AN IMPERIAL CABINET
PROPOSAL AROUSES INTEREST POSSIBILITY DISCUSSED s (Rec. 8 p.m.) RUGBY, June 15. The subject of the possibility of a meeting of the dominions’ Prime Ministers in London continues to interest public opinion here. Recalling Mr Churchill’s statement in the House of Commons last night that he would- warmly welcome such a meeting, the newspaper Sunday Times states: “ Nevertheless the principle is sound and as the ordeal of war intensifies the case for applying it will grow steadily more pressing. Broadly, it can be applied in one of two ways—an Imperial Cabinet, which would function continuously, or an Imperial Conference, which would meet from time to time. The first would be preferable, but it is difficult to see the impossibility of the second. The vast development of air travel since the last war should render it very much easier to hold such a conference than then.”
