IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
THE CASE OP NEWFOUNDLAND,
MR DEAKIN EULOGISED
Pre;s Association-By. Telegraph-Copyright' LONDON, May .17.
Mr Deakin, interviewed on the question, declared that Sir R. Bond certainly protested emphatically at the Conference against the treatment to which Newfoundland's legislature had been subjected, and the Imperial Government's refusal to reverse its attitude. The Premiers during the sitting expressed their sympathy'with Sir R. Bond's contentions, but there was no demonstration of their feelings.
The " Times" eulogises Mr Deakin'r; fresh, comprehensive, well-informed vigorous speeches addressed to popular audiences, ■ and justifies Viscount Milner's tribute. It adds, "We indeed are indebted to those speeches for most of what we know about the actual aims and arguments of the Premiers at the Conference."
