The following is extracted from a raport of one of the sittings of the Imperial Conference-

Mr. Poarce said that whenever the Common- wealth proposed to pass a Navigation Law, it was reminded by the Board of Trads of the existence of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, and the Board of Trade had pressed on the cen- sideration of the Commonwealth Government a view to which, as far as he knew, no Dominion Govornroot had assanted-vis, that the Merchant Shipping Ast overrode the Dominion
