Dnltcd Press Association— By Electric telegraph—Copyright. (Ecceived 10th November, 9 a.m.) LONDON, 9th November. Delegates to tho Imperial Conference were entertained at Dorchester by Imperial Communications, Ltd.

Mr. J. H. Thomas, Dominions Sec-, retary, said that the Imperial Conference had had many lectures about eoo-. nomics. He still asserted that something worth while would come-, from the Conference. He referred to the dangers <55 '' trying to write the- British Constitution." ~ Sir Basil Blackett, managing director of Imperial Communications, said that cable charges would be reduced to wireless rates immediately the Commonwealth approved tho agreement. Mr. J. H. Thomas, at the Bridgewater beam station, spoke- telephbnically with his son at Montreal; also telephonically discussed the Conference with Mr. Beatty, general manager of the Canadian Pacific Bailway.
