PRESS CONFERENCE

• DAILY TELEGRAPH'S ' COMMENT PROBLEMS OF BRITISH PEOPLE. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, October I. Recalling that the Imperial Press Conference had been described not inappropriately as the unofficial parliament of the British people, the ‘Daily Telegraph’ devotes its chief editorial to the work of the conference. It commends the wisdom of the hosts in offering the delegates ample opportunity to study the conditions or life and industry iu Australia before sitting in conference. The editorial declares : ‘‘lt is hard to see why Australia should not erect and operate under suitable regulations its own wireless station here.” Regarding settlement and devolopmeutdt says: “ There are happily signs that public opinion in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand is awakening to the fact that the dominions are suffering as much from a shortage of population as wo are from a surplus, and that a redistribution is as essential to their welfare as to ours. _ The delegates have been engaged in sifting opinions and theories, and lifting the common problems of tho British peoples out of tho arena in which political parties wage their warfare. We are convinced that new possibilities of further developments along fresh channels will bo brought nearer to realisation ns n result of this missionary journey.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
