EMPIRE'S NEED OF CO-OPERATION.
DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE REVIEWS THE CASE.

London, October 3. The Imperial Conference met for two and a half hours to-day, being chiefly occupied with the statement by the Duke of Devon- shire on the progress and development of the Crown Colonies and mandated territories. Speeches were made by the Dominions del- egates on the subject. The Conference agreed to a system of pub licity, but it is understood that Marquess Curzon's statement on foreign policy on Friday will not be published.
The Duke of Dovonshire emphasised that the mural and material progress and development of the Colonies, Protectorates, and mandated territories was increasingly important to all the partners in the British Empire. The Colonial Office constantly en- deavoured to fuster the interest of the Dominions in this matter, and to stimulate inter-Imperial trade. The Colonies and Protect- rates were still suffering from trade depression, but were generally pulling through the Sinancial position. Some of the smaller Colonies were a constant source of anxiety, but there were indications that

Proposals would be submitted to the economic conference with the object of increasing inter-Imperial trade with the tropical pos- sessions, and fostering their development, but the action of the different Goverments must be reinforced by private capital and enterprise. The Ronald-hay committee was exploring this All- important aspect of the question.
He anticipated that the British Empire Exhibition would open the eyes of the world to the tremendous material resources of the British Empire.
After reviewing the progress of the Colonies, the Protectorates and mandated territories, since the last Imperial Conference, the Duke of Devonshire concluded by saying he would welcome any advice or counsel from any delegate in handling the large, complex responsibilities of the Colonial Office,
