IMPERIAL ORGANISATION.

Press Association —Copyright. London, ' March 14.

Sr Frederick Pollock has published in the Times a memorandum signed by the Duke of Devonshire and Lords Rutland, Milner, Tennyson, Avebury, Sir John Colomb, and .Messrs Schuster, Sydenham, Clarke, Reeves, and others, outlining the essential points on which a general agreement is possible regarding Imperial organisation. The conclusions resemble those indicated by Mr Lyttelton's despatch. The memorandum suggests machinery enabling Colonial Conferences to acquire something in the nature of corporate continuity by the creation of a permanent Secretarial or Intelligence Department, and by permanent representation of colonial Governments in London by the High Commissioners and other specially appointed persons. The Times cordially endorses the general objects, but thinks the memorandum errs on the side of excessive vagueness, especially when referring to the permanent representation of the colonies.
