EX-IMPERIAL SERVICEMEN - l-.-iHr-m..
BY CABLE—PRESS * SSOm ATTON—COPYRIGHT
LONDON, July 19. The Empire Service Conference resolved, on the motion of Mr. Dyett (Australia), to approach the Imperial Government to provide money to enable ex-Imperial servicemen overseas to receive the same privileges accorded exmembers of the A.I.F.
The conference also passed a resolution, at the instance of Mr. Hills (Australia) declaring that in order +$ facilitate land settlement in the Empire they should request the British Government to arrange a scheme of concessions for marketing commodities, resulting in much increased settlement and production.
General Wylie (South Africa), seconding the motion, said it was right for the Mother Country to give concessions, especially in such far distant Dominions as Australia and New Zealand.
It was decided to hold the next biennial conference in Australia, provided there were no insuperable difficulties.
