( Rv TelfiHranh-
(Receiyed 24, 11.55 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 23. , The Australian Associatecl Press political correspondent understands that the Imperial Conference defence discussions will be dominated by the situation likely to arise in the event of Britain being at war. The Dominions' right to decide re garding neutrality is fully reeognisedj liere; nevertheless, defence experts hold that, if Britain were at war, any de* claration of neutrality by any Domini ion not secure in such neutrality would be respectod, On the other hand, it firmly believed that, in the event of Britain being involved, the enecny would not respeot ships bringing essen-* tial foodstuffs from the Dominions toj Britain any more than they would W spect British ships. Being vitally ds« pendent on such foodstuffs, Britai® would be compelled to protect ship# from tbe Dominions whether or not th* Dominions were neutral.
