Book Description

Excerpt from Tariff Reform, Employment, and Imperial Unity The greatest question that confronts the British race at the present time is that of the confederation of all the British-speaking States under our flag into a United British Empire; but there are several other questions which must be solved before this confederation is possible. Of these the questions of employment, of the power of each citizen to be able to maintain his own home, to live a healthy life, and to bring up a family of healthy children, appear to be the most important. The other great questions of national defence and national unity cannot be solved unless we have at home a healthy and prosperous population able to bear the burden of national armaments, therefore the question of employment must come first. The writer offers this booklet as a contribution towards a solution of these problems. He believes it is the duty of every Briton to take his share in this great work, and hopes he may be able to help, if only a little, towards pointing out the paths along which the nation must travel.
