The Australian Premier, Mr Bruce, and party, looking fit, camo to London fo-dqy, after a rough Channel‘crossing. They were met by Sir Joseph Cook and other officials representing the overseas and Imperial Government Departments.
Replying to interviewers, Mr Bruce said that of course he and all the delegates at the Conference v-ould have “lots to say if Canada raises the question of the' rights of the GovernorsGeneral, but I cannot anticipate the Conference and say what our stand will be.” He said that he regarded migration and redistribution of the .white population of the empire as one of the most vital subjects for the Conference. Everything depended upon development which would decide the overseas rate and capacity for absorption. He thought the Empire Marketing Board was doing useful work. The question lof improved and faster shipping services for the carriage of produce would have to bo given the closest attention.
