may well prove desirable, even against imports from other porâ€" tions of the Empire, at the outset of the scheme. Duties for Revenue Purposes There are, moreover, in many parts of the Empire important duties which are levied for purely revenue purâ€" poses, and it is no part ~of the proâ€" posals that these should be repealed. The security of the revenue must be maintained and a still higher duty imâ€" posed against foreign imports. These exceptions to the general principle of complete free trado throughout the Empire are conceded but the most orthodox free trades would not cavil at them. * ‘lndus:r,v\ ad agriculture nfust go side by i Canadian industry and British fti.+.n« must each receive the fullest re snition and si#pport,‘ and any talk < making Great Britain the sole workshp of the empire is danâ€" gerous folly. pros{= pire a First and foremost it must be laid down that it is not &nd never tan be a part of the policy of the empire crusaders to destroy any industry that now exists in any part of the empire. So far from tending to eliminate or handicap the infant industries of the dominions, empire free trade is de signed to strengthen them and give them fresh opportunities for expanâ€" sion and development.

Lumbering and Vacations Go Hand in Hand TORONTO Instead of competition there would be coâ€"operationr. Instead of fluctuatâ€" ing markets and underselling of Briâ€" tish products by foreign goods manuâ€" factured with sweated labor, there would be a wide and steady demand and full protection for hours, wages and prices throughout the whole emâ€" pire. The greatest political unit in the world‘ would become also the groatest economic unit, and a new era of prosperity would open for the whole British race. The cartel system, which has alâ€" ready been sucessfully used on an inâ€" ternational scale, is ideally suited to such a federation as the British Emâ€" pire. ‘The dominant tendency of postâ€" war industry has been towards large scale amalgamations and in the hands of able and experienced business men the same principles could e applied to empire industry in such a manner as completely to solve these problems. Pet at the same time there need be no cutâ€"throat competition between the manufacturers of the different units of~ the commonwealth. What is now proposed is that in the first instance this great commonâ€" wealth should combine to satisfy its own needs.. To a highly industrialâ€" ized country like our own the advantâ€" ages are evident and striking. Every one of the dominions is still compelâ€" led to import the bulk of its manufacâ€" tured goods; under empire free trade these imports would come, so far as is possible, from Gréat ‘Britain or other dominions instead of from forâ€" eign countries like the United States. As in food, so in raw material, the resources of the empire ‘are immonse. At the present time nearly 414% of the world‘s wool, 70% of‘its gold, 90% of its nickel!, 60% of its rubber and over 43% of its tin is producd within the emipre. In quantity and quality its labor supply ex¢eeds that of any other nation or‘ group of ‘nations that there, has ever been. _ use of the vast natural resources which are available to them and that, protected against foreign dumping, they would find new and steady marâ€" kets for their products within the boundaries of British rule.
