One particularly interesting develop ment is that the Conference favour a system of direct and personal contact between the King's Governments in Britain and the Dominions. According ly the office of Governor-General is modi- fed. Its holder remains the representa tive of the common sovereign but he loses any responsibility he may have retained as an agent King's Government in Britain.

"
Legislation will be necessary to make the slight alteration recommended in the title of the King in which the word.
and is omitted from the phrase "Great Britain and Ireland,” thus making it clear that Ireland enjoys the same status as Dominions beyond the Sens."
The Sunday Times says that the re- port contains all the elements of a better understanding and closer co-operation so essential to the, continued welfare of a flexible institation like the British Com, monwealth of Nations. If all future Imperial Conferences are as fruitful and harmonious there need be few fears for the Empire.
"
The Observer says that this report, defining with the unanimous consent of the Conference. the implications of autonomy and reconciling it fresh with unity and making for close and more confident cooperation along the whole range of common interests, stamps this year's Conference as historic. The Con- ference ends this week and the Prime Ministers return home. They leave with the satisfaction, which their people can share, that there is a definite accom- plishment, to show for their long voyages and many weeks' absence from their own domestic affairs.

Rrosy, November 22nd.
No Inequality of Status. The Morning Post says that the ap prehensions felt in some of the Dominions as to their status have been definitely set at rest.
There is no inequality of status. If there is any semblance in in- equality the British Government has no desire to maintain it.' The slight changes necessary to give effect to the views of the Conference meet with no opposition.

Report's Mixed Reception:
re
LONDON, November 22nd. Press comments on the report of the Imperial Conference Committee on inter- Imperial relations range from complete approval to severe criticism.
While the Daily News and the Daily Chronicle describe it as very able and far-reaching, the Times, Morning Phet and other newspapers incline to the opinion that it leaves the position much
as it was before.
The Daily Telegraph says the report is as remarkable for what it emits or leaves unsettled as for what it effects in the way of constitutional modification. The Daily Herald declares the report a masterpiece of evasion which has very skilfully avoided every real problem in the present anomalous relationships be tween the Governments of Great Britain and the Dominions,
American Fress Comment.
NEW YORK, November 22nd. The American Press is everywhere in pressed by the significance of the report on the changes in British inter-Imperial relations, the majority opining that Britain will Jose none of its power by creating a new Empire status.
