Rec. June 9, 8.25 p.m. LONDON, Thursday. Presiding at the annual luncheon of the Chamhers of Commerce of Great Britain, Lord Ellibank said he hoped the. British Government would treat wheajt and meat in a. generous and practical manner at the Imperial Economic Conferehce at Ottawa, in whicli event, he was sure great good would ensue. Sir JoHn Gilmour, Minister of Agriculture, said that if the British peoples' were unable to reach a common agreement, there. would: be little hope for the remainder of. the world. He, personally was hopeful for the results because the whole tone of the preliminary discussions, so far as Great Britain , was concerned, was not for self interest, but for the Commonweal, While Great Britain intended 'first to give consideration to the home market, the siicces'sfui interchange of , arrangements which would permit' free entry of certain produce, was hoped for. The cpnference would not be heipful unless the countries which had j ereeted five barred gates against imports, removed at least the top rail in favour of Empire goods.
