As most of the British delegates ar</ on holiday, now that the House of Commons has adjourned, It is unlikely that further steps will be taken until early in September. The Dominion and British delegates met at 10 Downing Street to review the work of the Conference. The meeting which lasted 90 minutes, took the nature of a farewell gathering rather than a business discussion. Britain's signature to the Empire delegation’s (which was published yesterday),'especially Sections VI and VIII is regarded as a triumph for the Dominions as a result of protracted negotiations.. The faonference issues are at present as dead as though they had never arisen. Even the acrimonious wheat and dairy produce controversies have •been talked out.
