South Africa, out Of this discussion.
Exports Put at $3.50. 900, 900.
"Our next step is with the non-self-
governing colonies-like Tanganyika,
Kenya and Malaya-our empire In
trust; it numbers 50,000,000 people. In
1927 it imported $1,260, 100000 worth
of merchandise. These imports are
growing so rapidly that these non
self-roVerning colonies will be purchas-
ing $3.50, 000, 900 worth of merchandise
annually in 10 years time.
I'm 1927 the total exports OF Great
Britain were valued at $3.50 600, 600.
If we erect a protective tariff wall with
these colonies we will not only provide
them with an assured market for their
primary products in Great Britain. but
we also will provide them with security
and assurance and give capital SUI
ficient security for their future develop
ment.
its way, the self-governing dominions,
such as Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land and South Africa, will wish to
come in as partners"
Competition Is Cited.
Lord Beaverbrook cited the fact that
in 1929 Canada's wheat exports to
Great Britain were virtually destroyed
and driven of the market by cheap
Argentine wheat, subsidized wheat from
East Prussia and subsidized flour from
France. France exported wheat to
Britain, selling 1t for So less per quar-
ter than the cost at which the British
farmer could produce 1t.
Great Britain, said Lord Beaverbrook,
was the only market capable of absorb
ing the Canadian wheat surplus, and
here was an obvious case OF benefit
from empire free trade protection. In
return, Canada could give Great Brit
ain sheltered market in coal and
structural steel and steel sheets-not
one ton of the last two items being
manufactured inside that dominion.
Reciprocal Benefits Are Given.
Thanks to Great Britain's erection Of
empire free trade wall against foreign
wheat, thus assuring the Canadian
farmer of dependable market, Canada
would find 1t economically advantageous
to give Great Britain decided prefer
ence In her annual $346, 000, 900 imports
Of iron and steel machinery, of which
Britain now supplies only about $780,
100000 worth, the publisher contended.
Great Britain already enjoys a pref
erential tariff on most Of these articles.
but the fact that British manufac-
turers realize the necessity further to
organize on a basis of mass production
and thus be better able to compete
against world prices, was clearly pointed
out in a speech recently by j. H.
Thomas, lord privy seal and also spe-
cial minister for unemployment.

Congressional hearings recently con-
cluded contain the most comprehensive
statement that the HoEse appropriations
committee has had presented to it
touching the Organized Reserves in a
number of years. A real effort is being
made to develop this valuable adjunct
to At into the war plans as to personnel
with proper regard for distribution in
grades and branches.
The 1881 estimate calls for an ap-
preparation Of $6,542 1902, to be supple
mented by an unexpended balance OF
1880 funds estimated at 100000. For
the present year $6,110,602 was appro-
priated and authority granted to ex-
pend, in addition, $224,750 OF purchase
of-discharge funds. In direct appro-
priations, therefore, while there is an
Increase of $431, 760, in available funds
the increase is $707, 010.
The 1881 estimates contemplate Civ
ing training to but ISL more Reserve
officers than the appropriations for the
current fiscal year. The estimates for
1881 will provide training for 14-day
camps for 20,151 Reserve officers, and
to $50 others for longer periods, includ-
ing 322 on extended details with the
Army Air Corps; also for total of %,
ITO hours of flying by Reserve officer
pilots, on both active and inactive duty
training, apart from the flying per-
formed by the officers serving with the
Army Air Corps. For the current year
the appropriations provide 14-day train
ing for 10000 Reserve officers, extended
training for asa and for approximately
Is, 900 hours Of flying.
Contemplating training for 20,151
Reserve officers at the 14-day camps In
1881 will be vigorously opposed by the
Reserve Oficers Association, the ma
tional organization Ct the Reserve OFF,
GERS of the country. At the last ma
tional convention of the association,
held at Indianapolis, Ind, the first item
on the list of essential legislation adopt

priations with which to train not less
than $4,000 Reserve officers during the
