NEWS OF THE EMPIRE
A GO-OPERATIVE PLAN. ' (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) TORONTO, Sept. 19. National Press Associations in each of the Dominions freely exchanging news of the Empire, were held up as a prospect to hope for by a committee of the Commonwealth Relations Conference. . , _ Delegates remarked that m each Dominion at present there was a paucity of news about the others. . It was stated that at the last Imperial Press Conference the Canadians said that if each of the Dominions had an organisation similar in aims and operation to the Canadian Press Association, the problem would be solved. The idea of a co-operative British Press, as. advanced three years &g°j •was then approved in principle and a committee was appointed to consult the various Dominions as to its practicability wih a view to reporting to the next conference, in South Africa in 1935. . , _ It was suggested that if South Africa, Australia and India set up co-op-erative associations as in Canada and New Zealand, the road would be prepared for the establishment in London of a clearing house for Empire news, in which the Press of the United Kingdom would be invited to participate.
