ap ap. a At the second meeting, on June 21st of the Imperial conference, Mr. Winston Churchill Secretary of State for the Colonies. de livered an important speech on the Crown Colonies ard Posses sions administerd directly undir the Colonial Office.
Mr. Churchill said that the finances of these possessions most complicated, Some were so exiguous that the sale of postage stamps to philatelists was an important feature in their revenue. The production of turtle was in one case almost the staple article of export and of revenue.
During the war we had got our mahogany for aeroplane frames from British Honduras, and fire cotton for their wings :rom the West Indian Islands sugar producing Colonies had then been prosperous be.
yond their dreams creeping paralysis of depression had spread to almost all the Colonial industries wbich had flourished durineg the war. From almost every one of the Colonies romplaints are coming in that its principal products can not now be sold at profit Even the sugar Colonies, prir.
cipally Jamaica and itish Guiana, are in difficulty of the submission, Mr. Churchill con disposal of their crops.
tinued, to the Conference, was that we must not loose heart in any way about these splendid tropical possessions, but en deavour to secure credit and money for them to give them that essential technical paratus they required to develop their great resources. This was a matter that should more and inore encourage the sympa thies and interest of the selfgoverning Dominions. illustrate this particularly, Mr. Cirurchill went on to say, by the West Indies. In the summer of 1920 a trade agreement was ad made between the Canadian Gov ernment and representatives o all the West Indian Colonies. It is not merely a remarkable in stance of Imperial Preference, but it promotes unity with the Empire through the development Imperial communication, which the prime Minister and have always considered the most promising lines alorg which we can advance ever since the Conferece which he Sir Thomas Smartt and attended in the year 1907.
Two lines of steamers, one entirely new, will now connect nect all the West Indian Colonies with the Dominion of Canada. boſe Mr. Meighen and the Canadian Government will advance with increasing con fidence on this path, because it seems to me that for all the greatness of Canada and its tre.
mendcus producing potentialities it connection with these semitropical islands. Compared to the United States, Canada lies wholly to the North with Northern pro ducts, whereas the United States can produce all that Canada can produce, or very nearly all, and reaches down to Florida and regions which gives her a semitropical sphere. But if the asscciation between Canada and the Ir. dian Islands is developed open gces on, Canada becomes with an immense range of products, wh which makes her, an economic point of view, a far more complete entity, and therefore look forward to every.
a association between these West Indian Islands and the Dominior. It is not only from the point of view of commerce alone, but they are among the most beautitul islaids in the world They are salubrious and balmy, and it might be they would be place of agreeable resort at sea, sons of the year, wben the climate of Canada is sometimes rigorous.
