With only two- dissentients, the Conservative Party's annuai conference today passed a resolution from the Truro Division insisting that Britain, the British Commonwealth and Empire must have full freedom of right to make its own tariff arrangements.

Mr. Harold Macmjllan, winding up the .debate, said he believed that the people's faith could be found in a united Empire and a united Europe.
