The "Daily Telegraph’s” diplomatic correspondent says that what emerged clearly from the discussions of the Imperial Conference is that while the Foreign Office sought to justify separate action of entering into war commitments under the Locarno Pact, without the general consent of the Dominions, such action certainly will not be repeated in the future, since a repetition could be regarded by the separatists of South Africa and elsewhere, as vindicating their own doctrine of independence in the international domain. It is not anticipated that any new and written constitutional formula will be envolvcd. but it is expected that such measure of agreement as is reached, will be crystallised according to tradition in a resolution framed in general terms.
