Note.
NEW YORK, May 6th. A calmer view is taken by the Tress as regards, the British debt The conviction is growing that the Note is intended to correct errone ous impressioris current in Europe rather than embarrass the United Stales or re-open the discussion of war debts, renewed discussion of which is at present regarded as futile.
The New York Times declares that if the common man comes to see war debta hampering foreign trade and harling prestige, he will be rendier to reconsider and re- arange them.

It is now recognised that this practice might be regarded as no longer wholly in accordance with the constitutional position of the Governor General, and after July 1st communications between Gov- ernment and Goverment will be direct in the case of any Dominion desiring it. Hence the Governor General wil no longer represent His Majesty's Government in Britain.
The question of carrying out the Imperial Conference resolution re garding the development of sluser personal touch hetween Britain and the Dominions and among the Dominions themselves, is at present under consideration.
