In connection with the anticipated trade boom in 1990, great. schemes are. being prepared by British-traders to give Britain domination д the world's

The Daily Mail says, that eos of the schemes being pushed forward by the Department of Overseas Trade is designed to interest buyers in the Dominions Over- sade. Is will, in brief, be a British Em- or three

latter pointed out the seriousness of the results that would be entailed by pirano commercial centres in
the adoption of such, a reservation. Canada and Australia "would imme- diately protest and he indicated that they had so impressed their view upon the London Government that it would be compelled to back them up. In his opinion disruption of the League would result. Viscount Grey said in conversation with Senaton and other officials, that those who insist upon this reservation were unduly alarmed over the possibilities of separate vores for the British Dominions, but they were conjuring up chimerical dangers, while the United States will create a very real danger to the league's exist ence if it insists upon equaising the voting power of the United States and the British Empire in the League Assembly. Senator Hitchcock asked whether the Johnson reservation, which the Senate rejectat and which aim ed at the equalisation of the voting strength giving the United States as many votes as the combined votes of Great Britain and the Dominions, namely six, would be more acceptable to the British Colonies. He said he thought it would, but pointed out that France, Italy and the other Powers having but one vote would protest that they were unfairly discriminated against and they too should have six votes. Senator Hitchcock made no secret of the fact that he feared the question would prove one of the bardest to adjust.
