Affiliation With The United Kingdom

London, Feb. 2.

Lord Ogmore, a Labour peer, called for a new relation- ship between Britain and the British colonies during a debate on colonial affairs in The House of Lords today.

He favoured a "Grand Council”—a federal body for the United Kingdom and all the colonial territories which desired to join it.

The Council would control defence, foreign affairs, foreign services and common economic matters. It would, he suggested, obviate the difficulties now being experienced by the govern- ment over the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
