EMPIRE CONSTITUTION
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS ONLY TECHNICAL DOMINION APPROVAL Australian and N.Z. Press Association LONDON, Sunday. Sir Harrison Moore, formerly constitutional adviser to the Government of Victoria, said the recommendations which may emanate from the Empire Constitutional Conference to be held on Tuesday may reasonably be expected to form the foundation for constitutional decisions by the next Imperial Conference. He pointed out that those decisions were subject to acceptance by the Imperial and Dominion Parliaments. The present conference would practically be limited to dealing with technical questions arising from the general principles laid down at the Imperial Conference of 1926, principally the Royal assent. Dominions legislation, Dominions extraterritorial legislation, Colonial Laws Validity Act, 1565, and the co-ordination of the shipping laws. The proceedings would remain wholly technical and theoretical until they were clothed with constitutional flesh and blood at the Imperial Conference next year.
