and India, of late sprung into prominence. The potentialities of this vast but largely undeveloped asset, comprising nearly 40 separate countries spread across the globe, as an expanding market for British manufacturing industry now recognised.

are

Before the appearance of The Crown Colonist no journal existed, authoritative and technically competent, which, covering the Colonial Empire as a whole, made its special concern the trade and industry, public services and private enterprises, growth and economic development of all the Colonies, their relations with one another, with the rest of the Empire, and especially with Great Britain.

Collectively the Colonies form a great economic commonwealth spread across the world, united with strong bonds of loyalty to the mother country, and destined possibly to become of primary importance to the future of British manufacturing industry.
