The British Imperial Conference
Hobson, John A. | October 1, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article throws light on the Imperial Conference in London, opening on September 30, 1930. The conference proposes the statement of the British Prime Minister, to discuss "all matters of common interest to the members of the British Commonwealth under the following heads: (1) Inter-imperial relations, (2) foreign policy and defense, (3) economic questions." Under the first two heads come a variety of political issues, not to be regarded as of vita] importance. If logic, indeed, were accepted as an instrument of politics, the British Empire is a hopeless structure. It covers about one-fifth of the land surface of the globe and about one quarter of its population.
