Now can only say. for myself, that am member OF
the Central Board in England appointed for the purpose
regulating the organization OF thousand societies In
that country and that took part In promoting the CO.
operative scheme in London which concerns itself not
merely with the principle OF cooperation as at present
applied and understood. but with cooperative colonial

both for England and America, because IN England we

BROAD ASPECTS OF COOPERATION.
All this Is quite possible. Yet unit now. far as
know. has been thought Of applying co6pera
ton TO these objects but shall take the liberty OF
ing that my mind the whole question Of cooperation
has a much larger aspect 1t affects the question OF
labor AS well emigration and puts into the hands OF
the people OF improvement which are certainly
wanting now nearly everywhere. You in this country
