EMPIRE DEFENCE MINISTERS BEGIN LONDON MEETING
London, June^21.
The British Defence Minister, Mr Emanuel Shinwell, told a Press con- ference today that the conference of Commonwealth Defence Ministers which began here today was mainly concerned with Middle East defence. Mr Shinwell is presiding over the conference being attended by representatives of Australia, New Zealand South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, Britain and Canada. He expected the secret talks to last for four to five days.
He explained that the conference was derived from the unofficial talks held by some of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers in London during the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' conference in January.
