In these notes scale weeks since I suggested the holding
of a conference of Members of Parliament this summer from all parts of the British Empire. My friend, Sir Howard D'Egville, the secretary of the Empire Parliamentary AssoCiation, who during the past dozen years has performed so much useful work in making welcome the Parliamentary representatives Of the Dominion Parliaments and introducing them to British M.P.'s, sends me the interesting annual report of the Association. I notice that it is hoped to make arrange- ments for the visit of a delegation representing all parties in each of the Parliaments .of,the British Commonwealth next month, when, to borrow the words of the report, "excellent -opportunities would be afforded for informal conferences with home members of the Association, when various questions of common interest to the British Commonwealth of Nations would be considered and a valuable exchange of views take place."
