IMPERIAL CONFERENCE
POSTPONEMENT TILL NEXT YEAR POSSIBLE London, March 9. ‘The Colonial Office is still without communications from the Dominions definitely agreeing to the suggested date of the Imperial Conference between September and November. Although the Australian and New Zealand communicat.ons imply concurrence, the Australian Press • Association is authoritatively informed that opinion is growing ithat tho ImperiaJ Conference will possibly be postponed until next year, owing to the apparent impracticability of a full attendance of Premiers this year. A high authority pointed out that Mr. Bonar Law s original proposal contemplated an Economic Conference, indpendently of the Imperial. Mr. Bonar Law attaches the supremest importance to the Economic Conference, notably in relation to interImperial communication and transport ana Imperial preference. It is unofficially suggested that the Dominions might send their Finance Ministers and experts to the Economic Conference, whoso recommendations would come before the Imperial . Conference next year, thereby obviating the attendance of Prime Ministers this year. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
