TRADE DISCUSSIONS
BRITAIN AND AUSTRALIA THE END IN SIGHT A COMPROMISE AGREEMENT LIKELY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, July 18. (Received July 19, at 11 a.m.) The Australian Associated Press political correspondent says the end of the Anglo-Australian trade discussions is in sight. It is accompanied by a lastminute rush. Ministers who met at the Dominions Office in the morning for nearly three hours adjourned to attend the Buckingham Palace garden party, where, with their wives, they had afternoon tea with the Queen, resuming the discussions at 6 p.m. It is thought possible that there will be a further meeting to-morrow to enable a conclusion of the Ministerial deliberations before the delegates go to France for the unveiling of the VillersBfetonneux memorial, leaving the officials to complete the details. Sir Earle Page hopes to make a comprehensive statement before the weekend, pending which he is telegraphing drafts to Canberra. Sir Earle will embark at Glasgow' for Canada on July--30. It was intimated this morning that while the outlook is slightly more satisfactory for Australia than last week, there are no prospects of the full agreement originally sought, for which reason a comprehensive revision must await the Anglo-American agreement and the American Congressional elections, after which the delegation will return to London.
