London, April 30. Lord Brassy, addressing the Australian Club, said the coming conference of colonial Premiers would afford an exceptional opportunity of testing the possibility of an Imperial tariff. The time was ripe for closer union. The British were brimming over with gratitude and admiration for colonial assistance in the war. He advocated liberal subsidies to accelerate cheaper communication with the colonies and advised the creation of a naval force at the joint charge of the Motherland and the Australian Commonwealth for service primarily in colonial waters, though available elsewhere.
