THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
Quebec, June 7,
Premier Malghen has sailed in order to attend the Imperial Conference. It is stated that he is prepared to propose that the only subjects on the 'agenda that are capable of being definitely debated at present are preparation for a special Constitutional Conference, a general review of the Empire's foreign problems, particularly as they affect the Dominions, the advisability of re- newing the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, and preliminary consideration of some working method of arriving at a common understanding regarding external affairs concerning all parts of the Empire, as a preliminary to the proposed Constitutional Conference.
It is reliably understood that Premier Meighen will only.sup- port renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Treaty on condition that it is satisfactory to the United States. It is believed he is prepared to be convinced that the Alliance will best serve British interests. The majority of Canadian members of the Commons endorse this view, with the stipulation that the Treaty shall not antagoniza the United States or impair stronger Anglo-American friendship.
Premier Meighen is particularly anxious to postpene disens sion of military and naval defence for the Constitutional Conference as he considers Canada's financial position prohibits embarking on a substantial naval programme at present.
THE PRIVY COUNCIL AND THE EMPIRE.
London, June 7. Professor J. Strahan, delivering a Rhodes lecture at the Univer sity College at Gower Street on Federation and Confederation in the British Empire, said that as the British constitution had become a model for all free peoples, so Britain's mode of dealing with colonies and dependencies might become a model for all countries dealing with one another.
کو
Justice Scrutton, presiding, wittily described the functions of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. He said an obscure door in a slummy street off Whitehall led to a not very cleanlooking room, where 4 or 5 sleepy old gentlemen sat round a horseshoe table listening to counsel. But the pageant passing in that room was a most amazing one. Besides the Dominions' representatives, India, Mauritius. Trinidad and every Colony brought the oddest questions for decision by a perfectly impartial and trusted tribunal. Hence the Privy Council was known in the most obscure parts of the Empire, although people did not know what it was. He related the story of a traveller in remote India asking the worshippers at a cer- tain altar what they were worshipping. They replied, "We don't know, but it is the great God Privy Council."
AIR FORCE MEMORIAL
Londdo June T.
The Secretary of the Royal Air Force Memorial Fund reports that, although like most organisations suffering from the present slump, the overseas Dominions are helping to maintain the con- tribution Nawab Tonk of Rajputana has subscribed the equival ent of £200 and other Princes and notables in India have sent vary- ing amounts. The residents of Shanghai, through Lady Des Vœux and the Overseas Club. have contributed 25. Nairobi and Kizuma in East Africa have sent the proceeds of a Gymkhana dance. amounting to £207. The Governor, residents and Garrison of Hongkong have contributed £273. Sir Lee Stack has forwarded £30 from officers and civilians of Khartoum
SILESIA AND GERMANY.
Berlin, June 7.
The Inter-Allied Commission's ultimatum to Hoefer, mentionedon to the line 2nd June, orders, that German troops be withdrawn Leschnitz-Dolina, both of which places are put at the disposal of Hoefer. The latter replied that out of consideration for the Ger- man population he was unable and unwilling to recall the self- defence bands from the places they were protecting and appealed to the soldier feelings of the Commissioners not to execute the threat of withdrawal from the industrial towns, which would be direct encouragement to the Polish insurrection and make it im- possible for Hoefer further to restrain the self-defence bands.
THE COAL DISPUTE.
'London. June 6.
Few particulars are available regarding yesterday's coal ne- gotiations, but it is understood that not a single word was auid about a national pool. Nevertheless, smooth progress was made, and the outlook in favour of a settlement is greatly improved.
One point wherein agreement was reached was that items trentable as costs of production, shali mutually be agreed to by the National Board on agreed principles. This will meet the miners' strong objection that the pre-war system of audits is unfair, be- cause labour is charged up as one of the items properly relating to capital expenditure.

#Frown Our Own Correspondent) INTERPORT TENNIS.
Shanghal June 7.
Ng Ste-kwong "came „back"" magnificently after bis unsatisfac- or showing in the Olympiad matches. The first of the Inter- port matches were played to-day, when Ng Sze-kwong_defeated F. Mansel Smith of Shanghal in pretty fashion, keeping the upper hand throughout and loading always by the odd set. With his beautiful backhand he was too. steady and clever for his Shanghai opponent.
Mansel Smith was the first to tire. He seemed timid about coming to the net. Ng Saekwong was strong in every deparizant.. He is the cleverest strategist seen here for a long time. He took the match, 6-1, 4-6, 6-2, 4-6, 84, total}- ing 155 points to Mansel Smith's 127.
- Tanaka of Shanghai defeated J. |W. Lo, 86°7-5, 6-1. Lo played
well, but Tanaks was at the top. of his game.
The doubles will be played to morrow, probably deciding the winners.
