IMPERIAL ECONOMIC CONFERENCE
AUSTRALIA’S DESIRE.
ANOTHER OTTAWA. Economic Co-operation Throughout Empire. Press Association—Copyright. Received noon. Melbourne, To-day. The Federal Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. J. A. Lyons, states that action will be taken this year by the Commonwealth Government to secure a revision of the Ottawa Agreement. Foreshadowing another Imperial Economic Conference,, similar to that held in Ottawa in 1932, Mr. Lyons said that no revision of the Ottawa Agreement would be attempted at the Imperial Conference in London In May. The only question which wouid be raised at that conference, or in later London conversations, would be the method of obtaining the revision of the agreement at a later stage. Mr. Lyons indicated that the Federal Ministry had accepted the principle of economic co-operation throughout the Empire which had been established at Ottawa. It a decision was made to hold another conference, it was possible that the Commonwealth would propose that it be held in Australia, the only disadvantage being Australia’s distance from some parts of the Empire.
