EMPIRE CONFERENCE
BRITISH PRESS COMMENT. (“Time’s” Service.) , LONDON, December 29. “The Times,” in a leader, says: There is nothing eit het surprising or disapp'ointing about the reluctance of the Dominion Governments to participate in the special Imperial Conference on the Protocol, The Dominions have their own affairs to attend to, and cannot reasonably be expected to release their Premiers and other responsible Ministers for long periods, whenever a problem, however important, comes up for settlement. Besides, the attitude of the Dominions to the Protocol is suffiicently notorious in advance. The proposed conference could therefore decide nothing but what is already known. The business of the Imperial Conference when it next meets should be something far larger and more far reaching than a settlement of any current ’question. We should inaugurate once and for all a system under which not merely the Protocol, but every other world problem could be discussed between its members with knowledge and continuity, which would in fact make the invitation to sudden conclaves as unnecessary as it is now proving impracticable.
