IMPERIAL CABINET.

BIG NAVIES TO BE DISCUSSED AT FORTHCOMING MEETING.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONFERENCE,

LONDON, January 6.

It is understood that the Imperial Cabinet meets in the second half of June Invitations to the premiers allow the inclusion of subordinate ministers The Government has sent out invitations in response to re- -peated solicitations frotz Mr Hughes. Mr Lloyd George, who is equally keen, impressed upon the Premiers that if they did not assemble soon Britain would be compelled to settle various important foreign affairs single- handed and this would be prejudicial both to the Dominions' and Britain's interests. The agenda is now being prepared and will be sent our to the Dominions at the end of January leaving ample time for their additional suggestions. The big navies question is certainly the most outstanding feature. The Government anticipates that the premiers will desire a concurrent defence council and to bring naval and military advisers.

The premiers will be invited to fix the composition, the date and the meeting place of a constitutional conference. It is believed that the Gov ernments are now in favour of London in 1922 owing to magnitude of the problems to be discussed. Imperial ministers consider that the representation should be larger than the old time conferences, and include members of the opposition. Other subjects comprise Empire emigration on which Mr Lloyd

· George is likely to subinit comprehensive proposals, also inter-Empire communications and various problems arising from the peace settlement. It is felt that the Japan and American and the Chinese and Japanese, situations are bound to be discussed. Canada's proposal for a direct -ambassador to Washington will likewise crop up.

"THAT NAVAL HOLIDAY.

AMERICAN SENATOR'S NEW PROPOSAL

1:

WASHINGTON, January 6. At a meeting of the Senate foreign affairs relation committee, Senator Walsh, who urged the despatch of an American representative to sit on the Disarmament Commission of the League of Nations, cyposed Senator Borah's resolution requesting the President to negotiate with Great Britain and Japan for an agreement with the United States to reduce armaments. He said that the American Navy would be as formidable as the British in 1924 if their respective programmes were continued on the present basis but Senator Borah's resolution, which simply calls for a fifty per cent, cut in the British. United States, and Japanese building programmes would tend indefinitely to postpone the time when Great Britian will no longer bel mistress of the seas.

ENORMOUE SAVING OF FETBOL POSSIBLE.

In motor car trials at Brooklands held, with a view to saving petrol, six cars submitted to the standardised test with the carburettor jet reduced resulted in an average increase of mileage for fuel burned of 22 per cent. while the loss on the maximum speed was only two miles an hour. It is computed that the adoption of the scheme will lead to the economisation of 40,000,000 gallons annually.
