HANGING ON

WORLD ECONOMIC CONFERENCE " ' APPOINTMENT OP COMMITTEE Australian and N.Z. Cable. LONDON, July 25. The World Economic Conference dies hard. Apparently the Mr MacDonald, is determined tcj maintain a semblance o|, continuar tion, for it is understood that when the bureau, or directing committee, meets to-day it will be asked to" appoint a small committee to keep contact till some indefinite date, when the world situation may permit of progress.

A British official wireless message states that the bureau agreed to appoint a small committee to decide on the future meeting of the conference. The committee is to decide by November Ist whether the conference will again be convened. The silver agreement is regarded as the conference’s one ewe lamb. Prom the point of view of New' Zealand and Australia the “Ottawa Conference in miniature,” which is meeting daily in the House of Commons, is much more important than the World Conference. Yesterday’s meeting was concerned with tho future of the Empire Marketing Board, but the more important sub‘ jects of the limitation of meat and dairy exports from the minions, and the closer linking of the Dqmlnlyus to Britain ant} the sterling group in the matter !! of ctiil rency are likely to be considered be* fore the sittings end.
