EMPIRE CONFERENCE
London Paper’s Proposal
(Received October 28, 7 p.m.) LONDON, October 27.
“Is it not time an Imperial Conference was summoned?” asks the "Evening News,” in a leading article. .A 0 ?,” enough has passed since the end of both wars to get into rough perspective some of the tasks that await, us as an association of nations. The- attitude ol America and Russia is crystallizing, it not being clarified. It. is becoming manifest that however much and healthily we differ among ourselves as a family, an agreed common British Empire policy on major economic and political issues will have a profoundly stabilizing effect. “If the Washington talks should fail, the whole economic orientation of the Empire would have to be replanned.
"There is a fairly representative sprinkling of Dominion statesmen in London, but little is heard of turning the informal aggregation into a normal Imperial Conference. 'The machinery .'or summoning a conference could be quickly put into motion. The Prime Ministers could arrive by air in a few days. A conference could be far more than a demonstration of solidarity, It could achieve a great deal of practical good for the future.”
