EMPIRE PARLIAMENT
SIR JOSEPH WARD'S PROPOSAL FOSTERING DOMINION TRADE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Press Association. SYDNEY, June 9. Speaking at the Millions Club, Sir Joseph Ward advocated the formation of an Empire Parliament composed of representatives of all the dominions and the Mother Land to handle those issues that concern tho Empire as a whole. He added that the day bad passed when the House of Commons, wir.n tho maze of British problems, could completely control tho policy of the dominions on broad issues, and the Parliament ho proposed could legislate on foreign matters, war clouds, and the conduct of war should it develop, and similar matters. Sir Joseph Ward urged suitable reciprocal treatment in trade between Australia, and New Zealand, and suggested the formation of a committee of business men to consider ways and means to increase trade between the two countries.
