PEACE PROTOCOL
DOMINIONS RELUCTANT. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Jan. 8, 1.45 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 7. The Australian Press Association has been authoritatively informed that not a single Dominion has definitely approved or disapproved of the suggested protocol conference. Australia, while pointing out the inconvenience of attending such a conference, postponed a decision. Canada and South Africa-stated that they preferred to cable their communication, but wore willing to appoint representatives if the other Dominions were represented. New Zealand was reluctant, but willing, if necessary. India and Newfoundland are awaiting the decision of the other Dominions. Meanwhile, the Colonial Office emphasised the concluding passage of Mr. Amery’s despatch, which said: ‘‘There is one pressing matter raising issues affecting the vital interests of the whole Empire on which personal consultation, in the view of the Imperial Government, is essential I refer to the protocol for the pacific settlement of international disputes.” The _ Foreign Office concurs in the essentiality of personal consultation, but neither Colonial nor Foreign Office wishes to impose its desires noon the Dominions. Both are still honeful *of devising a plan to overcome the difficulties.
