What Jghn W. Dafoe Says About the Imperial Gathering. Ottawa, Nov. 19. -- "The Imperial Conference just ended was a real conference," said John W. Dafoe, editor of the Manitoba Free Press, this morning upon bis arrival from London, "It was valuable because it was a conference of governments and not as has been the case former- ly something in the nature of a sup- er-rahinet of the empire." ° : "While they sidestepped the ques- tion of a formal definition of the status of the dominions," said Mi. Dafoe, "they did what really amount- ed to a definition of the status when they formally aflirmed and recogniz- ed the right of the dominions to make their own treaties." Canada was adequately represent- ed at Conference, Mr. Dafoe said. Prime Minister King made a very good impression, both at his public meetings, and at the sessions them- selves.

This would likely bring us poace at Cliristmas. It would also be likely to enable the country to get into a scttled condition."

He dwelt on the undermining of the jvery foundation of British nationai life by the continuance for four winters in succession of unemploy- ment; the hoplessness of looking for a rapid improvement through the settlement of European peace now that France has eceupied the Ruhr, and the curtailment of foreign Invasion of the home market by t products of countries with depreciat- ed exchange, . Secks Relief from Law's Pledge. "No government with any sense of responsibility," the Premier de- clared, "could continue to sit with its head in its hands watching the unequal struggle of our industry or content itself with palliatives." Therefore, he had decided to ask relief from Mr. Bonar Law's pleage. Mr. Baldwin explained what he hopes to accomplish by imposing duties on imported manufactured goods: First, raising revenue by methods less unfair'to home production, Second, assistance to ' industries exposed to unfair foreign competi tion. Tes to negotiate reductions in eign tariffs, Fourth, the grant of substantial preferences on the whole range of duties to British-produced articles. Mr. Baldwin argues: which is subject to the arbitrary in- terference of every foreign tariff, and at the mercy of every disturh- ance arising from the distractions of Furope, is in no sense free, and ii is certainly not fair to our own people." i Unemployment 'the Issue. London, Nov. 19.--Prime Minis- ter Stanley Baldwin, opening his el- ection campaign in favor of tariff protection before a big audience in Queen's Hall to-day, declared the is- sue is unemployment and nothing else. The world's grade, he said, is dislocated in conser of the war, and Great Brit has been hit harder than any other country. "It the markets of the world are con- tracted, why should the whole bur- .den of shortage in trade caused by that contraction fall on our should- ers instead of being shared among the peoples of the world?" he asked.

ALLEGIANCE 10 BERLIN Will Be Demanded=-=Strese- mann Struggles With a Rebel Parliament. Berlin, Nov. 19.--Aftet a series of uncertain moves in attempting to settle the future status of the Ruhr and Rhineland, the German Gov- ernment apparently has reached a definite plan 'of procedure. The cabinet has approved plans whereby the Ruhr and Rhineland will re- celve their economic" freedom, but | will maintain political allegiance to the reich. This sompfomise, follow- ing a number of conflicting decls- fons by the Berlin Government, aims to preserve the two occupied zones within German political sovereignty, rather than permit a situation that would put them under French rule. Despite demands of Socialists and Democrats, the cabinet reiterated its decision to stop doles to the oc. cupied areas on November 24th. Meanwhile facing the threat of a reichtag vote of lack of confidence in his government, Chancellor Stresemann is preparing to fight to retain power. A Rebel Parliament. "Die Zeit," Stresemann's mouth- piece, declared editorially Saturday | that "if the reichstag votes lack of confidence in Stresemann, he is pre- pared to dissolve the body. Pres! dent Ebert will not hesitate to grant him full powers." While thé allies debate punitive | measures toward Germany, Strese- mann is struggling with a rebel par- liament. The opposition is planning to achieve his downfall and over. throw his ministry when the body meets Tuesday. The chancellor ap- parently intends to counter with dissolution and the taking of dicta- torial powers. To-day General von Zeckt is vir- tually dictator, and it is understood that members of the cabinet are complaining to President ert that they are practicasly. per- floussunder his regime. Thé state- ment of "De Zeit" indicates, how- ever, that Stresemann himself Is preparing to take over dictatorial powers. It Is learned the Berlin gov- ernment is considering issuing an order for the arrest of Hitler and von Ludendorff, thereby taking the case of the monarchial conspirators out of the hands of the Bavarian government.
