PREMIER'S CONFERENCE.
(/ Vr Press Axx<>rinti"ii —<.j>//rii/!if.) lIonAKT, Feb. I. The Premiers' Conference, in discussing Mr Chamberlain's Imperial Union scheme, would not entertain the idea of international freetrade. It was decided to write to Air Chamberlain asking for further details in connection with the proposal with regard to the Colonies joining in the England-Japanese commercial treaty. The Conference decided it was undesirable to take any steps in that direction on the grounds, previously advanced, that the Colonies should remain in a position to protect themselves from Japanese cheap labor.
