' -■ The Ottawa correspondent of the Times, states that official sources declare that there is no difference between the Admiralty and daughter States regarding naval contributions, but that there is an opinion that both Canada and Australia will persist in their decision for the allocation of ships. t .-Canada's Pacific coast will not, it is stated, be satisfied with any decision of the Defence Conference which leaves the Pacific free to an enemy. INTERCHANGE OF FORCES. • ■:,_.., London, August 16. . The Imperial Government's proposals have been accepted by the Imperial Defence Conference. They provide for the interchangeability of the forces in all parts of the Empire, the organisation, training, equipment, arms and manoeuvres being the same as the Home forces. An active interchange of officers on the Imperial General Staff will contribute uniformity, as also will training colleges in the colonies on the lines of the Comberley Staff College.
