IMPERIAL CONFERERCE.
SIR JOSEPH WARD INTERVIEWED. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received May 23, 8.5 a.m.) LONDON, May 2. Sir Joseph Ward, interviewed, said that the Empire was so big and scattered, and its growth so rapid, that there is necessity for devising a method of united action in great emergencies of vital interest. Jt was essential that we have in peace time a system which would alI ways be ready and effective for operation in time of war. He expressed a hope that the conference would be convinced that it was possible to erect machinery for the accomplishment of this purpose. Within a quarter of a century the overseas Dominions would bie more powerful in population and wealth production than the Motherland is today. He was referring not to the accumulated wealth, but to the direct productions of the soil and of industries. The voice of the Dominions must be heard, and in matters of Empire as a whole the brightest and best intellects of the Old Country and the New ought to combine in producing a system invigorating the body and the limbs of the greatest Empire the I world lias seen.
