DELHI CONFERENCE

ANTICIPATION OF VALUABLE RESULTS ORGANISATION EAST OF SUEZ. NEW STAGES IN POLITICAL EVOLUTION (By Telegraph —Press Association —Copyright) LONDON. October 21. “The Times” Delhi correspondent says the Eastern Group Supply Conference marks a new stage in British political evolution because the commonwealths and their sister countries are assuming the responsibility of collaborating as a unit in supporting the British war effort when the Mother Country is preoccupied with her own peculiar problems. The vast resources of British countries east of Suez will be organised on a full basis under a scheme aimed at making the participating countries self-supporting for war purposes, the deficiencies of one being made up from the resources of the others.

While this will benefit the whole commonwealth special consideration is being given to the immediate needs of Britain. The Roger mission which has made a month’s survey of the Indian industrial field will be associated with the conference, thus simplifying the relation of India's arms expansion to the capacities of other commonwealth countries and the wider strategical requirements of the British forces in the East and Near East.

The "Daily Telegraph" says the conference will not be protracted. A standing committee will later be formed to facilitate the smooth working of the supply scheme. Discussion on general economic questions is being rigorously excluded. The chief items affected are munitions, including motor vehicles, clothing, equipment, engineering stores, precision instruments, drugs, medicines, food, petrol, oil lubricants. naval construction and aircraft.
