Government. We had certain schemes
prepared which / think would have
been helpful to trade and industry,
and IL you help trade and industry

for the development of the Empire
and the encouragement of industry
at home are to receive a fair ex-
animation at the hands of Bonar

can they will extend the Improvement.

also had proposals to look after the
