EMPIRE ECONOMICS
CONFERENCE AT OTTAWA. PREPARATIONS IN BRITAIN. London, Jan. 6. In an official message concerning the forthcoming Empire Economic Conference at Ottawa it is stated that Britain’s preparations are far more extensive than anything hitherto attempted. As an example of the tremendous amount of spadework, an investigation of one minor commodity has resulted iu 30 typewritten pages of notes. The Government is more than ever convinced that even a substantial inter-imperial agreement is only to be achieved by the most intensive preliminaries, entailing frequent discussions with the Dominions. Several Dominions haye accepted invitations to the conference, but they point out they are not yet ready to confer. It will be necessary for each to deal with individual commodities, not merely in relation to exports to Britain, but in relation to other Dominions. Further evidence of the comprehensiveness of the preparations is the fact that vital currency and exchange preliminaries so 'far have not been investigated.
