Those areas of the globe, coloured red on the maps, may have all the resources requisite for a great, self-sufficing, economic unit of a new order.

Their peoples may desire that new order.

But until it is achieved you must remember that the British Empire belongs to the region of dream and not to that of fact.
For many years now, apostles of reconstruction have been hammering out the details of a scheme that shall unify the Empire on some sort of Federal basis.

For the new organism which they desire to create they need a brain.

Is this to be found in the Westminster Assembly, sometimes loosely styled the "Imperial Parliament"?
As things stand at present such a suggestion is a mere counter-sense.
