THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
CANADA'S SUGGESTIONS. THE TIMES SPEAKS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 16, 8.55 p.m. Lonuon, May l(i. The Times, commenting on Sir Wilfrid Lanrier's suggestions for discission at the forthcoming Imperial Conference to improve the All-Red route and for a clearer definition of the status of foreign Consuls-General, says that British Ministers were equally eager with their overseas colleagues to deal with the fonner question. On the second, Canada's view is that Consuls should he recognised as semi-diplomatic agents for direct communication in questions affecting Canadian interests. While no British stateman desires to limit Canadian autonomy, no part of the Empire, says the Times, ought to have relations with foreign Powers unless prepared to face the full responsibility for its own diplomacy. Semi-diplomatic activities in respect to foreign Consuls-General may at any time give rise to questions affecting the Empire's interests.
