In short, Professor Mcllwaine's interpretation is very interesting and suggestive, but not wholly convincing. Nevertheless it is an interpretation that is well worth weighing, and the book is one that will amply repay careful study.

That is what the Imperial Conference is now discussing and why Imperial Preference is necessary to the economic welfare of the British Commonwealth...
