Office, said "those who appreciate the importance of the proposals submitted to the Colonial Conference by the dominions oversea for the readjustment of their status, and then read this document, will be reminded of 'the mountain in labor which brought forth a mouse.' Lot us hope its appearance will remind people of the Empire, of the contrast between their needs and this outcome, while consoling them with the reflection that the mouse is creeping in the right direction';-"-.
