THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
“ It should scarcely now he possible while the general circumstances of the Empire remain as they are to-day. for any question to lie raised to which the answer has not beeen either definite!}' given or clearly forecasted in the resolutions of the Imperial Conference. The three great watchwords of Liberty, Equality, and Unity have been freely and unmistakably accepted, and their application in detail has gone quite as far as the needs of our time demand without leading fo that kind of overrigid definiteness which may itself so easily prove a stumbling block. Future generations may look hac-k upon 1926 as the year in which the Empire definitely emerged from a difficult stage in its growth, and finally accepted that new conception of itself, as a free partnership of genuinely equal nations. which came to birth in the stress of war.”—Afr Bruce, Prime Minister of Australia.
