BRISBANE, Sept. 6.— Mr Ames, a member of the Canadian Parliament, said the question to be dealt with at the Congress was Imperial preference. Canada had gone as i'ar as possible in that direction with the United Kingdom, but possibly would go further with Australia, to the advantage of both countries. The treaty with New Zealand was working well and trade with that country had doubled in five years. Arrangements between Canada and other countries had resulted in benefit to all.

Mr Ward, editor of the Sydney Daily Telegraph has returned. He declan that the Imperial Press Conference could not fail to have a far reaching and time enduring influence for good on the oversea dominions.
