ABSTRACT

The internationalisation of Co-operation is a natural development in the evolution of our movement. Men and women come into our societies every day and go out of them without necessarily changing their place or their mode of living, their religious or social associations, their hobbies, their habits, or their tastes. Co-operation means free consent, and its growth means the growth of the idea of mutuality in the minds of men. “The International Alliance should abstain from any form of trading; but it should be the business of the International Committee to found suitable agencies which will bring existing co-operative business organisations into relations with those of other countries. The outline constitution adopted for the Alliance embodies all the resolutions.
