The concession will inevitably necessitate a beary increase on railway charges which are now approaching a point where any further increase would not bring increased revenue as they would reduce traffic. The Cabinet had accordingly decided the present lement should not be disturbed for such a period as would enable industry and commerce to regain the stability so essential to the com: manity except for alterations consequential on changes in the cost of necessary revenue a higher scale of wages could only be maintained į

Several members repeated the Opposition tinnously effective in the councils of the world. This had been tem- argument regarding the League of Nations aspect. The resolution porarily achieved in war time, and daring the peace negotiations was carried by 60 votes to 20. through Imperial War Cabinet and the British Empire Delegation. It brought the whole force of the Empire to bear daily upon the cours of world events. The imperial War Cabinet was as complete an exe cutive of the whole Empire as could possibly be conceived, but it was bound to fall into abeyance at the end of the war, if only because the Premiers of the Dominions could not continue to remain. It was still very important, and it would be possible, if not continuously, anyway occasionally to establish an instrument of the Government not only able to discuss Imperial affairs but able to take action representing the whole Empire. He was absolutely convinced that something more was necessary than we had got in the Constitation of the Empire if the plendid barmony existing in war time was not to be frittered away peace time and if we were not to separate from one another, going different roads even without knowing it. He was convinced we would be able to hold together on all matters of world importance but only H we kept in closer touch than was possible to do merely by means of Imperial Conferences held every four or five years. He was sure that something which brought the peoples of the different self-governing Atates of the Empire, who were actually responsible for conduct of their affairs, into constant close touch with one another was essential If the Empire was to play the great role it ought to play in the world. Something of this kind must be done. Something of this kind was in the minds of statesmen not only here but in all the self-governing Countries under the Crown. They were alive to the necessity of some more perfect organization to keep the Empire on the same lines of policy and, if necessary, to ensure its whole strength being thrown Into the right scales at the critical moment. He agreed that the sac- cans of the League of Nations depended, above all, on the British aatiop, who were a League already by nature, being able to speak with one voice.
