CHIEF AIM, CONTRIBUTION TO THE GENERAL
UUOD. HOPES TO GIVE LEAD.
RUGBY, Wednesday. Speaking at a luncheon to the United ICingdom's delegation to the Ottawa Gonference, Mr. J. H. Thomas (»Sccretary of State for the Dominions) said they were going- to Ottawa ' not to see what they could get, but rather what they could contribute to the common good of the Empire. The British delegation had no cut and dried plan; they wanted to go with an open mind and with all knowledge of the difficulties and facts of the situation, but not tied in advance or prejudiced against any proposals whatever they might be. The world was anxious for a lead and it surely would give a lead to others if they could show that an Empire, comprising a quarter of the wholo world with diverso interests, had reached a common aim. Lord Hailsham said the problcms at Ottawa would not be easy, but goodwill and a spirit of give and take would aecomplish much.
