The application and better utilisation of capital raised in the United
Kingdom and other parts of the Empire, towards promoting the development
of the Empire's resources
The systematic dissemination throughout the Empire of news bearing upon
Imperial questions and interests
The preparation and publication of Imperial statistics
Better organisation for handling and for disposal of the produce of
various parts of the Empire
These, and subjects of a similar nature, we considered should be assigned
to the proposed Board as its ordinary work; and to the duty of advising
the Governments on these matters would be added that of collecting the
necessary particulars bearing upon them, involving research not only into
the conditions prevailing in the Empire, but into the methods of rival
trading countries.
To a large Board we were opposed. We suggested that members should be
required to give their whole time to the work, and that representation of
the various parts of the Empire might be as follows:--
United Kingdom, India, Crown Colonies and Protectorates 7
Canada 1
Australia 1
New Zealand 1
South Africa 1
Newfoundland 1
