A melancholy conclusion, was how Sir Neville Chamberlain m a speech at a meeting in the city, described the outcome of the Imperial Conference, which he said, had offered the 'greatest opportunity of a 1 generation. The Government, to its lasting shame, had disappointed the Dominions representatives. Conservatives, if they had a- chance would quickly grasp the hand the Dominions had extended, entering the conversation with the fixed determination not to rise from the table until they bad concluded, to their mutual advantage, reciprocal trading arrangements, if the quota system were not acceptable to the Dominions or were impracticable owing to the exterior forces. The Conservatives would not shrink even from taxing foreign wheat rather than forego the supreme advantages of true economic unity.
