P.)—The Imperial Conference, to deal with po litical, economic, naval and other matters of importance throughout the empire, convenes tn this city In October and will continue for about two months. The meetings of the conference dealing with political matters will be held under the presidency of the British prime minister, Stanley Baldwin. Representatives of the governments of Canada, India, Aus tralia, New Zealand, South Africa, Newfoundland and Ireland will par ticipate. Among the important subjects to be discussed is the naval situation resulting from the Washington ar mament conference. Considerable also will be given to arrangements for future cooperation between the imperial and dominion governments in all branches of defense. Other subjects on the agenda in clude: The main issues of Imperial policy; problems of foreign policy; naval, military and air defense«; ca ble, wireless and mail services; in ter-imperial communications by air, land and sea. The prime ministers of the empire and their ministerial colleagues on the Imperial Conference will all be ex-officio members of the Economic Conference, which they will attend on such occasions as they, or any of them, may deem to be necessary. It is even possible that sometimes the two conferences may be merged into one, as, for instance, when the Im perial Conference desires to discuss matters in the presence of its expert advisers. This is the first time an Economic Conference has been called together in connection with an Imperial Con ference. The economic Conference will be composed chiefly of experts in matters of finance, trade, defense, etc., and will be, in the main, an ad visory body whose reports and re commendations will have to come be fore the Imperial Conference. Notwithstanding this somewhat formidable agenda, the social side of the conference will not be neglect ed. There will be a reception at No. 10 Downing Street by Prime Minister Baldwin as president ex-officio of the conference; the Secretary of State for the Colonies, the Duke of Devonshire as vice-president, and by other British ministers.
