Abstract

The British Empire in Conference

Hobson, J. A. | December 10, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article throws light on the Imperial conference, that ended up with an outpouring of sentimental rhetoric covering an almost failure of substantial results. No final decision was reached upon the question of the right of appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Some discussion took place on marketing propaganda and organization for consumption of dominion products within Great Britain, and the Empire Marketing Board has been put upon a more solid financial basis. The Imperial Economic Committee has also been reconstituted and will examine and report upon any economic questions which the dominions may agree to refer to it.
