MR FORBES’S IMPRESSIONS.
LONDON, October 1. “ What I welcome 4 most at the opening session of my first Imperial Conference was the emphasis which practically all the speakers gave to the economic problems,” declared Mr Forbes. * Although the actual proceedings were form u, all the Prime Ministers simply reading their speeches, the surroundings of the historic room lent a dignity .. id impressiveness to the occasion. te could not but be impressed with the fact that the delegates, though nearly all strangers to one another and to the Imperial Conference, represent a large proportion of the world’s population.” Mr Forbes added: “We have met with high hopes and the determination in this time of world-wide economic depression that we shall reach definite and practical achievements for the benefit of the whole population of the Empire. We shall be most disappointed if we do not register real economic progress.”
