STATUS OF BURMA
OBJECT OF CONFERENCE.
(British Official Wireless.)
(Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, December 16. Lord Peel, presiding at a meeting of the committee of the Burma Conference, said his statement on Friday was intended to define for their guidance a field for useful discussion. The object of the conference was to frame a constitution embodying responsible government at the centre as well as in provincial matters subject to reservations and safeguards. They should consider the virtue of a compromise in arriving at a settlement along these lines. Lord Lothian said the view held by the Government as expressed by Lord Peel was the principle of the declaration of January 18 applied to the future constitution of Burma.
