The Bombay Co-operative Conference met to-day [April 19] under the Chairmanship of the Hon’ble Mr. Lallubhai Samaldas at Vanithavisram Hall. There was quite a representative gathering of co-operative credit society, men and general public at the Conference. Mr. Lallubhai delivered a lengthy and interesting presidential address, in the course of which he surveyed in detail the co-operative movement in the Presidency. He maintained that a correct solution of the large problem no political reform would mainly depend on the growth of co-operative movement. It was essential that those who were keenly interested in the growth of this movement should not only disseminate the knowledge of co-operation far and wide but should also educate their representative in the principles of co-operation and its advantages.
