The Imperial Conference, in adopting the report of the Premiers committee on inter-imperial rela- tions, has set the stamp of its appro- val on these significant words, "The position and mutual relation of the group of self-governing communi- ties, composed of Great Britain and ¥ Dominions may be readily de- ed. They are automonous com- munities within the British Empire. equal in status and in no way subor- dinate the one to the other in any aspect of their ddmestic or external affairs though united by common allegiance to the erown and freely associated as members of the Bri- ish commonwealth of nations." The report, briefly reviewing re- cent history, says the tendency of dominions towards equality of sta- tus is both right and inevitable. Geo- graphical and other conditions make this impossible of attainment by way of a federation. The only alternative i§ by way of automony. "And along \his road it has been strictly sought, In fact, it not always in form, it is " subject to no compulsion whatever.' 3 Not Founded on on Negations. The report continues, 'but no aec- eoini, however accurate, of the ne- gative relations in which Great Bri- tain and the Dominions stand to each other can do more than express a portion of the truth. The British Empire is not founded upon nega- it depends essentially, if not on positive ideals. Free {rae co-operation its instrument, and peace, security and progress among its objectives. : "rhe aspects of these great themes have been discussed at the pre- sent conference and excellent re- results have thereby been attained and though every dominion is now and must always remain the sole' judge of the nature and extent of its co-operation, no common cause will in our opinion, be thereby imperill- ed." Change in King's Title, In a change recommended in the King's title the term "United King- dom" disappears. The change, it is explained, is necessitated by the Irish Free State becoming a Domin fon. The new title will read: "Ggporge V, by Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions béyond the seas, King, defender of the faith, Emperor of India." To Represent Crown Only: Governors-General should repre- sent the Crown only and not the Bri- tish Government. This principle is affirmed in the report of the prem- fers' committee on inter-imperial re- latioys and adopted by the Imperial conférence. Communication between the British Government and Govern- ments of the Dominions should be between the governments direct, the report, recommends; and not through the governor general as is the existing practice. "In future treaties, British min- jsters shall sign for Great Britain ustead of for the empire." says the report adopted by the Imperial Con- ference today. "In foreign relations neither Great Britain nor the dominions should be committed to the acceptance of ac- tive obligations without the definite assent of their own governments." The report adds, future treaties are to be signed by each dominion for it- self Canada signing Al Great Bri- tain. ~ 200-TON PAPER MILL. Announced for Cochrane by Hon. Charles McCrea.
