On Tuesday there was for the first time a Colonial

Office Conference, at which the Crown Colonies, Pro- tectorates and Mandated Territories were represented. Eight Governors were present. Mr. Amery spoke of the Conference as an experiment, but no one can doubt .that it will have regular successors and will become for its purpose an instittit4an like the Imperial Conference. Mr._ Amery justly pointed out the discrepancy between the large measure of unity which is characteristic of Colonial problems and the absence of any structural or administrative unity. The Conference should make good this defect.
