MELANCHOLY CONCLUSION
IMPERIAL CONFERENCE RESULT. ATTITUDE OF THE CONSERVATIVES By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 19. “A melancholy conclusion” was how Mr. Neville Chamberlain, in a speech at a meeting in the city, described the outcome of the’ Imperial Conference which, he said, had offered the greatest opportunity of the generation. The Government, to its lasting shame, had disappointed the Dominion representatives. The Conservatives, if they had the ■chaj <•->, would quickly grasp the hand the Dominions extended and enter into conversations with the fixed determination not to rise from the table until they had concluded to the mutual advantage reciprocal trading^arrangements. “If the quota system were not-.accept-able to the Dominions, or was impracticable owing to exterior forces, the Conservatives -would not shrink even from taxing foreign wheat rather than forgo the supremo advantages of true economic unity,” he added.
