MR THOMAS’S HESITATION.
[United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. ]
LONDON, November 12,
In th House of Commons, Mr J. H. Thomas (Secretary for the Dominions) informed Miss Gazalet, that the Cabinfet were considering the date for the holding of the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa.
Mr Gratia, n Doyle (Conservative) asked: In view of altered conditions is it necessary to wait till July? Mr Thomas: Altered conditions make that especially necessary. I am ready to interpret the fpelings of the House. The risk of failure must be considered, also all necessary preparations arid the hammering out of details. .(The first consideration ought to be ensured success. Incidentally there is the question of the Dominion themselves. It would be impossible to hold the conference before July, and it (would be absurd to. convene it if one of the dominions, for domestic reasons, were unable to attend. These facts are being considered. Sir H. Page Croft (Conservative) ; In view of the delay, will you use your influence to see if any . changes of policy occur. In the meantime the preferences of the Dominions will be the basis.
