GENERAL CABLES

BRITAIN AND DOMINIONS

[United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] LONDON, Jan. 31.

Mr MacDonald and full British and Dominion delegations conferred for over two hours at St. Janies. Mr Fenton stated the Dominion status as defined in 1 026 was full recognised. There had been no hitch. He, believed difficulties arose in connection . with a committee in which all delegations were represented. Some objected to -an extension of Domlniqh '.'representation on it expressing the opinion it would give Britain a balance of power. Air MacDonald pointed out that nothing could be adopted unless a decision was unanimous. Accordingly it could not matter how extensive was the Dominion representation. An earlier proposal for committee of two delegates from each Power had been abandoned owing to the Dominion’s insistance on full representation, which was granted by the Conference. The Committee as a whole meets this afternoon for the first time since its inception to discuss in accordance with Air Stimson’s resolution yesterday, following the agenda items. First, France’s system; of global tonnage with transactional basis and classification of conditions of transfer. • ‘Second,: British-.system ofr categorical limitation. /: *;>;
