Imperial War Cabinet Issue
(By Reuter's Political Correspondent)
THERE HAS BEEN MUCH DISCUSSION IN POLITICAL CIR- CLES ON THE QUESTION OF DOMINION PARTICIPATION IN THE DIRECTION OF THE WAR, AND POINT HAS BEEN LENT TO THIS DISCUSSION BY THE RECENT PROCEEDINGS IN AUSTRALIA.
In regard to the question of an Imperial]. War Cabinet, it is felt that admirable though such a suggestion is in theory, it presents enormous difficulties in practice.
Reference is continually made to the Imperial War Cabinet in the last war but in fact that Cabinet only met three times, once in 1917 and twice in 1918, It was in fact a gathering of Dominion Prime Ministers.
There have been attempts dur- ing this war to arrange for simi- lar meetings of Dominion Prime Ministers but up to the present it has not been found possible to get them all in Britain at the same time.
Apart from the meeting Dominion Premiers, which
of
is still hoped will be held when circumstances permit. there
no idea at present of summon. ing an Imperial Conference.
